Mr. Ford Is Jealous novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167

But Joyce was not afraid of Stella. She was just taken aback by her look. She’d never seen Stella acting so cold before… 

What was going on with her? What had happened in Yvonne’s office? Why had she changed so much after that? 

Stella had enough time to calm herself down that afternoon. She was a dance teacher, after all. Teaching the children was still the most important thing in her life. 

When it was almost time to get off work, Stella checked the time on her phone. It was the first time that she resented leaving work. She couldn’t go home now, so she gave her brother a call to tell him that she would be on a business trip for a while. 

Yvonne happened to pass by when she was telling Roger she couldn’t go home. She stopped and stared at Stella in dismay. 

Stella hung up the phone and turned around to leave, only to bump into Yvonne who was looking at her with a strange expression. 

Yvonne looked down at her shoes when their eyes met and said nothing. Stella was about to walk away, but Yvonne suddenly spoke. “You know,” she whispered in Stella’s ear, “If you need me to tell a white lie, just ask. I’ll help 

you.” 

Not long after that, Stella received a text message from Weston, telling her that he’d sent the driver to pick her up. Stella thought for a while and replied saying she had a private tutoring class so she might be going back a little later. This was not exactly a lie. In fact, Weston had checked Stella’s schedule and he knew that she really was hired as a private tutor, so he made no objections and just told her to tell the driver when her work was done. 

Stella was a little nervous when she got to Mr. Smith’s house because she thought she might meet Justin there again. She was greatly relieved when she found out that Justin would not be 

there that day. 

Mr. Smith himself was not at home either. Only a few nannies were with Ruby there. Ruby liked Stella very much. She was usually headstrong and naughty, but with Stella, Ruby became inexplicably obedient and affectionate. “Miss Steele,” Ruby said after her dance class, “My dad will be taking me to a movie set for an audition later. Do you think I’ll be a movie star one day, Miss Steele?” “I’m sure you will, Ruby!” Stella replied, pinching Ruby’s cherubic cheek. “Since you’re such a pretty girl!” But soon afterward one of the nannies dashed into the room and told Stella, “I’m sorry, Miss Steele, but it seems that Mr. Smith can’t make it home in time. The audition couldn’t be postponed either, so Mr. Smith asked if you could take Miss Ruby to the movie set?” Stella thought about it and almost instantly agreed. She didn’t want to go back to that place anyway, so why not?
