Chapter 209
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 209<\/p>\n
Stella had always known that in George’s eyes, Seraphina deserved first pick of everything good in the world.<\/p>\n
But she never expected George to demand that *she* prioritize Seraphina, too!<\/p>\n
“If it breaks your heart so much that she didn’t get an invitation, then use your own connections to secure one for her! Don’t try to force me into giving up my spot!”<\/p>\n
Unable to suppress her disgust any longer, Stella fired back. “You’re trying to emotionally blackmail me, and it won’t work. I am never giving up that spot, so drop it!”<\/p>\n
“You!”<\/p>\n
Furious, George slammed his hand on the desk, fully prepared to explode. But knowing how incredibly stubborn Stella was, he forced himself to swallow his temper.<\/p>\n
He shifted tactics. “I’m not asking you to do this for free! You’ve been wanting to replace SD’s old manufacturing equipment, haven’t you? If you agree to transfer the spot to Seraphina, I’ll personally authorize the funds for the new equipment and throw in an extra budget for your marketing!”<\/p>\n
Stella froze, genuinely stunned.<\/p>\n
To think George was willing to bleed that much capital just for Seraphina’s sake!<\/p>\n
There were moments when Stella seriously questioned if Seraphina was his only biological child.<\/p>\n
“Stella, the deal I’m offering is incredibly generous. Going to that expo is a total gamble for you, but this budget is guaranteed cash in hand right now.”<\/p>\n
George put on a sickeningly patronizing tone. “I’m doing this for your own good.”<\/p>\n
*For her own good.* What a joke.<\/p>\n
A cold scoff escaped Stella’s lips. Drained of any energy to argue further, she didn’t even bother giving George a response. She simply turned on her heel and headed for the door.<\/p>\n
“I’m giving you two days to think it over! After that, the offer is off the table!” George barked angrily at her retreating back.<\/p>\n
Stepping out of the corporate building, a harsh gust of wind hit her, making a sudden, bone-deep chill wash over her body.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3497","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
