Chapter 114 Reunion, in the Blink of an Eye, Felt Like a Million Years
Stella Grace’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at the wooden token.
There were no signatures on the wooden token. The handwriting was elegant and the brushstrokes prominent.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
She could tell at a glance that it was Jasper Milton’s handwriting.
“It was written today.” Lena Yard exclaimed in surprise.
Stella’s eyes had turned misty. She lowered her eyes as much as she could to hide her tears.
“Inspector Grace, what’s wrong?” Lena asked.
“Do you have a pen and a wooden token? I want to stay alone for a while.” Stella said, fighting to remain calm.
“Oh, yes.” Lena fished out a pen and a wooden board, which she had prepared for a long time ago, from her bag and handed them to Stella.
Stella sat under the tree and wrote on the board, “I won’t forgive you. Take care.”
She did not write the name and the date. She hung it next to the wooden token written by Jasper and stared at them.
The two wooden planks were leaning against each other, swaying along with the wind.
She did not expect that he also comes to Sun City.
Was he also here to investigate Lionel Lausanne?
When they went back to the office, Director Gold, the director of Sun City, was already there.
He was about fifty years old, tall and sturdy, and had a radiant smile. He held out his hand to Stella and held it firmly. “Boss, you are welcome to inspect our work.”
“I don’t deserve to be a boss. The superiors asked me to come over. Just go through the standard procedures and cooperate with each other.” Stella also smiled and said.
“Inspector Grace is very young. How many years have you been an inspector?” Director Gold greeted her warmly.
“Sometimes maturity doesn’t depend on age. It’s enough to have a keen mind for discipline inspection,” Stella said ambiguously.
“Yes, yes, indeed, Inspector Grace is really young and capable. During the period of inspection, we will definitely cooperate with your job. Please take a seat.” Director Gold smiled.
In fact, Stella’s position was not all that high.
Just like in the military, she was just a soldier, but soldiers could bring down the military.
Although she was just an ordinary staff of the Discipline Inspection Commission, when she went to another city to supervise, she would definitely be cordially treated by the Discipline Inspection Commission of that city, as if she were the Empress.
Her feedback was very crucial.
Half-way through the meal,
Director Gold received a phone call. “Okay, alright, you must entertain him well. He is Deputy Commander Davis’s future son-in-law. It’s not that far into the future either. Okay, okay, I’ll come over now.”
When Stella heard the words “Deputy Commander Davis’s future son-in-law”, she clenched the glass so tightly that her fingernails turned white.
“Well, I’m sorry. I’ve to go over to propose a toast.” Director Gold picked up the glass.
Sensing the situation, Lena Yard held a wine bottle in her hand and said, “Director, I’ll go with you. A mix of Jacks and Jills makes a tough job a breeze.”
“Funny fella. Okay, let’s go together.” Director Gold walked in front of them.
“Is Deputy Commander Davis’s future son-in-law the son of Deputy Commander Milton?” Taylor Zenith asked Sheena Zane next to him.
“Yes, I saw him on television last time. He is very handsome, and his facial features are very charming. He is even more handsome than the male lead of an idol drama. Most importantly is that he has a good temperament, a strong aura, and with just a look he can win a battle from thousands of miles away.” Sheena said with admiration.
“No wonder that little girl, Lena, is so eager to see him.”
“Why don’t we go and have a look as well? Inspector Grace, let’s go together.” Sheena suggested, picking up her glass.
Stella’s eyes were slightly red. “No, I’m a little drunk. I want to go back and rest early.”
“Then go back to rest. Old Yard, you didn’t drink, did you? Why don’t you send Inspector Grace back?” Sheena ordered Eden Yard.
“Okay.” Eden picked up the clothes hanging on the chair.
“Remember to entertain her well.” Jade Lowell ordered.
“Yes, Sir. Inspector Grace, let’s go.” Eden led the way.
Stella left with her head down.
She still did not know what kind of attitude she should portray if she met Jasper Milton.
She was afraid that it would break his heart. She was even more afraid that it would break her own heart.
Eden took Stella to the best six-star hotel in Sun City.
“Your Discipline Inspection Institution’s dormitory is this good?” Stella was astonished and got out of the car.
“Well, you came in a hurry. Our Discipline Inspection Institution’s dormitory does not have an empty room, so it’s inappropriate for others to move in. This hotel has a contract with our institution, and the room rate is not expensive.”Old Yard explained.
Stella was worn out and did not object any further. She followed Old Yard into the lobby.
Old Yard showed some documents and said in a low voice, “I’m from the Discipline Inspection Institution. I need a presidential suite. Don’t need to register. In the meantime, it’s a month’s stay.”
“Yes.” The receptionist swiped a card, handed it to Old Yard, and said respectfully, “On the 18th floor, room 1829.”
“Inspector Grace, we’re done here, this way please.” Old Yard walked ahead and arrived on the 18th floor.
On the 18th floor, there was a special guest room manager who stood at the elevator entrance to welcome them.
“Number 1829.” Old Yard said.
“This way, please.” The guest room manager said with a smile. Then he led Stella to the door of her room and respectfully pushed the door open.
“If you require any assistance, please call our extension number 1800. We will serve you 24 hours daily if you need any service. There are specific services listed on the bedside table in the room. If you need anything extra, you can always inform us.” The guest room manager said gently.
His voice was so mellow that it made people feel like they were immersed in the spring.
“Thank you,” Stella Grace said.
“Then Inspector Grace, I won’t disturb your rest anymore. I will come to pick you up for work at 8 o’clock tomorrow.” Old Yard said with a smile.
Stella nodded. “Sorry for the trouble.”
Old Yard smiled and left, closing the door for Stella.
Stella swept her eyes across the presidential suite of the six-star hotel.
There were three rooms, a living room, and a hanging garden.
One room was a bedroom, one was a bathroom, and the other was a gymnasium with equipment inside.
There was no bed in the living room. There was a large sofa, and opposite the sofa was a 72-inch high-definition television.
Next to the television, there was a speaker and a player that could directly be used to play a song.
Behind the sofa was a wine cabinet, which was filled with a lot of branded wine.
The flowers in the room were picked that morning and looked very fresh.
In the bedroom, there was a computer, and on the bedside table, there were some family-planning supplies.
There was a massive wardrobe adjacent to the table.
Only then did she realize that the bedroom and the bathroom were connected.
The bathtub was huge, about two meters by two meters. It was a spa bathtub equipped with a jacuzzi.
The cosmetics on the shelf were all Chanel branded.
Usual luxurious products turned into basic products for daily use here.
She took off her clothes, entered the bathtub, and selected the misty bath and jacuzzi mode.
The water vapor quickly filled the bathtub, and she was drowned in the mist.
The water column spraying and massaging her body felt very comfortable.
Stella now understood why those rich people liked to stay in the presidential suite in a six-star hotel.
It was indeed a luxurious enjoyment.
From the way the Discipline Inspection Institution in Sun City treated her, she felt that there was a big problem with this institution.
Stella closed her eyes. In a daze, she heard the sound of the door closing and opened her eyes.
The bathroom door was pushed open.
Jasper looked at her in the bathtub and was slightly shocked. His eyes were brooding and moved like waves. He looked at her and said uncertainly, “Stella.”
Stella was also startled. “Jasper, why are you here?”
