They ended the call after concluding their conversation.


    Matthew overheard their conversation.


    As soon as Ste ended the call, he inquired eagerly, “Are you heading to Dorburn?”


    Ste nodded in confirmation.


    Matthew dered, “Count me in.


    ”


    Ste responded with a hint of surprise, “You too?”


    Concerned about the looming piles of work awaiting him at Prosperity Group, she cautioned, “You still have responsibilities at thepany.


    Can you afford to leave? Don’t push yourself too hard.


    ”


    Matthew smiled and reassured her, “I can make time.


    Plus, the film and television project I’m coborating on with Kristian still has scenes to shoot in Dorburn.


    It’s essential I visit to oversee everything firsthand.


    ”


    Ste understood that this was merely an excuse, wondering why the CEO of apany needed to concern himself with scenes being shot for a film and television project.


    But she chose not to press the issue further.


    Instead, she linked arms with a smile and gratefully said, “Thank you foring with us.


    ”


    Matthew smiled faintly, gently embraced her, and nted a tender ki*s on her forehead.


    Over the next three days, tranquility reigned.

    Her expression turned serious as she asked with concern, “What’s the matter?”


    Be simply suggested, “Let’s meet up.


    It’s hard to exin over the phone.


    ”


    Hearing the tremor in Be’s voice, Ste reassured her swiftly, “I’lle over right away.


    Don’t worry.


    ”


    After reassuring Be, Ste hurried to the agreed-upon meeting spot.


    The two met in a private room of a coffee shop.


    As Ste pushed the door open, she found Be seated anxiously, fidgeting in her chair.


    Ste wasted no time.


    “What’s wrong? What happened?”


    Once the waiter had left their private room, Be retrieved her phone and handed it to Ste.


    “Take a look at this first,” she urged.
