Chapter 652

Coupled with the uneasy conclusion to their last phone call, contacting her today might only solidify her desire to leave.

Matthew pressed his temples, trying to alleviate the throbbing ache.

He clasped his hands and rested his forehead upon them, deep in thought.

Suddenly, Miley came to mind.

During the last press conference, Stella had been in danger, and Miley’s overt concern hadn’t gone unnoticed.

They were clearly close and perhaps Miley could offer some clarity.

Without wasting another minute, Matthew scrolled through his contacts.

He recalled that Miley had willingly shared her number during a previous dinner.

He dialed her number without a second thought.

The call was answered swiftly, but Miley’s tone was tinged with annoyance.

“Who’s calling?”

Unfazed, Matthew replied, “This is Matthew Clark.

”

Upon recognizing the name, Miley pulled the phone away to glance at the caller ID displayed on the screen.

After a moment of hesitation, she asked, somewhat flustered, “Mr.

Clark, what can I assist you with?”

“I have an important matter to discuss.

Could we meet in person?”

Matthew asked, his voice composed.

Surveying her chaotic workspace, Miley declined.

“As you may know, my firm is swamped with urgent matters right now, and I can’t afford to step away.

Unless it’s urgent, perhaps we can address it over the phone?”

Without missing a beat, Matthew stated firmly, “I’ll come to your office.

”

This statement took Miley by surprise.

She hesitated for a moment but felt she couldn’t say no.

“Very well.

”

After hanging up, Matthew made his way to Miley’s workplace immediately.

Miley’s assistant ushered Matthew into her office.

Immersed in her financial work, she looked visibly stressed.

Upon Matthew’s entry, she promptly stood up, instructed her assistant to brew some coffee, and welcomed him.
