Chapter 125
Stella thought for a while. The acquaintance he was talking about could only be Yvonne. “I didn’t expect
you to have such a good relationship with Yvonne…”
At the mention of Yvonne’s name, Mr. Smith furrowed his thick brows, as if he was reminded of
something unpleasant. “Didn’t I get the wrong address the last time? She grumbled about it on the phone
for quite some time, you know. If it wasn’t because someone told me that you were very competent, this
matter would have been called off.” She suddenly realized that something was wrong. “So it was not
Yvonne,”
Before she could ask, she heard footsteps from the second floor and the voice of a man. “Mr. Smith, the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlesson today has ended.”
He was followed by a little girl, who was hoping and poking her head out. “Father, can I go out and play
now?” Mr. Smith put on a stern face. “You still have a dance lesson today. Come here and meet your
new teacher!”
With that, he pointed at Stella. “She was the one I told you about before. She is Miss Steele.” The little
girl dropped her head and greeted her wearily. “Miss Steele.” Stella smiled, then her eyes fell on the man
beside her. Justin happened to also look at her, smiling.
Although his face was still bruised, it seemed to have recovered a lot. It was still purplish but not as
swollen as before.
She felt as if she was pricked by a needle and immediately lowered her head. As soon as she saw the
bruise on his face, she would be reminded of the day he was beaten up by Weston.
She blamed herself for it but could only suppress her emotion and ignore him, pretending to be just
strangers.
However, he did not seem to have the same intention as her as he walked up to her. “Oh, you came here
by yourself. How long would your lesson be?” She was startled and replied, “One hour.”
He nodded and sat on the sofa casually. “That’s just right. I have something to discuss with Mr. Smith.
When you are done, we can leave together.” She glanced at Mr. Smith subconsciously, but he sat beside
Justin without flinching, seemingly not surprised that the two of them knew each other. Her eyes flickered
slightly as she suddenly thought of a possible explanation. Could it be that it was Justin who changed Mr.
Smith’s mind? She thought it was Yvonne all along.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing her standing motionless in place, Justin raised his chin slightly to look at her. His tone was gentle,
as if nothing had happened. “Ruby is still waiting for you. You can go on with your lesson.”
Only then did she come back to her senses and smile at the little girl. “Let’s go to the dance studio, then.”
The little girl was polite even though she was a bit unwilling. Still, she obediently greeted Stella and took
her to the dance studio. Stella first had an ice-breaking session with her and tested her dance skills; only
then did she brief her about her teaching plan. The little girl seemed impatient to listen to this, so Stella
directly demonstrated to her while explaining. They got along quite well. Ruby was apparently satisfied
with Stella. An hour passed quickly. She asked Stella when was the next time she would come.
When they went downstairs, she even saw Stella off to the door. The two men stood up the moment they
saw them. Justin looked at Stella. “I told you Miss Steele would surely not let you down.” Mr. Smith was
very satisfied. After chatting a little, he sent Justin and Stella out respectfully. He insisted on sending
them with a car, but Justin politely refused his offer.
Mr. Smith suddenly figured something out and glanced at Justin, then at Stella. Then, he winked
knowingly. “Oh, I understand!”
