The call connected promptly, and Orion’s voice came through. “Mr. Clark, we’re still on the way.”
Without hesitation, Matthew instructed, “A snowstorm is coming. Bring Flossie back immediately.”
With the assurance that Flossie and Orion were safe, Stella breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Orion ended the call and relayed the situation to Flossie.
“Mr. Clark wants us to head back to the resort first. He’ll arrange your return once the weather conditions improve.”
Though Flossie was eager to return home, her concern for safety outweighed her urgency.
Beyond the windowpane, darkness had already descended, obscuring her vision. Flossie quickly agreed, “Okay, let’s head back.”
Orion maneuvered the car, informing Flossie of Stella’s concern for her well-being. “Mrs. Clark tried to reach you earlier but couldn’t get through. Is your phone off?”
Upon hearing this, Flossie retrieved her phone and inspected it. “It was accidentally on flight mode.”

She turned off the flight mode and was about to dial Stella’s number when Benny’s call intercepted hers.
Flossie’s face lit up with a smile, eager to pick up the call.
“Why haven’t you returned yet?” Benny’s voice remained as icy as ever.
Flossie explained, “I was just about to head back, but I received a snowstorm warning. Stella was concerned about the potential danger of descending the mountain in the storm, so she insisted I return to the resort first. It’s possible I won’t make it back tonight.”
Suddenly, the car rolled out of control. It collided with something, causing it to jolt violently a few times.
Flossie was startled, unable to suppress a cry of alarm.
“Flossie? What’s going on?” Benny asked, his tone tinged with anxiety.

After the car steadied itself, Flossie raised her phone to her ear, saying, “Benny…”
“Send me your location right away!” Benny demanded urgently.
The impending snowstorm cast an evident shadow over the sky, darkening it by several degrees.
Sensing Benny’s concern, Flossie reassured him, “I’m alright. I’m heading to meet Stella soon. Mr. Clark has arranged for a bodyguard to escort me. I’ll be safe. Please, don’t come here.”
With that, she swiftly ended the call.
Following the phone call, Orion elucidated the cause of the sudden jolt.
In a trembling voice, he confessed, “Miss, I apologize. I’ve never driven in such extreme weather conditions before. Sorry for frightening you like that.”
Flossie shook her head, casting a compassionate glance at Orion.
