Chapter 114:
Cherry panicked, saying, “Otherwise, no one will cto save us if Andrew beats us to death here! Let's go
back!”
Stella touched her forehead and replied, “How can we go back now that we're already here? How are we
supposed to handle the project if we run away? Don’t worry, I'll protect you!”
Although Cherry was still scared, Stella's words calmed her down slightly.
When they looked back at the private room, they saw the group of girls standing behind the manager.
These girls were like bodyguards or assistants, but it was hard to tell. However, one by one, they were dragged
inside the room.
Stella took this chance and followed them, pulling Cherry along. “Let's go in together. We're just here for
business—it’s not a big deal.”
Cherry nodded and followed Stella inside.
As they reached the door, a man named Mr. Kim stopped them.
“Who are you two? What are you doing here?”

Mr. Kim, who looked about 30 years old, stared at them harshly.
Stella smiled politely and replied, “We're from the branch office. We have a project to discuss with Mr. Matthews
in person.”
Her gaze shifted inside the room, scanning the scene.
The private room was large, about the ssize as the one RK had brought her to before. There were more than
a dozen men and women inside. In the center sat a man surrounded by the girls who had been forced into the
room.
Stella only needed a glance to know that the man in the middle was Andrew Matthews.
He seemed to be around 30, his whole aura exuding coldness. His eyes held a fierce intensity that made people
afraid to look at him directly.

“Mr. Matthews doesn’t want to talk business. Leave now!” Mr. Kim said dismissively, waving his hand as if to
send them away.
Seeing that they were about to be driven out, Stella quickly pulled Cherry into the room. “I'm sorry! But we really
need to speak with Mr. Matthews.”
She knew that if she didn’t seize this moment, there was no telling when or if she would ever meet Andrew
Matthews again. She didn’t want to cto this nightclub every night just hoping to bump into him.
Because of their movements, everyone's attention shifted toward them.
Andrew, who was holding a woman, glanced over at Stella and Cherry standing in the doorway, his gaze filled
with displeasure.
“Throw these unnecessary people out!” he ordered, his tone as sharp as a general giving commands.
Everyone in the room stood up, ready to throw them out.
But Stella didn’t back down. Instead, she said something unexpected, “Mr. Matthews, how about... | dance for
you?”
The room fell silent, everyone turning to look at Andrew, awaiting his reaction.
After a moment, Andrew raised his eyes to look at Stella, who stood at the door.
According to company rules, when conducting business, employees had to wear standard business attire.
Andrew’s gaze traveled from Stella's head to her toes.
Stella was thin and frail, a result of her struggles abroad, where she barely had enough to eat.
Andrew let out a soft scoff, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly as he placed a hand on the shoulder of the
woman next to him. He motioned for Stella to cover with an evil grin.

“Chere,” he said.
Cherry, terrified, grabbed Stella’s hand, fearing something bad would happen if she went over.
Stella gave her a reassuring look that said, “Don’t worry,” and then walked toward Andrew.
He raised his eyebrows, looking Stella up and down, his eyes locking with hers. “The dance... is unnecessary for
now,” he said with a sneer. “I'll have plenty of tto dance with you later.”
Laughter erupted from the group.
Cherry's heart raced with fear. Her back felt cold, and her legs grew weak, especially when she saw Andrew
place his hand on Stella’s shoulder.
That wasn’t the worst part—it was the way he looked at Stella, his gaze filled with lust as if he was eager to
undress her with his eyes.
Cherry, unable to contain her anger, suddenly blurted out, “Mr. Matthews, please show srespect! Stella is
Mr. Kingston's woman!”
A deadly silence fell over the room.
Mentioning RK’s nwas like throwing fuel on a fire. Instead of backing off, Andrew's interest in Stella only
grew.
“Mr. Kingston's woman...” Andrew repeated, raising his eyebrows as he turned his attention to Stella. His other
hand, which held a cigarette, lifted Stella’s chin. With a wicked smile, he said, “Then letsee... what Mr.
Kingston's woman looks like.”
