Clark, when would be a good tfor you to cby and sign the contract? Fernando asked.
Stella paused for a moment, thinking it over.
How about this afternoon? If that works for you, maybe you could swing by my studio? Fernando, on the other end of the line, deliberately sounded troubled as he said, This might be a bit difficult.
Mr.
Clarks schedule is packed with meetings these days, and I need to assist him here.
If you can wait, I can deliver the contract to your stuonce hes done, but I cant guarantee an exact tright now.
Stella hesitated for a few moments.
Thinking it would be better to sign the contract sooner rather than later, she replied, Then ILL go to Prosperity Group.

Caught off guard, Doreen stood awkwardly, her face flushed as she explained, Dexter, I.. I was just too hasty earlier and accidentally grabbed your hand.
Im sorry.
Her heart pounded wildly.
The brief contact had left her palm slightly sweaty, and a mix of nervousness and sweetness lingered, leaving her at a loss.
Dexter glanced at her coldly and said, Lead the way to the restaurant.
Without waiting for a response, he started walking ahead, seemingly unaware of Doreens feelings.
Doreen, wearing high heels, hurried to catch up.
This was her chance to be alone with Dexter, and she wanted to talk to him more.
Distracted by her thoughts, she failed to pay attention to the uneven path.
Suddenly, she twisted her ankle and fell forward, crying out in pain, Ouch! Dexter had already put sdistance between them.
Hearing her cry, he looked back with a frown, only to see Doreen crouching on the ground, rubbing her ankle. He made no move to help her.
After a moment, he said indifferently, Tellthe restaurant address.
You should take care of your ankle first.
Ill go ahead.
No need, Im fine, Doreen quickly refused, trying to stand despite the pain.
I just sprained it a little because I was rushing.
Its nothing.
Doreen gritted her teeth and forced herself to take a few steps, determined to prove she was fine.
But with each step, a sharp pain shot through her ankle, like needles mercilessly stabbing her with every movement.

Dexters frown deepened as he watched her futile effort.
With a sigh, he walked over to her, his tone firm but calm as he said, Stop being stubborn.
Im taking you to the hospital. A surge of unexpected joy warmed Doreen at his She concern, but the thought of Stellas lunch quickly dampened her excitement. Just as she was about to protest, her phone buzzed.
Stellas voice cthrough the line, cheerful but practical.
She mentioned shed be staying in the office for Lunch since she needed to visit Prosperity Group in the afternoon. Stella suggested that she and Dexter eat together.
Dexter overheard the conversation, and as soon as Doreen hung up, he stepped forward without a word.
His hand supported her gently but securely as he guided her toward the hospital.
By afternoon, sunlight streamed through the glass facade of them Prosperity Group building, casting a golden glow across the floor. The warm light reflected the vibrancy of the bustling city outside.
Stella arrived right on time, her heels clicking softly against the polished floor of the lobby. She spotted Fernando waiting for her by the elevators.
