"I must say congratulations to you Ms. Stella. I didn't actually expect that you'd be able to run the entire business empire of the Levinson's this successfully when I first heard about you taking over the company. "One should definitely not judge a book by its cover or a parcel by its packing, right? And I apologise to you for thinking that a girl like you wouldn't be able to manage it."
After hearing his words, Stella couldn't stop herself from scoffing, not bothering herself to be discreet about it. "If that's the case, then I think apologies are in order." She added with a smirk. "I am sorry for not living up to your expectations, Mr. Taylor."
Seeing her take a jab at him, he let out a chuckle. "I didn't mean it like that, Ms. Stella." He raised his hands up in the air in a protective stance, showing her his palms. "I apologise to you if you think that I meant it in a bad way."
