His heart clenched when he remembered what she had texted.
Once he was certain that she was okay, he walked back to the bodyguard and ordered, “Call Miley to get her.”
After two minutes, Miley finally arrived. She opened the car door to find Stella alone.
“Where the hell is Maverick? He didn’t even bother coming?”
“He had urgent business to attend to,” the bodyguard said respectfully.
Miley was pissed. She nudged Stella lightly.
“Come on, Stella, we’ve got to go.”
Stella stirred in her sleep.
“I was bullied, Maverick…”
The next day, it was past nine when Stella finally woke up.
She checked the time and rushed out of bed. How could she sleep this late? She hurriedly changed clothes and ran downstairs.
Miley sat at the table eating breakfast. She noticed Stella running around from the corner of her eye.
“Slow down, or you’ll fall. We can’t win the competition without our chief designer.”
Stella looked at her frantically.
“I’m so late! Why didn’t you wake me?”
Miley just shrugged, an unbothered look on her face.

“I tried to, but you didn’t wake up. And what’s the big deal if you take half a day off?”
Stella watched Miley eat helplessly.
“And last night? What happened?
Who picked me up? I don’t remember how I came back.”
She had a vague memory of Maverick’s bodyguards.
Miley sent her a sharp glare.
“You dare to ask about last night after being so careless? Do you know how dangerous that was? Being alone outside while drunk?”
Stella was aware of her carelessness. She remained silent, letting Miley scold her like a child.
