Chapter 21: Her Fiance was Unparallel to Anyone
When Amber was busy sharing news about her bumping into Lariette and the mysterious man, Stephanie was waiting for her fiance, Matthias at an Italian restaurant near Silvera Logistics headquarters.
The hour was still early for lunch but, Stephanie had already arrived at the fine dining restaurant. She sat alone in one of the private dining rooms.
"What's wrong with him?!"
Hissing, Stephanie stared angrily at her phone, her blue eyes fired specks of fury. She ignored every new notification from anyone else as she tried to contact Damien.
"Urgh! Why must his company be in trouble now? I can't even talk to him!"
Stephanie tossed the phone to the dining table. The sleek metal landed on a spot near the flower vase. Puffing in anger, she crossed her arms over her chest.
Stephanie had been trying to contact Damien for a few days already. She wanted to push him to get Lariette to succumb to his seduction again.
Unfortunately, Damien was too busy in saving the company. Schuman Group suddenly received warnings from one of their crucial investors, Faulkner Investments.
Stephanie didn't know much detail about the incident but, it seemed like Faulkner Investments caught Schuman Group mishandling some funds.
The prime suspect was none other than Damien.
Chairman Schuman, Damien's father was desperate to regain the investors' and shareholders' trust. They couldn't afford to offend Faulkner Investment.
