Stella walked to the private car park to see Mou's black Rolls Royce, she opened the door and sat inside.
"How was it?" Mou asked as he went to start the car.
"Mmm, he joined my mother. Not that I'm surprised, the deal he got was quite good." Stella relished in the warmth of the heater in the car.
Mou shook his head. "I think they are just too greedy. If they knew that you had 70% shares, I don't think they would even dare touch you." Mou wondered if these people were just stupid or not...
Stella chuckled. "I know, but where is the fun in that? They had the idea to go against me. So eliminating them quickly is the only way." Stella spoke coldly as she covered herself with a blanket.
Mou smiled, as he drove over to the Pold mansion. "They have been expecting you, I've been hearing it from Nio constantly." Mou was annoyed, couldn't they leave Stella to rest after working for so long?
"Mmm, Emily said her sister had been going nuts trying to meet me again. I remember I met her in a cafe." Stella chuckled at that memory.
Stella decided that going to the Pold mansion with her makeup was no good. She opened the glove box. Revealing a vanity table...
Mou had personally put a vanity table inside every single car of his. Just for Stella, he drove. As Stella took off all her makeup.
At least Stella was wearing good clothing. A female suit was pretty good... Mou thought it was a shame she didn't wear a pencil skirt. But thinking that others would see it instead of him. He thought the suit was a good idea.
The guards at the Pold mansion recognized the expected guests and let them in. Mou parked his car outside of the mansion door.
It was a similar mansion to the Guillard mansion, ancient and grand. It was clear that the Guillard family was more wealthy. As the mansion was bigger and had better security. But the Pold mansion was nothing to snuff at.
Yet, Stella was unfazed, she walked up to the door as it opened. Revealing a grand entrance.
"Didn't you see the game Saturday? That bastard tried to injure me intentionally!" An aggrieved and extremely angry voice shouted for the heavens.
*Cough* "I don't think so, he was trying to grab your attention." Nio mumbled, some guy tried to tackle his sister intentionally grabbing her shirt! He should sharpen his knives...
"Calm yourself down Sasha, we have guests today." A calm voice spoke, most likely Hannah. The oldest of the siblings.
"Welcome Master Guillard, Miss Stella. Please come this way." The butler was slightly ashamed by his employers. They could hear them from a few rooms away...
Stella just smiled as she and Mou followed the butler into the lavish dining room.
I guess the largest difference between the Guillard mansion and the Pold mansion was the kitchen and dining room. Laura (The mother) often enjoyed cooking. Emily also enjoyed cooking and Hannah was often in charge of every meal. Meaning the kitchen was made to suit them all.
It was an open kitchen into the dining room, the table was obviously quite big to fit the entire family. Edward (The father) set a rule that the family should always eat together. It was his way to keep his family together, unlike other high society families.
"Ah, Stella!" Emily was glad to have Stella over in their house at long last.
"Ohhh, it's been a while since I saw you, Master Guillard. You look a bit thinner than before." Edward commented, he had a habit to call Mou 'Master Guillard' he just teases his son that he has Mou as a boss.
"It has been Master Pold. My girlfriend was invited so I invited myself along." Mou shamelessly pointed out why he is here.
Stella lightly coughed. Trying to ignore the comment from Mou...
"It is you! Wow, I feel stupid knowing I spoke to you without knowing who you are when both Emily and my brother knew you." Sasha (The waitress from chapter 61) complained with bright eyes.
Stella shrugged. "No need to feel stupid. The idiot next to me didn't know I was a female still." Stella decided to tease Mou.
"..." Woah!
"Mmm, I still fell in love with you though. It is fate that brought us together." Mou calmly said with a smile.
"..."
Stella just ignored the cheezy comment and decided to take her seat.
*Cough* "We are going to have to wait for my second daughter, she is coming back from the office." Laura informed with a warm smile.
Soon as Lucy came home, Stella smiled. "Baby, be quiet. Or there will be punishment later." Lucy sensually commented as she walked into the dining room with Tracy.
"..."
The family was quite impervious to the comments. But Stella found it... Intriguing. "You are making my future wife think dirty things." Mou coldly commented to Lucy.
Lucy shrugged in response. As she and Tracy took their seat.
Tracy was in an awkward position. Stella was her artist, and the girlfriend to her boss... "Tell me the details later." Stella seriously said to Lucy.
Lucy slyly smiled. "I like you, aren't you the ice cubes girlfriend? Even Sasha and Emily liked you. Gosh, it's like an orgy."
"..." Too far?
Edward imagined the women weren't his daughters and they didn't have dirty looks on their faces. "Alright, let's eat." He was dejected, did he raise a family full of perverts?
The dinner was the warmest dinner Stella ever had, she got to know the entire family over again. Mou even had a smile plastered on his face seeing Stella so involved. It was the most expressionate the Pold family had ever seen him.
"Julie's exports? You mean..." Lucy found out that Stella was the CEO of the largest company under the Bei family.
Stella smiled and put her finger to her lips. "After I've sorted out the company, I would be more than happy to strike up a favorable deal." Stella smiled, she had to thank the Pold family for showing her how warm life could be.
Mou raised his eyebrow. He figured out what Stella was thinking and just lightly shook his head. 'Maybe I should thank them more as well...' He wondered if he should help out Tracy...
The meal was over after the fifth course. Stella felt her stomach was bloated as she sat in the car.
She was sitting in thought. The large family was so lively and comforting... Maybe she and Mou could have a family like that one day?
"What is my sugar thinking about?" Mou asked, seeing Stella's 'thinking face' he felt compelled to ask.
"Having children." Stella blurted.
