Since Ste’s arrival, she had monopolized Leo’s attention.


    Now, with Ste being married, N’s fears of losing Leo were ayed.


    Breathing a sigh of relief, N suggested, “Ste, perhaps you could invite your husband over.


    It would be delightful to include him in our gathering.


    ”


    N was convinced that Leo’s lingering thoughts about Ste would dissipate once he witnessed her marital status.


    Ste, however, declined politely.


    “I appreciate the offer, but I have priormitments.


    ”


    Turning to Keith, she added, “There’s a party awaiting my presence downstairs.


    I must excuse myself, but I promise to visit again when time permits.


    ”


    “Are you leaving so soon?” Keith’s reluctance was evident, but he respected her time.


    “Could I perhaps have your number? It would be wonderful to reconnect at a more opportune moment.


    ”


    After exchanging numbers, Ste departed, leaving Keith looking on.


    Throughout the exchange, Leo remained silent, his gaze fixated on Ste.


    Even after she vanished behind the closed door, his eyes lingered, lost in thought.


    Unable to bear his apparent distraction, N coughed pointedly, snapping Leo back to reality.


    He casually sipped his wine, a subtle smile ying on his Lips.


    As he reflected on his extended stay in Seamarsh, a thought crossed his mind.


    There would be ample opportunities to meet Ste again.


    As Leo’s grip on his ss tightened, his thoughts were preupied with the identity of the man fortunate enough to marry Ste.


    The knowledge of her marital status was a bitter pill to swallow, stirring a mix of curiosity and concealed disappointment within him.


    Back in the private box, Ste’s train of thought was interrupted by a sudden recollection.


    Besty had been about to share something earlier, only to be cut off by N’s interjection.


    Curious, Ste turned towards Besty with an inquiring look.


    “Besty, you were about to tell me something earlier.


    What was it?”


    Besty, initially struggling to find her words, quickly gathered her thoughts at Ste’s prompting.


    “Ste, there’s a favor I need to ask of you.

    “What do you need?”


    After a fleeting nce at Felipe, Besty’s hesitation gave way to a slow, deliberate request.


    “It’s not a major issue.


    My husband recently interviewed at Prosperity Group but wasn’t sessful.


    I was wondering if you could possibly secure a position for him there?”


    Noticing Ste’s slight frown, Besty hurriedly assured her, “Please, don’t worry.


    Felipe is a dependable and honest man.


    He won’t cause you any trouble.


    ”


    Ste found herself in a quandary.


    She was reluctant to impose on Matthew, yet the thought of disappointing Besty, who had always been a supportive friend during her school days, weighed heavily on her.


    After a moment’s consideration, Ste acquiesced, “I’ll inquire about any avable positions at Prosperity Group that might suit him.


    ”


    Besty’s face lit up with gratitude.


    “Thank you so much, Ste.


    This means a lot.


    ”


    Felipe, equally ted, raised his ss in tribute.


    “To Ste, a heartfelt thank you for your generosity.


    ”


    Ste offered a slight nod and reciprocated the toast.
