“Mr. Clark has been occupied with numerous tasks recently. He’s been staying in his office. Shall we go?” Fernando did not leave room for refusal and led the way.
Stella, with no other immediate plans, followed him.
Once inside the car, Stella leaned back in the seat, her fatigue evident.
Today had been an eventful and exhausting day.
Stella closed her eyes, hoping to catch a moment of respite. However, her tranquility was interrupted by the ringing of her phone.
She reached for her phone and noticed it was Clint calling.
Surprised, she quickly answered it.
A tone of complaint colored Clint’s voice on the other end.
“Stella, what were you doing today? I called you multiple times, but you didn’t answer.”
Stella explained softly, “I had a busy day today, and my phone was on silent. I didn’t hear your calls. Grandpa, is there something urgent?”
“It’s been several days since you last called me. I’ve been worried about you.” The deep timbre of Clint’s voice was comforting to Stella.
“Don’t overexert yourself with work. If you feel tired, come back to Bysea.”
Stella glanced at Fernando, who was focused on driving, and lowered her voice.
“I’m not tired. In fact, I received a bonus from my boss, a substantial amount. I can buy anything you need.”

After a few more exchanges, Stella reassured Clint to take care of himself and hung up.

She stowed her phone away and leaned against the window, gazing at the city’s night scenery flashing by.
Every conversation with Clint tugged at her heartstrings, a constant reminder of his ill health and her inability to be there for him.
Observing Stella’s solemn expression in the rearview mirror, Fernando appeared deep in thought.
After her departure from Prosperity Group, Kaia drove straight to Charlene’s residence.
It was late, and Charlene was displeased with Kaia’s abrupt visit.
“Why are you here so late and in such a rush? What if someone saw you?” Charlene scolded her, clearly in no mood for unannounced visits.
Kaia was too incensed to consider Charlene’s scolding.
She flung her bag onto the sofa and seated herself, recounting the events of the day in exasperation.
