The misunderstandings and conflicts of the past seemed to fade away in this moment.


    They were just an ordinary couple, and he cherished the tranquility they shared.


    After Ste finished speaking, Matthew reassured her, “Don’t be too anxious.


    You’ve already designed a dress for Mrs.


    Burke, and she publicly praised your work.


    Mia also recognizes your talent, so have confidence in your abilities.


    ”


    Ste looked down, lost in thought.


    Matthew was about to say something more.


    However, his attention was diverted when someone tapped him on the shoulder.


    Frowning, he turned around to find Leslie Agur, Mateo’s daughter.


    Quickly, he lowered the phone to prevent her from appearing on the screen.

    “No, thank you,” Matthew declined abruptly.


    “I’m on a call.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Is there something you need?”


    Leslie disregarded his refusal and persisted.


    “I’ll leave the milk in the living room.


    Please remember to drink it when you’re finished with your call.


    ”


    With that, she turned and entered the room.


    Matthew, appearing uninterested, shifted his attention back to the phone, but Ste’s face was no longer on the screen.


    “I heard a girl’s voice just now.


    Who was that?” Ste’s voice carried a note of discontent.


    Matthew pondered for a moment and replied vaguely, “She’s a client’s daughter.


    ”


    “Thene back soon.


    I need to work on the sketch,” Ste muttered in a subdued tone before abruptly ending the call.


    As Ste was about to put her phone away, a message from Matthew appeared on the screen.


    “I’ve returned to the hotel.


    I’lle back to be with you as soon as possible.


    ”


    After reading the message, Ste hesitated for a few seconds and simply replied with a “good night.


    ” She then activated the “Do Not Disturb” mode on her phone and went to bed.


    The next day arrived.


    Ste, apanied by Kay, the assistant provided by Blue me, made their way to the Seamarsh Theater, which was set to host various shows.


    The venue had already been beautifully decorated, and Ste hoped to draw inspiration from the surroundings.


    Upon reaching the theater, Ste and Kay engaged in conversation while making their way inside, oblivious to the fact that a ck car had been tailing them throughout their journey.
