Kylie walked out of the ladies' room and decided to carry out their plan.

She would pretend that she was having a stomach ache because her period came, and she must go back to the hotel to rest.

​​

However, the assistant director concealed the meal first, "Kylie, I'm so sorry. I just took an old friend's call, and I gotta go now."

"Oh, it's fine." Kylie felt happy but didn't show it on her face. "We can dine together the next time."

"Sure." The assistant director glanced at the exit, then looked at Kylie. "Let me arrange for a taxi to seed you to the hotel."

"Please don't bother. Lucas can deal with it," Kylie said at once.

"Great, then see you tomorrow!" the assistant director said, then turned to Faith. "Faith, take good care of Kylie, and keep a low profile here."

"Sure, we will," Faith said and waved her hand to the assistant director to say good-bye.

The moment they left the airport, Kylie took a long breath in.

"Wow, it's my first time being abroad!"

Faith smiled, "Are you hungry now?" "I do. I'm starving!" Kylie said.

Lucas pushed the suitcases, following them up. "Let's go check-in at the hotel Lord Ethan has booked for us first, then we can go for a big meal!"

"Hooray!" Kylie and Faith shouted with happiness.

In fact, Ethan had booked the Cecil family's hotel for them.

***

In the Empire Hotel.

No matter what had happened between them, it was always safe to stay in a familiar person's place.

Therefore, once Kylie checked in, Stephen, who was on the other side of the earth, saw her information.

Kylie put down her baggage, and the inside line in the room rang. She thought it was a call from the reception.

"Hi!"

A man laughed in a low voice on the phone.

Kylie was struck dumb.

"Excuse me, what's so funny?" Kylie said.

"Welcome to stay in our hotel, Kylie," Stephen said in his gentle voice.

"Star?" Kylie recognized his voice at once. "How do you know I'm here?"

"Ha-ha." Stephen laughed again. "Don't forget, I'm taking over my family business now. Feel free to let me know if you need anything."

Kylie jumped to the big bed, then smiled and said, "Tell me, did you give Ethan a discount?"

"Do you think Ethan needs to pay to stay in my family's hotel?"

"What?" Kylie was surprised. "You didn't charge him at all?"

Stephen smiled. "I did, and he even paid much more than the market price."

Ethan also had replaced everything in the room in order to let Kylie stay in a comfortable and familiar place.

Kylie pouted and complained, "Why couldn't he save some money?"

"All he has is money," Stephen said. "Do you need anything else? You can have them for free."

"Really?" Kylie's eyes lit up.

"Sure."

"I need two more rooms," Kylie said. "One for my agent and the other for my assistant. They've never stayed in such a luxurious hotel before."

"It seems Ethan will go there to stay with you."

"Um...." Kylie flushed.

"Ha-ha, to be honest with you, Ethan already arranged two rooms for them," Stephen said.

Kylie felt a little embarrassed. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I just want to see your reaction," Stephen said. "Text me if you need anything. I'll tell them to serve you."

"Thanks." Kylie hung up the phone, then told Faith and Lucas what she just had talked with Stephen on the phone, and both of them were amused.

However, when Stephen put down his phone, the smile gradually disappeared from his face. Even his eyes looked so cold now.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door.

"Mr. Cecil?"

"Come in." Stephen wore a serious face again.

His secretary pushed the door open and asked him with great respect, "A lady called Dinah wants to see you, and she claims to be your wife."

Stephen frowned, and said in a cold voice, "Tell her I'm in a meeting, and I don't have time to see her."

"But..." when the secretary was about to say something again, Stephen gave her a cold glance.

"Sure, sure, I'll tell her to leave right now."

The door of this office room was closed.

Stephen leaned deeply against the back of the leather chair. He pinched the middle of his eyebrows and heard the noisy argument at the outside of the door.

The next second, the door was pushed open again with violence.

"How long are you going to hide away from me?" Dinah stood at the door with her hand holding her waist.

Stephen's sight moved down from her face and neck, then to her stomach.

She was wearing loose maternity clothing, and her waist was as thick as a bucket.

In addition, her belly looked so large.

His secretary explained in a hurry seeing Stephen being so displeased. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Cecil. This miss is about to give birth, so I didn't dare stop her..."

"She is about to give birth?" Stephen said word by word.

His secretary nodded, then turned around to see Dinah's belly. There must be twins in there or at least a baby of eight months.

However, she was astonished the next second.

Seeing Stephen staring straight at her stomach, Dinah laughed and drew out a pillow from her skirt.

"Relax! I didn't cheat on you." Saying that she patted on her belly and said, "It's still empty inside. When will you give me a baby?"

Hearing that, Stephen's secretary flushed red at once.

She didn't dare look at her boss at all now.

Stephen pulled his lips. "You've learned how to act after staying with Kylie for a couple of days."

Dinah threw the pillow to the secretary, then walked to Stephen and sat on his legs without hesitation. "You're so busy, and I can't see you if I don't do that."

Stephen's secretary was shocked again, seeing the scene. She wondered what the relationship was between the woman called Dinah and her boss.
