Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor)
Chapter 83 Being a Happy Couple

Chapter 83 Being a Happy Couple

Hearing her words, Mr. Zach- the marketing department director immediately signaled his subordinates with glances.

However, Amelia cast cold glances at Stella as she sneered, "I remember Ms. Taylor is pretty good at serving tea to the guests. Then please go and make me a cup of tea!"

At this instance, all eyes turned to Stella. The conflict between the real daughter and the illegitimate daughter seems to never seems to be resolved.

Stella stood up, looked at her, and walked toward the kitchen with a blank expression.

As soon as David remembered the people who planned to merge Oliver's and Celeb's company together, he broke out in cold sweat.

Just as he stood up and decided to stop Stella, he stopped and thought, 'Maybe it's just a coincidence? Maybe they were planning to merge their companies, but it just happened to be in time for Stella's accident...'

Anyway, Stella's background still remained a mystery, but not Amelia's.

He couldn't offend Amelia- the real daughter- for Stella's sake, who was an illegitimate daughter.

Having made up his mind, David sat back and remained silent like the others.

Not long after, Stella returned with a tea tray. She served everyone with a cup of tea. And soon, the conference room was filled with the tea aroma.

When she placed the teacup in front of Amelia, the latter threw a casual glance at it and raised the teacup to her mouth but didn't drink it. Instead, she sniffed it and frowned slightly.

"This tea..."

Everyone put down their teacups and looked at her in silence. Amelia sneered, "The color of this tea is so dark, did you even wash it before brewing?"

"Ms. Taylor, do you actually know how to brew tea? Don't you know that rinsing is the very first step in brewing tea? The first infusion of tea should be poured out! Hah, you can't even do such a small task- then how could you take on the role of a manager?"

"You're lucky to be serving me today." Amelia crossed her arms as she boasted arrogantly, "If you were to serve someone else, wouldn't you be the laughing stock? Oh please Ms. Taylor, bear in mind that you represent the image of the company! You must never make a mistake like that again, got it?"

Stella, on the other hand, looked at her indifferently.

"Of course, I am aware that I am the image of the company. That's why I'm using the finest quality of tea to serve you, Miss Taylor."

"Is this the FINEST QUALITY TEA you meant?"

"This is White Tipped Oolong Tea, also named the Oriental Beauty." Stella chuckled, "We don't need to wash this type of tea as we drink the leaf bud. This is because it contains a lot of amino acids and theophylline. If we wash it, these compounds will be washed away."

Within seconds, Amelia's face became distorted as the others continued to drink the tea to hide their giggles.

Amelia, who lost her face at that moment stood up abruptly and glared at Stella.

"What? How dare you pretend to understand the tea? Have you ever seen those fine teas that my dad usually serves me? Don't fool me with that Oriental Beauty you mentioned earlier! I have never heard of such a thing before, and I bet that it is just some random tea dregs!"

Mr. Zach gave a dry laugh as he explained, "Well, Oriental Beauty is indeed the best tea in our company, and it is only served to VIPs. Well... I have heard that Sir Martinez of the Emberfall is very fond of this tea. So, the Martinez has spent millions of dollars just to purchase this kind of tea!"

"You're right!" Someone exclaimed, "How could it be tea dregs? You're just joking right, Miss Taylor?"

"You guys..." Amelia bit her lip as her face flushed with anger.

At the same time, Stella gave her sideways glance- which Amelia thought that was humiliating her.

Losing her composure in pure embarrassment, Amelia grabbed the tea cup and splashed the tea toward Stella's face without hesitation.

As if anticipating her reaction, Stella quickly dodged aside. The tea was poured onto the wall and the teacup broke into pieces.

Within seconds, the conference room fell into a sudden silence. Everyone was staring at Amelia who was acting like a shrew with their widening eyes.

"Miss Taylor, what are you doing?"

By this time, the two directors were already displeased with her rude behavior. If they were to cooperate with her, she would definitely cause them endless trouble!

Stella halted, trudged toward Amelia, and lightly squeezed her arm. Just as Amelia was about to blabber again, she was stunned by Stella's gaze.

She rarely saw Stella act so stern. Now, she realized that Stella was no longer the innocent white sheep who could be bullied by anyone. Realizing this fact, Amelia's heart trembled in fear and she no longer dare to argue.

Could it be that she was influenced by Liam, who was cold to others after being with him for so long?

"What are you going to do?"

"Sis," Stella lowered her voice as she stared at her, "I represent the company, while you represent Dad and the Taylor Group! If you behave unreasonably, Dad's reputation would be damaged, don't you think so?"

Listening to her words, Amelia stared at her as she clenched her fists.

"If this cup of tea had been thrown at me just now, the company would have been crowded with spectators, and someone would upload the recorded video on social media. Then, news of 'Taylor Group, who is the first party humiliated and physically attacked Party B's staff for no reason' would surely be the hot topic by then!"

"Sis, I'm sure that you're aware that Dad is a person who is concerned about his reputation. What do you think he will do to you after knowing this matter?"

At this instance, Amelia's face turned red. She was unable to retort back.

Stella scoffed and let go of her arm, "Sis, since you have started working, you must be careful of your words and behavior. After all, I'm also a Taylor, and I don't want to be embarrassed by your childish acts!" "Hah, it seems that this cup of tea is not to Miss Taylor's taste." Stella raised her voice as she smirked. "I'll serve you another cup of tea!"

After saying that, she elegantly turned around and walked out of the conference room calmly.

'Hah, since she was not used to drinking fine-quality tea, let me serve her tea dregs as she wished!' thought Stella as she scoffed coldly.

But then, she suddenly recalled something.

In fact, she actually didn't recognize the Oriental Beauty that had just been brewed. It was all thanks to Liam, who had once brought this type of tea home for her to drink. He was also the one who had taught her not to wash the tea before brewing it.

But since Stella had little interest in tea, she hadn't taken it seriously.

Yet, she didn't expect to hear from the Director today that the Martinez family from the Emberfall also liked this kind of expensive tea.

A strange thought flashed through her mind at instance.

Could it be that Liam was...

But soon, she shook her head again and laughed at herself for being too sensitive. It was just a slightly more expensive type of tea, it's not like there was anything rare about it. So how could these two things be connected? Liam must have nothing to do with the Martinez family.

The cooperation meeting, which could have been resolved in an hour and a half was delayed until the end of the day due to Amelia's uproar.

After work, Stella came home tired. As soon as she entered the house, she lay down on the sofa and let out a long sigh.

Liam poured her a glass of water.

"Thanks."

"Your face looks quite pale." He sat next to her and touched her forehead, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Stella shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Maybe the weather's too hot and I'm a bit tired. You're hungry, aren't you? I'll prepare the dinner right away." "Hey, you don't have to," Liam squeezed her shoulder.

He suddenly realized that she had lost weight again- he could feel her bones protruding out of her skin just by squeezing her shoulder.

There was a slightly strange feeling flickered at the bottom of his heart.

"Stella, let's go out for dinner tonight."

She blinked at him with her wide eyes, "Where are we going to?"
