Terel drove Mou back to the villa. While Mou's secretary went home.
"Stella is sitting on the sofa, Master." The butler reported as Mou stepped on his property.
Mou nodded and went inside, while Terel parked the car in the garage.
"That's fine. I didn't expect the banquet to come so quickly." Stella's lazy voice could be heard on the sofa. Mou ordered for a drink and went over.
"Of course, I'm not stupid enough to create scandals. This Master has more sense than that!" Stella chuckled as she hung up. Obviously, Tracy was having a hard time...
Mou sat down and watched as Stella started to eat some watermelon. Wondering why Stella was always eating...
"So how was it?" Stella asked with her mouth full. Not caring about her image in front of the most powerful businessman in the country.
"As planned." Mou replied, his voice had a tinge of disgust hidden within.
Mou also kept an eye on the reactions of Zou during the time he was there. The greed in her eyes was clear as day to him. So now was the time to create some trouble...
Stella finished eating and looked over to Mou. "You just caused a woman to want to chase you all the time, how do you feel about it?" Stella teased as she put her feet on the sofa.
Mou watched, he always thought that Stella's body was simply too dainty to be a male... His hands looked small and soft. While his feet looked something to be treasured.
Mou quickly snapped out of his thoughts. "It's just work." Mou replied.
Stella nodded. "Mmm, I never asked why you want to take the Fude family off the map." Stella attempted to pry.
Mou became quiet for a few minutes, as Stella started to eat another melon.
"They shouldn't exist." He replied in a cold tone. Something which brung shivers to the butler in the room.
Stella raised her eyebrows. "Oh, yet here you are working with me. So what did they do to offend the great Mou Guillard? Kill your family?" Stella said without much care.
The butler started to shake in fear. It was an absolute taboo to talk about anything related to Mou's family. The last person who did, lived in a desert for the rest of his life until he became dehydrated and decomposed...
Mou's eyes went dark, as the air around him became extremely suffocating. "How do you know that?" He asked with a killing look in his eye.
Stella shook her head. "There is no point in getting mad about it." Stella said as her face drastically turned serious.
"You just gave yourself away. Remember, the walls have ears. You might be the strongest in Country T but what if others want to take your position? You gave away your weakness to someone you don't even know the name of." Stella said as her face was deadly serious.
"..." Mou was quiet, he hadn't seen such an expression on Stella's face. He couldn't tell if he was acting or not.
While the butler was sweating buckets, if this man was indeed a spy then he just gave away a crucial weakness.
Mou might be a walking piece of paper, he shows no emotions for anything. But he holds his family close to his heart. When his parents died he turned into a walking death machine, anybody even talking bad of them went 'missing'. Even if it was other relatives. If he didn't like them, they were either killed or stripped of power.
No matter how he acts he would put family first, such a man was rare at high society, so his enemies would never assume a walking death machine to care about his family. Hence why his weakness was never abused.
Mou looked at Stella who went back to eating a melon with no care. "How powerful are you?" He asked, the fact Stella knew such a weakness existed meant that he had similar power to himself...
Stella shrugged her shoulders. "The fact you haven't kicked away Cerim, your mask is exactly that. You inwardly care very much for him." Stella replied, not giving the answer to the question Mou asked.
Mou dropped those thoughts immediately, he the realized that if he was more powerful than himself then the Fude family would have been crushed long ago... It seems Stella knew how to read people to their strengths and weaknesses.
"Mmm, so why are you here?" He asked, Stella had her own appartment now...
Stella looked at Mou in his eyes. "Your watermelon is better than what I get, where do you get it from?" She replied, ignoring the butler's twitching face.
Even Mou felt slightly defeated by the answer. "I'll just send some over to you." Mou said with a slight sigh.
Stella nodded as she continued munching away. While the butler silently cried tears of joy! 'Master has finally shown some emotions! Oh lord, I have to document this.' The butler ran away as soon as the conversation died out and Stella had no more requests.
Mou watched Stella. 'Even his mouth is small. How does he fit all that food into his body? If he's such a glutton then how did he eat at the Fude household? It was a rumor that he went missing sometimes but was it just to eat food? His fingers look so small too...' Mou then noticed his thoughts, he stiffened.
Mou had never been interested in having a relationship in the past. The women were just going for his family name. While a small rumor started that he was gay. He never cared much about that...
But now he was starting to feel something in his heart. He just couldn't stop watching Stella. Everything he did, made his heart palpitate.
Mou rubbed his chin, now that he discovered and confirmed his feelings... He just needed to act on them.
Stella noticed the stiff Mou suddenly become slightly determined. But she didn't care why, she was happy just eating. Not knowing what would be coming in the future...
