Chapter 14 "I'm not , " Monica said . " Helen just got to Emerald City yesterday and is still jet - lagged . I'm just a project manager at CLOUD , but Helen has given me full authority to handle this collaboration with your company . " She didn't mind revealing her true identity since she'd need to network to expand the market eventually , and using Helen's name made things easier . But remembering what Alexander had said earlier about doing anything to cure Stella's leg , she suddenly didn't want to say more . She didn't want to deal with those two and hoped they'd stay out of her way to avoid making her feel disgusted . But she believed that teaming up with the Johnson Group was the right decision , as even without knowing her true identity , Michael still stood up for her . She looked at Michael and asked with a smile , " What , Mr. Johnson , do you think I'm not qualified to represent CLOUD as just a project manager ? " ' Of course not . We're discussing a collaboration , and it doesn't matter who comes as long as they can fully represent CLOUD . Please convey my regards to Helen , Ms. Brown . " " I will . " " Ms. Brown , please , let's head to the meeting room . " Michael gestured for her to follow . Monica nodded slightly and followed him for a few steps , then seemed to remember something and turned back to Stella . " Oh , I forgot something . " Stella was still in shock , staring at Monica with a bewildered look . Monica chuckled . " Thank you for letting me watch such a great show just now . It was truly wonderful . " Stella's face turned red and white , but she forced herself to say , " Monica , why would you say that ... " " Stop ! " Monica cut her off , her tone suddenly cold . " Don't ever use that tone to call me again in front of me . It makes me sick ! " Stella couldn't say a word . Monica glanced at the onlookers and said indifferently , " I don't want to explain what happened nine years ago anymore . I don't care about what you think . Just a reminder , don't let someone's words deceive you . " With her reminder , everyone around suddenly realized that it didn't matter what kind of person Monica was . The problem was that Alexander didn't appreciate their support . In the end , they had offended CLOUD . CLOUD was a sought - after partner , and they had almost blown it because of Stella . 1/3 Chapter 14 More and more resentful eyes turned to Stella . Monica couldn't be bothered to watch the ensuing drama and left with a cold smile , turning to leave with Michael . She never looked at Alexander once . Stella , feeling the heat of everyone's stares , turned to Alexander and called out pitifully , " Alexander , I ... " Alexander didn't say a word ; he just gave her a cold look and walked away . Stella was left standing there , her face turning red with anger . Suddenly , a series of farting sounds echoed , and a foul stench quickly spread . It came from Stella . Someone shouted , " It stinks ! The daughter of the Brown family , the general manager of the Brown Group , farting in public , and such a smelly fart . What does she eat every day ? " " Seriously , it reeks . " " So disgusting . " Stella hurriedly covered her butt with her hands , trying to hold it in , but she couldn't . The farts kept coming out nonstop . Everyone covered their noses and stepped back , forming a large circle , leaving Stella in the middle . Stella had never been so humiliated . Facing so many mocking eyes , she finally couldn't take it and ran to the bathroom crying . But she left behind a lingering stench that didn't dissipate even outdoors . Meanwhile , Monica and Michael had already reached the second floor . Watching the scene below , Monica frowned slightly . While amused , she also found it strange . This familiar stench was just like the special laxative Sophia had developed . But it shouldn't be . How could Sophia's laxative end up with Stella ? " What's wrong ? " Michael asked curiously . " Nothing . " Monica smiled at him and entered the meeting room . Alexander stood not far away , watching the closed door . His face grew colder , feeling an inexplicable irritation and displeasure . Damn Monica , she could smile and be grateful to Michael , but she wouldn't even look at him ? 2/3 3.33 am Chapter 14 རྒྱུ་ ང PP He should have left immediately , but for some reason , he hadn't . On the second floor , in the meeting room . Michael personally brewed two cups of coffee and placed one in front of Monica . " Ms. Brown , please . " " Thank you , Mr. Johnson . No need to be polite . Let's get straight to the point , " Monica said calmly . Michael then got right to the point , and the discussion went smoothly . By the time they finished , two hours had passed . Michael stood up and extended his hand to her . " Ms. Brown , a pleasure to work with you . " " So , we have an appointment for CLOUD to sign the contract at ten o'clock tomorrow morning , " Monica said , shaking his hand . " I won't take up any more of your time . Goodbye , Mr. Johnson . " " I'll see you out . " Michael gestured for her to follow . Monica nodded in acknowledgment . Unexpectedly , as soon as they stepped out , they saw Alexander . He stood not far away , leaning casually against the glass railing , occasionally responding indifferently to people who approached him . However , when the meeting room door opened , he instinctively glanced over . As Monica stepped out , their eyes met . Michael raised an eyebrow and said with a half - smile , " Ms. Brown , aren't you going to say hello ? "
