Stella held Miley up as she opened the car door, helping her get in.
When Stella raised a water bottle to her lips, Miley drank to her fill before pushing Stella’s hand away and leaning back in her seat with her eyes closed. She felt a bit less drunk now.
Stella screwed the lid of the bottle back on as she stared at Miley’s pathetic state, feeling sorry for her.
She removed the hair strands that were stuck to Miley’s lips.
“Miley, why were you drinking with those men?”
Miley turned to face Stella, seeing the worried look on her face.

A few seconds of silence went by before Miley answered, “My company is falling apart. I can’t tell my parents about it. They’re all the way abroad, and I don’t want to worry them.”
“I thought everything was going great!” Stella was shocked.
“What happened? And why didn’t you just come to me?”
She remembered how Miley had taken care of her at the hospital every day after her accident. Meanwhile, she had no idea that her friend was suffering. Stella felt horrible.
Miley answered, “It all started when Linda refused to renew her contract after it expired. She wanted to pursue her studies overseas.
And basically all the company’s partners think highly of Linda and her ability. After she left, the rest began to leave slowly. And it’s not like the company makes so much money.”
A small bitter smile formed on her face as she said the last part.
“So I tried to see if I could get any form of investment out of those men.”
Stella could feel her heart break into a million tiny pieces.

She pulled Miley into a tight hug.
“Why were you suffering alone?
What are friends for? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“How could I drag you into it? It’s not like you’ve had it so great either. You’ve been going through stuff of your own. Besides, it wouldn’t have been good for your health.”
Stella broke the hug and looked at Miley straight in the eye.
“I promise you, I’m going to find a way to help no matter what.”
As if on cue, the driver’s door opened.
Matthew got in the car. He closed the door behind him and looked at them through the rearview mirror.
Stella and Miley were holding hands and topped talking.
