Be looked up at her and asked, “Why have we been staying here all these days? Is something going on? Does it have anything to do with Kristian?”
Be finally voiced the question that had been weighing on her mind.
Since moving into this vi, she had sensed that something was amiss.
The constant presence of so many guards only seemed to confirm her suspicions.
She pondered for a while and tentatively spected that it might be because of something Kristian had done, though she wasn’t certain.
Therefore, she decided to summon Ste and inquire about it.
Ste knew she couldn’t conceal the truth indefinitely, and Be would inevitably question it sooner orter.
However, she didn’t want Be to be too anxious about the situation.
“Yeah, something’se up.
But don’t stress about it,” Ste said gently.
“Matthew’s on top of things.
Once it’s sorted, we’ll head back home.
”
Be pursed her lips.
Ste’s evasive gaze made her strongly believe it must be rted to Kristian.
She sped Ste’s hand and earnestly requested, “Please let Matthew know that if Kristian is at fault, he can handle the situation as he sees fit.
There’s no need to show mercy because of me.
”
Ste’s chest constricted when she heard that.
Ste interpreted Be’s words as a sign that she still held some level of concern or care for Kristian.
She couldn’t fathom the conse
quences if Be were to discover that she had been deceived all these years.
Ste wished for Be to stay here, in this vi forever.
That way, she would never have to face the painful reality.
Seeing Ste was silent, Be asked, “Did you hear what I said?”
Ste snapped back to reality and replied in a t tone, “Yeah.
I’ll pass on your message to him.
”
In the evening, at RK Bar’s secluded room, Emil grinned as he toasted.
“Congrattions, Kristian.
Your dream hase true.
”
Kristian lifted his ss to meet Emil’s.
“Thank you for your support, Emil.
This happiness is ours to share!”
The two enjoyed their time, sipping drinks and engaging in conversation.
Around others, Kristian often showed signs of grief over the loss of his wife and daughter, but tonight, no such sorrow was apparent.
Setting his ss down, Kristian got to the point.
“Our joint project should wrap up in about a week.
When it does, let’s get the movie released and the money will beundered.
”
Emil chuckled, his admiration clear.
“You’ve got guts, Kristian, and you’re sharp too.
Working with someone as astute as you is genuinely rewarding.
I’m looking forward to more coborations.
”
Everyone enjoys a goodpliment, especially when feeling self- satisfied.
Pleased by Emil’s words and slightly tipsy, Kristian embraced him and called him “buddy.
”
His speech slightly slurred, Kristian continued, “You’re too modest.
We’re buddies, aren’t we? From now on, what’s mine is yours too.
