Benny carefully untangled himself from Flossie and stepped outside to answer the call.
“I saw the news about the Liz fashion show.
How’s Flossie?” Edmund’s voice crackled with concern.
“She’s alright, sleeping now,” Benny replied curtly.
“Who was it?” Edmund pressed in a low voice.
“Jessica Gomez,” said Benny coldly.
“I see.
Take care of her.
” With that, Edmund ended the call.
The insistent buzz of the rm clock jolted Ste awake the next morning.
She silenced the rm and rose from the bed.
Today, she was headed to an art exhibition, hoping to spark some inspiration for fixing Be’s test dress.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.
By the time Ste finished breakfast, Matthew had already left for Prosperity Group.
Grabbing her bag, she was about to head out when Haley’s voice stopped her.
“Ste, are you going out? Can Ie with you? I’m bored out of my mind here.
”
A slight smile yed on Ste’s lips.
“Sure,e along.
”
Haley’s face lit up.
“Great! I’ll just go get changed.
”
Ste spun around and retreated to her room.
She grabbed her phone and sent a message to Kristian.
Kristian’s response was swift.
“We need to take action today.
”
Ste took Haley to the art exhibition.
A throng of homeless men clustered near the entrance, anticipating the influx of visitors.
They all hoped to snag some money.
Ste reached into her wallet and handed one man a hundred-dor bill.
They entered the hall.
The exhibition showcased thetest works of various masters, all adhering to the traditional ssical style Be favored.
Ste found herself captivated by the exhibits.
Haley, however, wandered around listlessly, her mind far from appreciating the masterpieces.
Suddenly, Ste pointed to a piece.
“Look at the clean lines on that shirt.
It’s a ssic design, wouldn’t you say?”
She turned to find Haley looking startled.
“Yes, you’re right,” Haley answered, averting her gaze.
Fearing further questions, she quickly changed the subject.
“I’m feeling a bit drained.
Could we take a break at the coffee shop next door?”
