With a change of clothes, Miley emerged from her room with a smile and approached Stella.
“Stella, you did an amazing job with the performance. Later, I’ll instruct the financial department to transfer your earnings to your account.”
Stella pocketed her phone, shaking her head.
“No need, Miley.”
Miley was about to insist but noticed something amiss in Stella’s expression.
Concern etched her features as she inquired, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell, or did something happen?”
Stella hesitated for a moment before deciding to confide in Miley.
“Maverick just messaged me, saying he wants to discuss our divorce.

Miley’s worry began to ease, and she reassured Stella, “That’s a good thing. You’ve been postponing this for far too long. It’s for the best that you both move on.”
Stella nodded thoughtfully, pondering the conversation she’d have with Maverick later.
Miley placed a comforting hand on Stella’s shoulder.

Charlene’s assistant, Luis, followed her here when his survival in Seamarsh was no longer tenable.
He presented Charlene with a document, saying, “Ma’am, here is the information you requested.”
Charlene accepted the document, perusing it with increasing consternation.
The contents grew progressively worse, and she was practically seething by the time she reached the final page. In her anger, she flung the document onto the table, causing her coffee cup to tumble and shatter on the floor.
Startled by the noise, Jeremy approached and found Luis trembling and Charlene enraged. He inquired, “What happened?”
Charlene, her arms crossed, responded in an irate tone, “I severely underestimated Stella.”
