Callthe second he wakes up.
Back at her hotel, a weary Stella had barely started to unwind when a knock at the door jolted her.
It was Bella, face etched with concern.
Stella, its Howards men, she said breathlessly.
Bella had spotted a fleet of cars emblazoned with the Archer family crest downstairs when she was shutting the window.
Alarmed, she didnt waste a second: in alerting Stella.
The unexpected visit caught Stella off guard.
Quickly regaining her composure, she asked, Have they made it up here yet? Bella shook her head, her voice tinged with worry.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNo sign of them yet. Maybe we should duck out to Whitneys place or head back to the hospital.
When Matthews up, we can jet back to Seamarsh.
Its tricky here in Dorburn; the Archer family runs the show.
Stella mulled it over, and then made a decision.
Whitneys been solid for us, but Lets not pull her in unless were really up against the wall.
I1L take a quick look downstairs.
We cant keep playing hide and seek; we need a solid plan.
Concern etched on her face, Bella was quick to offer support.
Im coming with you.
No way youre doing this solo.
The two made their way to the hotel Lobby and ran into the very secretary who had spotted them earlier at the hospital.
As Stella approached the entrance, the secretarys greeting was polite yet persistent, his smile unwavering as he extended yet another invitation.

Wed be truly honored.

Her mind briefly wandered to the enigmatic Charles family, a nshe had only heard in whispers.
She couldnt shake the feeling that they were somehow linked to her current troubles.
Adding to her unease was the memory of being mysteriously knocked out at the last fashion event, with no leads on who had followed her to Dorburn or why.
The secretary kept his cool, his smile fixed as he replied smoothly, Should you choose to decline, I find myself with no choice but to remain here and wait for you to see things differently.

Stellas features tightened as she shot back, almost incredulously s that a threat? The secretary quickly waved his hands and explained, Maam, youve misunderstood. Thats not what I meant at all. Mr.
Archer genuinely appreciates your design and would like to discuss it with you in person.
Realizing that continuing the standoff would lead nowhere Stellacfinally e decided to meet Howard. Meanwhile, in the distance, Sanford had just arrived at the hotel.
He noticed a crowd gathering near the entrance, with numerous cars parked outside.
A faint frown crossed his face as an uneasy feeling began to creep over him.
Hurriedly, he made his way back to his room and immediately pulled out his phone to call Declan. However, the call didnt go through, deepening his sense of unease.
Sanford hesitated to call Stella for clarification.
He worried that acting too rashly might raise her suspicions.
