Matthew lifted the glass to his lips and emptied it in one gulp, eagerly anticipating the life that awaited him with Stella.

Meanwhile, Stella found solace in the haze of intoxication and slumbered deeply.

The anxieties that had haunted her for days seemed to finally evaporate.

When she stirred awake, it was already late into the morning.

Groaning, she experienced a piercing headache as reality settled back in.

Hunched over on the bed, she massaged her temples, straining to remember the details of the previous evening.

The only fragment she could grasp was her night out drinking with Miley.

Frowning, she touched her lips, which felt oddly sore.

It was an unfamiliar sensation, one she’d never experienced from getting drunk before.

Despite her best efforts, the events of the night remained a mystery.

Rising from the bed, Stella opened the door to find Miley standing there, hand poised as if to knock.

Retracting her hand, Miley inquired, “I was just about to check on you.

Anxiously grappling with her memory gaps from the night before, Stella queried, “Miley, how did I make it home last night?”

Miley replied calmly, “It wasn’t easy.

As she spoke, her eyes scrutinized Stella’s face, gauging her reactions.

Sensing no suspicion, Miley exhaled a quiet sigh of relief.

It appeared that Stella had no recollection of Matthew’s appearance the previous evening.

“Did I say something while I was drunk?” Stella continued, her voice tinged with apprehension.

“Yes, you did.

” Miley stared at her.

Growing more anxious, Stella asked, “What did I say?”

“You told me you didn’t actually want to resign.

You said you wanted to stay with Prosperity Group,” Miley revealed, watching as Stella’s expression shifted abruptly.

Before Stella could inquire further, Miley added, “You also confessed that you’ve fallen in love with Matthew.
