Lingering Passion: Mr. Sutton Wants to be Your Male Lead!-Chapter 72: Loving with Love

Stella asked directly, and Silas Sutton’s throat moved.

The two stared at each other, water droplets sliding off Silas Sutton’s freshly washed hair.

After a while, instead of answering, Silas Sutton asked back, "Do you want to be supported or employed?"

Stella remained composed, "Employed."

Silas Sutton, "Then it’s employment."

Tonight, it rained heavily in Brynnfield, with loud thunder and heavy raindrops.

Silas Sutton didn’t know how Stella came over.

But it was obvious to the naked eye that she was almost soaked through; if it weren’t for the thick fabric of her clothes, one could imagine the scene.

Upon hearing Silas Sutton say employment, Stella bowed nearly ninety degrees to him, then straightened up and said, ’Sorry for bothering you so late,’ turned and left.

Seeing this, Silas Sutton’s eyes darkened, and he reached out to hold her wrist.

Stella turned back in surprise, her eyes landing on his large hand gripping her wrist, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Silas Sutton’s expression was indistinct, "Did you drive?"

Stella replied truthfully, "No."

Silas Sutton said, "I’ll take you."

Without waiting for Stella to refuse, he turned and went back to the bedroom to change clothes.

About five minutes later, Silas Sutton appeared at the entrance in a suit, holding an extra blazer.

Silas Sutton strode outside, tossing the extra blazer to Stella.

Stella instinctively caught it, then smiled and said, "President Sutton, I think given our subordinate relationship, your behavior seems a bit inappropriate."

Silas Sutton stopped and turned around, his eyes calm, "I think given our subordinate relationship, your way of talking is a bit inappropriate."

Stella, "..."

Indeed, no subordinate dares to speak to their boss in such a lecturing tone.

Stella’s red lips moved, wanting to apologize, but Silas Sutton had already started walking again.

A few minutes later, Stella sat in the passenger seat, with Silas Sutton’s blazer on her lap.

Silas Sutton quietly turned on the car’s air conditioning and played some soothing music.

The two remained silent the whole ride, until they arrived at the hospital. Silas Sutton held the steering wheel with one hand and bit a cigarette, then spoke in a deep voice, "I’ll give you a week off, I’ll handle the handover at Omni."

Stella, "Thank you, President Sutton."

Silas Sutton’s voice was indifferent, "Forget the verbal thanks. I’m a businessman, I don’t do loss-making deals; show some real skills to thank me."

Silas Sutton’s tone and expression were equally cold, but the more he was like this, the more reassured Stella felt.

Too much happened today, and Stella wasn’t in the mood to pledge loyalty to Silas Sutton.

Luckily, Silas Sutton didn’t mind.

Getting off Silas Sutton’s car, Stella stepped onto the stairs.

Silas Sutton watched her enter the lobby through the car window, then got out and stood by the roadside smoking.

Under the dusk streetlights, the cigarette in Silas Sutton’s fingers flickered brightly.

After finishing a cigarette, Silas Sutton got back into the car.

In just a few minutes, Silas Sutton drove away, completely unaware that in the corner of the parking lot, a woman in sunglasses and a black coat had taken pictures of him and Stella.

[Charlotte, isn’t this Silas Sutton? Why is he in Brynnfield?]

[I saw a woman get off his car, at this time, maybe they slept together?]

Meanwhile, Stella got off the elevator and met Forrest Keller sitting on the hallway bench eating instant noodles.

Forrest Keller swallowed the noodles in his mouth and proactively greeted Stella, "Manager Grant."

As the saying goes, a smiling face often leads to smooth roads, especially since Forrest Keller ran around to help her a lot today.

Stella pulled a smile on her lips, apologetically saying, "Sorry, Assistant Keller, you helped me so much today, and I didn’t even manage to buy you a proper dinner."

Forrest Keller replied with a smile, "It’s alright, I travel often, eating boxed meals is normal."

After speaking, Forrest Keller asked Stella, "How is your mother?"

Stella nodded, "After waking up, she’s in a decent condition."

Forrest Keller, "Yeah, you don’t have to worry too much. President Sutton said he’ll help find a kidney source, so there certainly won’t be any problems."

Stella said, "President Sutton is very kind-hearted."

Forrest Keller’s expression was as usual, "Yes, President Sutton is always very good to his people."

Forrest Keller thoughts: It’s just that at the moment, you are the only one who qualifies as his people.

The two exchanged pleasantries in the hallway for a few sentences, and Stella let Forrest Keller go back to the hotel to rest.

Forrest Keller took the opportunity to suggest, "Your mother seems to need a longer hospital stay, accompanying her every day isn’t practical. Have you considered hiring a caregiver?"

This suggestion reached Stella’s heart. She didn’t hide it and honestly said, "I do intend to, just not sure about the salary."

She heard that caregiver fees at the hospital aren’t cheap.

Now with Mrs. Grant hospitalized and needing surgery, every penny spent required careful calculation.

Forrest Keller went on to say, "I’m also not sure, but today I heard a caregiver at the nurse station asking nurses to help find a job; I overheard that the salary seems to be 200 a day."

Stella’s eyes lit up at the words, "200 a day?"

Forrest Keller robustly replied, "Yes, if you need, I can inquire for you tomorrow?"

Stella looked grateful, "Then I’ll trouble you."

Forrest Keller, "It’s no trouble."

I was just waiting for you to say this; without bothering me, how can I report back to the boss?

After their chat ended, Stella returned to the hospital room. Forrest Keller pulled out his phone to message Silas Sutton: President Sutton, mission accomplished.

Silas Sutton: Keep your mouth shut.
