Matthew shook his head.


    “No, his insights are quite professional.


    ”


    That was the puzzle he couldn’t solve.


    While Sanford appeared courteous and professional, Matthew couldn’t shake off his suspicions about him.


    What was his true motive for seeking Ste out?


    While everything was going smoothly with Ste, Lindsay found herself in a more embarrassing situation, fueling her anxiety.


    Recently, it had be painfully clear that Matthew’s indifference toward her had deepened.


    Following the unsettling hospital incident,pounded by her mention of Ste being escorted away by an unfamiliar man, Matthew had taken to almostpletely ignoring her.


    Their encounters at thepany, even when she greeted him, were met with a cold shoulder.From N?velDrama.Org.


    They worked on the same floor, separated only by a thin wall, yet Matthew’s demeanor was frosty.


    Whenever he emerged from his office, he wouldn’t so much as nce her way.


    The tasks assigned to her by Fernando had be less challenging than before, leaving her with no pretext to interact with Matthew.


    She felt like a superfluous entity within Prosperity Group, brimming with a sense of crisis.


    Moreover, hermunication with Joann had been severed for a while due to their previous argument.


    If this trend continued, she feared she would find herself increasingly estranged from both Prosperity Group and the rk family.


    Determined not to sit idly by as her situation deteriorated, Lindsay knew she had to act.


    However, seeking assistance from Waldo and Lucia seemed futile, as they would likely side with Ste.


    After much deliberation, she concluded that Joann was the only one she could turn to for help.


    With a mixture of reluctance and resolve, Lindsay dialed Joann’s number.


    The phone rang endlessly before it was finally picked up, yet silence filled the air.


    Taking the initiative, Lindsay broke the silence.


    “Joann, are you still upset with me? I was at faultst time.


    I’ve taken these days to reflect and seek rity before calling you.


    Are you really not going to talk to me?”


    She swallowed her pride and her distaste, trying to appease Joann.


    After a tense pause, Joann responded, “If you have something to say,e to the DK Bar.


    We can discuss it in detail there.


    ”


    With those words, Joann ended the call and turned to Felix, who sat beside her.


    “I’ll do my best to create opportunities for you and Lindsay.


    As for what you promised, how much longer must I wait?”


    Initially, Joann had been hesitant to pair up Felix and Lindsay, but Lindsay’s actions in the hospital had extinguished any semnce of mercy Joann might have harbored.


    She knew she had to pave the way for her own happiness, regardless of the consequences.


    Felix’s eyes sparkled at the mention of Lindsay’s impending arrival, a flicker of excitement dancing in his gaze.


    However, his enthusiasm dimmed when he remembered the task Joann had set before him.
