Once inside the private room, Matthew summoned a waiter to place their orders.
After the waiter retreated, silence enveloped the space.
Matthew, occupying the main seat, his expression forlorn.
He surveyed the room with an icy stare.
“Listen up, we’re putting the Fairwa project on hold for a few days.”
The decision met with a series of understanding nods.
Everyone knew that resolving the current crisis took precedence over project timelines.
“Alex had previously secured this project through illicit means. To think he’d be the cause of such a catastrophe,” lamented the project manager, seizing the rare opportunity to unburden his frustrations in Matthew’s presence.
Matthew’s expression darkened as he fixed his gaze on the project manager.

“Alex’s audacity largely stems from his backer. This patron happens to be a local strongman in Bysea…” The project manager hesitated, his voice tinged with apprehension.
“Stevie Craig.”
Matthew’s frown deepened, but he remained silent.
The others chimed in, “Stevie’s indulgence has only made Alex and his underlings more arrogant. Their sole focus is profiteering from this project.”
“He’s put us all in jeopardy. If the project falls through because of this mess, all our recent efforts will have been for nothing.”
With steely conviction, Matthew reassured them, “Don’t worry, I’ve got this under control. However, I’ll need your cooperation to stabilize the situation. If anything changes, inform Fernando immediately.”
His words alleviated their concerns.

Just then, a knock on the door signaled the waiter’s entrance. He served the dishes and poured a glass of red wine for everyone.
The project manager raised his glass, offering a toast to Matthew, who politely sipped the wine in response.
Stella didn’t leave the ward until Clint had fallen asleep.
The moment she stepped into the elevator, her phone buzzed.
Expecting a message from Matthew, she eagerly retrieved her phone, only to find a friend request on Twitter.
Though Stella was certain she didn’t know this individual, she accepted the request to avoid missing any important news.
