At this rate, she was convinced she would end up blacklisting every nurse's number in the hospital.
"Find out where she is right now," she snapped, furning- Jonathan answered stiffly. "She's on the 26th floor of Tower One, Oriental Grand Tower." That, at least, he had managed to confirm But his expression was not any better. His assistant had just called with troubling news. The companies they tried to sway into cutting ties with Stella had all rejected the idea.
Almost like they were afraid of something. And when asked for more details, the other side would not say anything.

That unyielding, domineering tone. It was exactly like Stella's.
When Susan heard this, she could no longer sit still. "So none of them are willing to cut ties with her?” Jonathan's face darkened further.
And then, Lilian, who had been silent ever since waking up, suddenly spoke. "How exactly did she get those deals?" The moment the question left her lips. Susan and Jonathan locked eyes. Both sensing the sstorm brewing in the distance.

Meanwhile, Stella was still dealing with calls. Luckily, none of them were from Susan or Ethan. Otherwise, she would really start considering tossing her phone into the sea.
Right after she hung up, Tessa called. "Let's have broth tonight!" Stella sighed, "Can't." "Oh? You're already being watched?" Tessa immediately picked up on it. Truly, someone who cared about her would always know.

Abraham called, his voice low, "Are you done for the day? Stella sounded sulky. “Yeah. Just have the driver takeback to Seaflats Cove." Abraham was surprised at her change of plan. "Not meeting your friend?" "We wanted broth. Is that okay?" Stella's mood was down "No" His refusal was instant and absolute.

"Boss! Lethelp you!" She rushed over, rescued the bag from Stella's clutches, and began packing things in carefully, treating the bag like fragile treasure. It was an expensive piece, after all. Even a tiny scratch would hurt its value.
Stella frowned. "Why are you being so careful?"
Kimmy replied helplessly. "This material's really delicate. Why don't you just use ajanvas tote next time? You can toss that around all you want." At least then she would not have to watch in horror.
