The messages he saw next not only surprised him, but made him angrier. He gripped his phone so tight that he almost crushed it.
Was that anger he sensed? She was angry?
After cheating on him, she still had the guts to get mad?
Heat ignited in Matthew’s veins. He took off his tie completely and threw it aside. Then, he undid the first two buttons of his shirt.
Only then did he feel a little relieved.
Matthew dialed his lawyer’s number as a bead of sweat trickled down his temple.
With a livid face, he said coldly, “I can’t make it to the meeting tonight. As my attorney, you are free to represent me. ALL you need to do is get that woman to sign the papers.”
In the meeting room, Fernando and Stella were seated at a large table.
“This year’s edition of the fur fashion show held by our branch in Highwyn is fast approaching. However, some animal rights activists have strongly kicked against it. They are threatening to disrupt the show,” said Fernando, handing some documents to Stella.
Stella lowered her head and looked through them.
Fernando added, “Mr. Clark said you have done a great job solving several crises, so he wants us to go down to Highwyn to deal with this issue and also see to it that the show holds as scheduled.”
Stella nodded, his words imprinting in her mind.

When she was done reading the documents, she raised her head and asked, “When do we leave?”
Fernando raised his hand and looked at his watch.
“Time is not on our side. We leave this evening, so I’d advise that you go home now and pack up your stuff.”
“Okay,” said Stella.
With her mind set on the task at hand, she completely forgot that she had an appointment already slated for this evening.
At dusk, Stella appeared at Seamarsh Airport on time.
She went to the section where she was supposed to meet with Fernando.
To her surprise, she saw a familiar figure standing beside Fernando in a distance.
Stella squinted to make sure her eyes weren’t playing tricks on her.
Why was Matthew here?
Stella felt her heartbeat increase a little. She looked away and continued walking while dragging her suitcase along.
Matthew was wearing a black suit that was well-cut and fitting. He also had on shiny Italian shoes.
