CHAPTER 36: CHAPTER 36: FIRST LOVE IS HARD TO FORGET

The exchange between the two was straightforward, with no evasive maneuvers.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the carriage became quiet.

After a moment, Stella Grant clenched the plan she was holding, "President Sutton, you don’t lack women."

Silas Sutton didn’t refute, "Indeed."

Stella Grant, "I’m not someone who can play such games."

After saying this, Stella Grant directly looked at Silas Sutton, saying partly truthfully, partly not, "President Sutton, aren’t you afraid I might cling to you?"

Silas Sutton heard this, smiled playfully, with no sign of fear on his face, instead, there was a hint of something deeper, "Want to try?"

Stella Grant closed her eyes for a moment, when she opened them, there was a hint of reckless abandon mixed in, "President Sutton, marriage?"

Stella Grant’s tone shifted too quickly, Silas Sutton was momentarily stunned, and a considerable fluctuation appeared in his gaze, "What?"

Stella Grant, "You must have inquired about my situation. I really need money, I’ve had only one boyfriend who cheated on me, so whether it’s out of practical difficulty or emotional frustration, I’m in no mood to play games with a man."

Silas Sutton raised an eyebrow, "So you want to get married?"

Stella Grant replied, "Yes."

Silas Sutton looked at her in silence, after a few minutes, he snorted and said, "I’m not someone’s backup plan."

Stella Grant didn’t understand the meaning behind Silas Sutton’s words, assuming he was making excuses for his withdrawal, she smiled and pulled the topic back to business, "Would you like to take a look at the plan, President Sutton?"

Silas Sutton answered evasively, "Do you like him that much?"

Stella Grant knew who Silas Sutton was referring to, pursed her lips and replied, "President Sutton, that’s my personal business."

Silas Sutton laughed mockingly, "Got it."

After speaking, Silas Sutton took the plan and feasibility report from Stella Grant’s hand, carefully read it from beginning to end, and gave a fair evaluation, "Well done, take it to the Sutton Group to sign the contract tomorrow."

Silas Sutton’s straightforwardness exceeded Stella Grant’s expectations.

Stella Grant’s lips curved slightly, her brows revealing a smile, "Thank you, President Sutton."

Silas Sutton, "Go back to work."

Stella Grant, "Alright, take care, President Sutton."

After speaking, Stella Grant smiled at Silas Sutton, turned around, and left the car.

Today, Stella Grant wore a black suit skirt in a very conservative style, yet it exuded an indescribable charm when it was on her.

Only after Stella Grant entered the company did Forrest Keller open the driver’s door and get in the car.

Silas Sutton glanced at the medication for treating the wound left by Stella Grant, then said in a deep voice, "Let’s drive."

Forrest Keller glanced back, noticing Silas Sutton’s unpleasant expression, he dared not ask more, only responded, "Yes."

After the car drove a while, Silas Sutton suddenly spoke, "Forrest Keller."

Forrest Keller looked up and met Silas Sutton’s gaze in the interior mirror, "President Sutton, what is it?"

Silas Sutton asked, "Have you ever been in a relationship?"

Forrest Keller answered, "Yes."

Silas Sutton knew Forrest Keller was single now, and snorted lightly, "Why did it end?"

Forrest Keller said, "Her family thought I was a poor guy without a future and forced her to break up with me."

Silas Sutton scrutinized him, "First love?"

Forrest Keller nodded, "Yes, first love."

Silas Sutton was silent for a moment, then raised his hand to squeeze his brows, speaking in a deep and cold voice, "Is first love hard to forget?"

Forrest Keller was frightened by the chill in Silas Sutton’s words, after thinking deeply, he spoke with difficulty, "G-generally, i-it’s like that, b-because it’s the innocent feelings from when love first blossoms, so, so..."

As Forrest Keller spoke, Silas Sutton’s expression grew darker.

Before Forrest Keller could finish, he was cut off coldly, "Forrest Keller, you’re talking a bit much today."
