He made certain she wasn’t feigning surprise.
“Could you inquire why Stella wants to divorce?”
Miley declined flatly.
“That’s Stella’s private matter. Whatever choice she makes, she has my support.”
Neville appeared taken aback, not anticipating her resolute stance.
After pondering a moment, he continued, “Maverick values this marriage and wants to salvage it. Both you and I want our friends to be happy. Should you reconsider, reach out to me.”
As he spoke, Neville handed Miley his business card.
“Here’s how you can reach me. Call anytime.”
Miley glanced at the card, intrigued to find Neville was an entertainment company president.
Collaborating with his firm could resolve her company’s urgent issue.
However, as soon as the thought crossed her mind, she dismissed it.
She couldn’t betray Stella’s trust for such a reason.
She’d need to gauge Stella’s sentiments before deciding.
Taking the business card, Miley responded nonchalantly, “I’ll take some time to think it over.”
“That’s fine.” Neville, sensing her potential agreement, felt relieved.

As soon as Miley got back home, she headed straight for Stella’s room, eager to share the events of her evening.
Yet, when she opened the door, Stella was nowhere to be found.
Just as she was about to call out for Stella, she noticed a dim light emanating from the study.
Setting her phone aside, she moved to the study and began to say, “Stella…”
Before she could complete her sentence, she saw Stella asleep at her desk, a pen still clutched in her hand.
Tip-toeing to Stella’s side, Miley felt a pang of guilt.
So consumed by her company’s ongoing issues, she hadn’t notice Stella’s emotional state.
She had been unaware of Stella’s pending divorce from Maverick until someone else had filled her in.
