“Stella?” Flossie shook her head.
“No, I was actually searching for her myself. She promised to help me with my hairstyle early today.”
Matthew’s expression darkened.
Sensing his worry, Flossie asked, “Is something wrong?”
Ignoring the question, Matthew simply instructed, “Go to the backstage area and keep an eye out for her. Call me as soon as you see Stella.”
Matthew then proceeded to dial Stella’s number as he made his way to the elevator.
The elevator stopped at this floor.
Just as he was about to step in, he noticed Miley already inside.
“Mr. Clark?” Miley asked, surprised.
Matthew lowered his phone, getting straight to the point.
“Where is Stella? Didn’t she come with you?”

Puzzled, Miley responded, “Isn’t Stella already here?”
Matthew furrowed his brow and inquired in a deep, serious tone, “What are you trying to say?”
Seeing his grave expression, Miley felt a sense of confusion, but she proceeded to speak honestly.
“I didn’t see Stella after I parked my car. I tried calling her, but I couldn’t reach her, so I thought she was here already. Isn’t she?”
“No.” Upon sharing this information, Matthew promptly headed to the hotel’s surveillance room.
Miley followed him immediately.

In the monitoring room, the staff promptly provided Matthew with today’s surveillance footage in response to his request.
The surveillance video consisted of only one segment. It showed Stella entering the elevator and ascending to the third floor, after which the footage abruptly cut off.
Matthew raised his voice.
“What’s wrong?”
“Well…” The staff acted quickly, operating the equipment and conducting a thorough check. Ultimately, they provided an evasive response.
“I apologize, Mr. Clark. It appears there might be an issue with the circuit. I’ll have someone attend to it immediately.”
Matthew’s countenance remained icy, but he wasn’t inclined to cast blame at that moment. He turned on his heel and left the monitoring room.
