At the KS World Hotel, Be reviewed the proposal in her office,


    taking the nning of Celeste’s birthday party more seriously than


    Ada’s wedding.


    Her dedication before was because Ada was an important business


    partner, but hermitment now is to Celeste, who is her family.


    “You have pulled all-nighters for three nights straight, Ms. Be. Take a break.” Steven served Be a ss of orange juice, hoping to stop.


    her from taking another cup of coffee.


    “I can’t stop. I have everything sorted for the venue, but I still have a


    lot to do for Aunt Celeste’s dress.” Be put down the document and


    kneaded between her brows.


    The women around Be’s age would go on a shopping trip with their


    best friends, travel the world, or be swept head over heels in romance.


    However, Be spent her days dwelling on paperwork, boring


    numbers, and leading her hotel’s staff to improve sales.


    Be was tough, but she was only human. She would feel tired too.


    “Organize my ride to Roza’s studioter,” Be said.


    “Are you still going to make a dress for Celeste?”


    “Yeah. If I work around the clock, I won’t have enough time.”


    Steven sighed as his heart went out to her.


    His phone buzzed.


    Asher sent Steven a text message with a guest list for Celeste’s


    birthday celebration. He told Steven to forward the list to Be.


    Steven tapped on the attachment and flinched at James Iverson’s


    name.


    He saw red as his mind brought him to when James threw money at


    him, and his woman with excessive makeup insulted Amelia.


    “Is there a problem with the list, Steve? What’s with the expression on


    your face?” Be caught the strange look on his face.


    “There’s something I should inform you about, Ms. Be.”


    Steven then let Be know about the incident when he dropped


    Amelia back at school.


    He left out the part about James’ insulting act.


    Steven wanted to fix the problem for Amelia, but on second thought,


    the woman was James’ lover, so the issue was not as


    straightforward.


    He was only a secretary and was way out of his depth to protect


    Amelia.


    Besides, the woman was a student at the same school as Amelia, so


    that was not her first rodeo. Steven had spread himself too thin as it


    was, and he could not be by Amelia’s side all the time. He needed


    Be’s help to stick up for Amelia.


    Be frowned, her eyes narrowing dangerously.


    “She’s just James’ lover, yet she dares to mess with my sister.”


    Livid, Be pounded the table. “The bitch needs a beating for messing with my sister.”


    Steven chuckled.


    “The bitch thinks she’s all that because she’s with James. That


    doesn’t give her the right to do whatever she pleases.”


    Be’s eyes flickered with a chilling glint. “Hmph! I bet she will plead with my sister in tears for forgiveness when she finds out that the Thompson family and the KS Group have Amelia’s back. Well, let’sExclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    see if James wille to her defense then.”


    “Are you nning to deal with the woman?” Steven asked probingly.


    “Ha. She’s not worth my time.”


    Be picked up the ss and drank the juice with grace. “The


    responsibility falls on James because that’s his woman.”


    “But Ms. Be, Mr. James doesn’t know his lover is involved in an


    altercation with Ms. Amelia. If he knew-”


    Be scowled. “I don’t care. I am protective of my people, and there’s


    no talking me out of it.


    “It doesn’t matter to me that he didn’t know.”


    —


    That evening, Be drove a Bugatti La Voiture Noire to Roza’s work


    studio without Steven.
