Inside the bustling offices of Prosperity Group, Fernando was in the midst of briefing Matthew on a recent hup in their operations.


    “We had ns to import medical equipment from Sothrea, but our partner has abruptly decided to reconsider,” Fernando exined, his voice tinged with concern.


    “Apparently, someone has offered a higher bid, though we’re still in the dark about who the buyer might be.


    We haven’t been able to confirm the uracy of this information, but we urgently need this equipment.


    What should we do, Mr.


    rk?”


    Matthew’s brow furrowed in thought.


    “Book the air ticket.


    I’ll handle this in Sothrea myself.


    ”


    Fernando paused, hesitating before he spoke again.


    “This partner has always been a bit peculiar, preferring only onlinemunications previously.


    Plus, they only agreed to coborate with us this time because they knew Lindsay’s mentor.


    Should we consider bringing her along?”


    As Ste pushed open the door and entered, the mention of Lindsay’s name caught her attention.


    Ste caught sight of Fernando clutching a document.


    As she noticed both Fernando and Matthew staring at her, she modestly lowered her gaze and apologized, “I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you were in the middle of something work-rted.


    I’ll step out now.


    ”


    With those words, she began to retreat, ready to close the door behind her.


    Matthew quickly intervened.


    “No need to leave.


    We’ve just finished up here.


    ”


    He then turned to Fernando, instructing, “Please let Lindsay know to join us in the business trip to Sothrea in three days.


    ”


    “Understood,” Fernando responded, closing the file before exiting the room.

    Now alone with Ste in the expansive office, Matthew took a moment to rify.


    “We’re facing someplications with a project we agreed on.


    Lindsay has been overseeing it.


    Changing our point person now could really set us back.


    ”


    He wanted to make sure Ste understood the reason for involving Lindsay.


    Ste offered him a reassuring smile.


    “I get it.


    No need to be so worried.


    While I’m not Lindsay’s biggest fan, I know how to keep our personal issues out of the business.


    Just be careful.


    ”


    Matthew assured her, “Don’t worry.


    ”


    Then, drawing closer, he wrapped his arms around her and asked, “What brings you to the office so unexpectedly?”


    Ste reached up and looped her arms around his neck.


    “Miley mentioned that Neville’s buddy owns a resort and he’s invited us to rx there.


    It sounded like a good change of pace, so I said yes.


    ”


    She paused, recalling Fernando’s earlierments.Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    With a note of hesitation, she added, “But if you’re buried in work, I can always postpone it.


    We can head out there when you’re less busy.


    ”


    Matthew pondered for a moment before replying, “No, I’ll make it work.


    I’ll join you right before my business trip.


    ”


    He then picked up the internal phone and asked Fernando to get a car ready.


    That evening, when Ste and Matthew arrived at the resort and got out of their car, Miley and Neville also reached there.


    Miley burst out of her car and immediately embraced Ste.


    Surprised, Ste stepped back momentarily before melting into the hug.


    Miley squeezed Ste’s waist gently and Looked at her with concern.


    “It’s been a long time! You look thinner, though.


    Has Mr.


    rk deprived you of your meals?”
