“Ste, your generosity knows no bounds,” Nevilleplimented, sealing the agreement.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Ste’s cheeks flushed a deep rose.


    “Let’s go.


    ” Matthew said, walking off.


    The group headed toward the elevator, descending to the parking lot.


    Ste got into Miley’s car.


    Matthew appeared to deliberately hold her back, but recalling Ste’s words from the previous night, he swallowed whatever he’d been about to say.


    Once Neville got in the car, he took the front passenger seat and said into his phone, “Keep a watch on Miley’spany.


    I want to be alerted immediately if there are any irregrities.


    Also, find some activities her business can participate in.


    ” His voice bore a rare seriousness.


    Matthew, sitting at the wheel, listened to Neville’s instructions in silence.


    As Neville ended the call, Matthew couldn’t help but tease, “You seem quite concerned about Miley.


    ”


    Pausing for a moment, Neville lifted his eyes to meet Matthew’s and shed his trademark mischievous grin.


    “Miley is Ste’s close friend.


    If I do her a few favors, maybe she’ll put in a good word for you in front of your wife.


    ” Consider it a favor to you.


    When Ste finally epts you, don’t forget you owe me a great meal.


    With that, Neville yfully punched Matthew’s shoulder.


    Matthew’s Lips curved into an enigmatic smile, but he chose to remain silent.


    The two cars pulled into the parking lot of Luking Restaurant, one after the other.


    It was lunchtime, and as soon as the four of them stepped into the elevator, a throng of people unexpectedly crowded in.


    Ste instinctively stepped back.

    Just then, a hand gently settled on her waist, pulling her into a warm embrace a secondter.


    Theforting scent filled her nostrils, but Ste shifted, attempting to dislodge Matthew’s arm.


    “Watch out, you might get squeezed,” Matthew whispered softly into her ear, lowering his head for emphasis.


    “Just bear with it for a while.


    ”


    The elevator was crowded, leaving Ste no option but to be pressed closely against Matthew.


    He remained silent, but his warm breath caressed Ste’s neck, causing her to shiver involuntarily.


    Her heart raced as she lowered her gaze, her cheeks flushed with color.


    Finally, the elevator reached the sixth floor.


    The sound of the doors sliding open was a relief to Ste.


    “Excuse me,” she murmured, navigating cautiously through the throng of people.
