“That’s good.


    ” After getting her answer, Ellie hung up the phone with satisfaction.


    Just as Miley was about to exhale in relief, a tentative voice behind her queried, “Since when have you had such a good rtionship with Neville?”


    Miley felt a jolt of surprise.


    Twisting around, she found Ste eyeing her with curiosity.


    In a fluster, she retorted, “Neville and I are strictly professional associates.


    Why would you think we’re anything more?”


    Skepticism colored Ste’s expression.


    “You did say you were nning to maintain a rtionship with Neville.


    ”


    “That was just a ruse for my mother,” Miley rified, guiding Ste to the sofa.


    Settling into the cushions, Ste wasted no time.


    “So how does your mom even know him?”


    Leaning back into the sofa, Miley exhaled deeply.


    “My parents are trying to set us up,” she divulged, recalling her encounter with Neville that evening.


    “What a coincidence!” Ste couldn’t hold back her astonishment.


    “It’s almost as if fate is intertwining your paths.


    You coincidentally met him before, and now your parents are ying matchmaker.


    Maybe you should give some serious thought to being with him.


    ”


    “Absolutely not,” Miley said, her tone unequivocal.

    “The whole idea irks me.


    ”


    “Just suggesting you mull it over.


    After all, you’re both single and seeminglypatible in many ways,” Ste said.


    “We’ll talk about this some other time.


    ” Shaking her head dismissively, Miley redirected the conversation.


    “What have you been up to today?”


    “My studio lease is finalized,” Ste reported candidly.


    “After a good clean-up in the next couple of days, I can move in.


    I’m brainstorming ways to make it sessful.


    ”


    Even though Ste had sessfullypleted multiple projects at Prosperity Group and gained some notoriety, venturing out to start her own business still filled her with a measure of apprehension.


    Yet, she knew she had to take the plunge if she ever wanted to make significant strides forward.


    As Ste spoke, her eyes gleamed with anticipation.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
