"Isn't Young Master Yuon extremely unlucky to have a partner such as Zou?"
"I agree, getting married after being exposed for cheating on your fiance with multiple men. Tch, does she feel shame?
"I don't think you can be too harsh on her, If the Fude family didn't accept her then she wouldn't be getting married to the main heir."
"True, her acting is also really good! I watched the trailer of her latest film and I can't wait to see it!"
"That's just because of the angles of the shots, she looks stiff in her shots and seems to be slightly out of place."
"Hmph, just a troll! I hope that Zou and Yuon have a happy marriage! She deserves him after working so hard."
"Working hard? She used her beauty to pull in a wealthy suitor, there is only one place where she is working hard at..."
The comments online about Zou and Yuon's marriage were never-ending, some supportive, some speculative, some completely against Zou's entrance into a distinguished family like the Fude household.
Business partners took note of every reaction by the public, since Zou's scandal the Fude business was on a steep decline. With the help of Yuon however, the business was stabilized. Once again proving his usefulness.
But they don't know that, they have the wonderous thought that since Ryan is the CEO, then he obviously directed the entire company. Only powerful opponents know the true mastermind, remembering to remain weary of Yuon.
Mou closed his laptop and packed his suitcase, he left his office and went into his living room...
He stopped in his tracks when he saw the scene, he saw a relaxed Stella. Leaning back on his sofa, eating a slice of watermelon, completely ignoring that it was his cousin's wedding in only 3 hours...
"Are you cold?" Mou asked as he glanced towards the old butler...
Stella was wearing a jumper and some loose clothing, with her wig in place she looked like a lazy young master who had dedicated their life to wasting away...
"Hmm? Not particularly, I guess you could say this has become a habit for me." Stella responded disinterestedly, she couldn't just say that she didn't have any light clothing...
Mou's eyes slightly darkened. 'What did he mean by that? Did he never have warmth growing up?'
He didn't know when, but after socializing with Stella, he always starts to think about him. He knew that he wouldn't be seen as 'following the norm' if he pronounced himself to be gay. But he didn't care, just the fact that only a couple of months ago, only Cerim ever entered his small villa. And now Stella takes the place as a second home tells the entire story.
He exploded into Mou's life, and had implemented himself into his heart.
"I see... Is there anything else prepared for this wedding later?" Mou decided to ask in advance, this man's intelligence was something he admired...
Stella threw the leftover watermelon onto the table and put her head onto a pillow. "There shouldn't be, it's not very nice to jynx the wedding you know?" Stella gave a smile as the butler came back into the room.
Mou smiled. "Indeed, it isn't good to jynx a wedding. So we should wish them the very best." Mou had a calculating look.
Stella chuckled, Mou understood her thoughts extremely well. How nice it was to be able to speak to someone this intelligent.
"Cancel my meetings for the afternoon, I have a wedding to attend." Mou gave his order, as the butler lowered his head and contacted his assistant.
"Haha, this wedding was supposed to be a large announcement to the world, imagine having the best beacon in the whole of this city arrive to show you off. They probably can't wait." Stella picked up another slice of watermelon and started to eat again...
Mou relaxed in his chair. It was no surprise that Mou would receive an invite from the Fude family for their next heir's wedding. He owned the most powerful business in the country, but it was done for courtesy, not intending for him to actually come.
Especially after most of the Fude family was enticed to believe that they had stolen plans from the Guillard enterprise, they couldn't afford to offend him.
But Mou hadn't appeared at any gatherings that weren't business related since his induction as CEO, no one expected to see the legendary figure...
"Master, everything is settled for the afternoon." The butler respectfully reported.
Mou nodded. As he went on his phone to message his assistant to settle some things he wanted...
Stella and Mou continued sitting in blissful silence, until it was time for both of them to get to work for the morning.
The butler watched for the entire time, he became more and more settled with having Stella around, now the young man's habits had been understood by all members of staff in the villa. The fact he was quite a foody was noted by both the staff, and the master...

"Sister Tracy, I'm not too sure about this role here. The director was recently found out to be having relations with his assistants. Is it possible to cancel filming?" Amy spoke with a calm tone.
*Sigh* Tracy rubbed her forehead. "I can, I don't understand why you have such bad luck, did you get cursed in your past life?" Amy really struggled to get into a stable working environment, hence she didn't release much since joining Guillard Entertainment, but when she worked, she was always exceptional.
She was slowly rebuilding her reputation, and the recent scandal with Zou had given her a lot of space from her former manager, as he was dealing with his own problems...
The door opened and Tracy looked in the direction, "Ah, good timing. As requested you have nothing today, but you do have a special guest coming again today..." Tracy looked tired as she started to feel sorry for Stella...
Stella smiled. "I see, tell her to meet me in the best salon in the city." Stella said mysteriously before going to leave.
Tracy just sighed, not understanding what was going on. Not that it was her business anyway... While Amy started to wonder why Stella even came into the office in the first place?
