NovelGoldChapter 2374 Stella, you and Lindsay setting up shops on the sstreet-doesnt that spell trouble? Bella ventured, her voice tinged with concern.
Im afraid it might ignite sfriction.
With a gentle shake of her head, Stella brushed off the concern.
Our offerings dont overlap; we dont have any conflict of interest.
Besides, III appoint a manager to run the day-to-day, keeping my interactions with Lindsay to a minimum.
She paused, a thoughtful expression crossing her features.
And lets not borrow trouble.
Lindsays act of saving Matthew has smoothed over many wrinkles.
I hold no grudges.
Bellas worries had painted grim scenarios, but Stellas calm assurance acted like a balm.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf youre at peace with this, then Im content. Youre right; Lindsays bravery in Matthews crisis shouldnt be overshadowed by petty grievances.
Their dialogue was sliced through by the shrill cry of a ringing phone.
Stella glanced at the display, Lucias nflashing up.
She answered, and Lucias voice bubbled through enthusiastically.
Stella, are you free tomorrow? Remember, we promised to catch up monthly.
Someones just sent over a bounty of fresh fruits and fish.
Why dont we dine with the Lowell family? Absolutely, Ill be there, Stella confirmed with a smile.
After ending the call, Stella shared news of Lucias invitation with Bella and asked if she was interested in joining.
Bella paused, her hesitation palpable, before she gently refused.
No, Stella, go on without me.
My memory hasnt cback yet, and I barely know the Lowell family.
It might just be too awkward.
Stella nodded, accepting Bellas reluctance without question.
Alright then, take stto rest.
Ill drop you off and then find a thoughtful gift for Kyra for tomorrows event.
She did giftthat lovely set of jewelry; its only right I return the gesture.
Bella acknowledged with a quiet nod.
Once Bella was comfortably settled at home, Stella ventured out to find the perfect gift.
During her drive, she reached out to Matthew, but only found herself greeted by a busy signal.
Disappointment tinged her thoughts as she wondered about Matthews whereabouts and why he was out of reach.
At the headquarters of Prosperity Group, Matthew was ensconced in his well-appointed, bright office, documents piled around him like miniature skyscrapers.
He was deep in conversation with Lindsay, whose voice bubbled over with joy and gratitude.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMatthew, Im absolutely in love with this store. Fernandos design team has truly outdone themselves.
Thank you for orchestrating everything.
Id be utterly lost without your guidance, Lindsay effused, her words skipping any mention of Stella. Matthew offered a muted response.
Mm, Im delighted to hear youre pleased.
His gaze drifted to his phone on the desk, catching sight of Stellas missed call.
His heart thumped with a mix of regret and anticipation, his thoughts momentarily adrift.
As he was about to suggest ending the call, Lindsay chimed in again, Matthew Ive got rehab training at the hospital tomorrow. Could you cwith me? After a moments hesitation, Matthew consented.
Okay, Ill be there.
He quickly wrapped up the call under the guise of urgent work and m immediately returned Stellas call. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
