Chapter 265 No Way Out
Eddie was panicking too.
With Abraham’s current attitude being so terrifying. Eddie didn’t care anymore. He decided to counter–use him first and figure the rest outter.
After all, Ste wasn’t missing. The one missing was Eddie’s sister.
On the phone, Kimmy was still saying, “Boss, losing Sterling Global is a huge blow for us.”
Ste said, “Ah? That’s…
She pulled her gaze <b>away </b>from the dining room.
It was a pretty big loss, but the reason she had been nning to hand the studio over to Tessa was because of Sterling Global.
Now that the partnership with Sterling Global was gone, was there even a point in keeping the studio anymore?
She thought about how hardworking Kimmy had been these past two years, and about the other designers. Honestly, even without Sterling Global, the studio’s smaller orders were enough to keep them all afloat. “You shoulde to Seats Cove tomorrow, Ste said after thinking for a moment.
Kimmy said, “Seats Cove?”
Was it the ce she was thinking of?
Ste hummed an acknowledgment. “Bring some of thepany’s business documents too.”
At this point, she probably wouldn’t be able to leave tomorrow.
With Evie ditching Marie’s people, there was no telling what crazy move she would pull next.
She might as well stay holed up safely at Seats <b>Cove </b>
After hanging up with Kimmy, Ste returned to the dining <b>room </b>just in time to hear Abraham telling Abel, “Find her tonight”
“Got it”
Evie <b>was </b>still in Rivermount. Tracking her down wouldn’t be hard.
As Abel turned to leave, Eddie quickly followed. “I’ming with you.”
He had missed his chance earlier when Abel ran off by himself, leaving Eddie on edge all day.
He was terrified Abel would actually find Evie and beat her into a bruised mess.
His mother still held onto a tiny hope that her daughter’s skin would one day return to its snow–white beauty. He couldn’t let her face get ruined
Eddie and Abel left together.
Abraham turned to Ste. The stern look in his eyes was gone, reced by a <b>gentle </b>warmth. “Come here.”
Ste shuffled over in small steps.
As soon as she <b>got </b>close, <b>Abraham </b>pulled her into hisp.
Ste’s cheeks flushed pink.
Abraham pinched her cheek lightly. “Still hurt?”
Ste’s face, already starting to turn red, practically exploded at his words.
“It hasn’t been that long. Don’t tell me you’re already…”
Abraham held her slim waist, burying his head against her small shoulder. “I miss you.”
Ste <b>was </b>speechless.
Finished
“Let go of me,” she <b>said</b>.
Her mind was preupied with the studio situation. She wasn’t in the mood to mess around with him.
Abraham sensed her distraction
“Who was that call from just <b>now</b>?”
The studio.
“And why are you upset?”
“Our biggest client pulled out.”
After all, they had been working together for so long. Sterling Global had partnered with them when the studio firstunched
Now, out of nowhere, without even a real reason, the partnership <b>was </b>over. Ste couldn’t help but feel a little upset.
Abraham sat up straighter and gently pressed her head against his chest. “Biggest client?”
Sterling Global. Honestly, I owe them a lot. They picked my tiny studio when nobody else would. After that, a lot of other coborations came along too.”
Without Sterling Global, no one would have given her new studio a chance back then.
Hearing the name Sterling Global, Abraham chuckled lightly.
<b>“</b>You’re going back to Fleule anyway. If they don’t want to work with you anymore, just let it <b>go</b>.”
Abraham <b>sounded </bpletely indifferent.
Ste said, “I can’t. There are so many designers depending on the studio. I can’t just let it die.”
“I think I need to go to Sterling Global myself.”
They couldn’t just <b>end </b><b>the </b>partnership <b>without </b>even giving her a proper reason.
Wait. Actually, she didn’t have to go herself.
She looked up. “Abraham, I <b>remember </b>you said you know the CEO of Sterling Global?*
Hearing Ste call him “Abraham” while leaning against his chest feltpletely different from before.
Even though their rtionship had progressed, Abraham still loved hearing her call him that.
“Yedh, I know him
Though she didn’t say it out loud, because she knew Abraham hated people using connections,
