Stella Sterling said bluntly, "Tomorrow night is Mr. Jewell's sixty-sixth birthday banquet. We have to go celebrate."
Roman Rhodes's lips curved into a smile. "Then we'll go to the banquet first. We can talk about everything else tomorrow night."
Stella Sterling figured they could discuss when to meet tomorrow night, so she readily agreed.
The video call didn't last long.
Before hanging up, Stella Sterling said in a serious tone, "Make sure you clear some time this weekend, okay? I have something important to discuss with you."
"Alright."
Perhaps because she'd figured things out and made up her mind.
That night, Stella Sterling slept soundly.
...
「The next day, Friday.」
Mr. Jewell's birthday banquet was to be held at 6:06 p.m. at The Calderin Residence.
Stella Sterling went to work as usual that day.
At four in the afternoon, she left work early to meet her parents and sister at home.
Before they left.
