Chapter 147 Thanks for Absolutely Nothing
48 Pearls
The moment Stella opened her mouth, Louis felt his scalp go numb. And the worst part was he couldn’t even get mad, he didn’t dare to
Sure enough. Abraham’s voice turned cold on the other end of the line the second he heard what Stella said.
“Tell him to get lost.”
Louis went silent.
Stella’s mouth twitched as she instinctively looked at him.
His head felt like it was going to explode. What the heck? Why did Abraham sound like I had just bullied Stella or something?
He was about to step forward when he heard Stella speak into the phone again.
“He said he gave the wrong one and came to take it back.”
Finally, an explanation.
Louis thought, That should do it, right?
He’d delivered the wrong ring yesterday, and just like that, Abraham had someone call to cancel the deal. So now what?
Just as Louis was anxiously waiting for Abraham’s response-
Stella, bless her soul, added, “He brought a bracelet to exchange for it.”
She’d already opened the box and, seeing it was a bracelet, said it without thinking
The moment Louis heard the word bracelet, he knew this was about to go south.
Sure enough, the next second, Abraham replied coldly over the phone, “Tell him to get lost. Now,”
And with that, he hung up. Louis had
questioned his life choices more than he did in that moment.
Stella glanced at him. “You saw that. No use trying to talk nicely.”
So he might as well give up trying to use her as a backdoor into Abraham’s good graces.
Louis looked at her, lips parting like he wanted to say something, but he was too mad to even get the words out. Is she really trying to help me? She doesn’t even explain anything properly–let alone speak on my behalf. She can’t even get the story straight. And now the’s acting like she’s done me a favor.
Louis took several deep breaths, forcing down the weight in his chest. In the end, all he managed to say was a bitter. “Thanks.”
Thanks a lot, Goddess. With those awful people skills–no wonder she turned out like this, spoiled rotten by Abraham.
Louis couldn’t stand to be in that office for another second. Siella really was a menace. Truly.
“Mr. Louis,” she called out as he reached the door, “should I pay you back for the ring?”
Lours stumbled, then gritted out through his teeth. “No”
He didin’t dare to accept compensation from her.
Just as he opened the door, Stella stepped up behind him and grabbed his sleeve. “Here, Mr. Louis, take this back.”
