Chapter 131:
With a gentle glance toward Wyatt, Amelia responded quietly, “I’ll get out here. It’s better if the others at work don’t see us arriving together, so I’ll leave now.” After giving Wyatt a small wave, she slipped out and shut the door behind her.
As soon as the door clicked shut, Barrie sensed a chill settle in the car’s atmosphere. Not daring to say anything, he focused on the road and drove as soon as the traffic light allowed.
Having missed several days at work, Amelia found her inbox flooded with messages from the Administrative Services Department—Matias alone had sent her several each day. The instant she walked into the office, Matias hurried over. “Amelia, I’m so glad you’re back p>
The past several days had worn Matias down since Amelia hadn’t been around. But determined not to look completely overwhelmed, he tried to play it cool and said, “How are you holding up? If you’re still not feeling well, take another few days off. I’ll keep things under control with the project p>
Noting how he seemed relieved yet tried to mask it, Amelia flashed a mischievous smile and replied, “Well, if you insist, maybe I should extend my break p>
Just as she was about to head out, Matias darted in front of her to stop her. “Wait, please! If you don’t come back soon, the rest of us might drop from sheer exhaustion p>

He gestured at the shadows under his eyes. “Can you see these? I’m about to lose my good looks p>
Those dark circles didn’t lie. The long nights were written all over his face.
“But didn’t I already send you the framework? How have you still been so busy?” Amelia had already mapped out the development strategy for the Prevda Resort, though there were bits of data that still needed polishing, which she had assigned to Matias and the others.
“You’ll understand in a minute.” Without another word, Matias set his laptop on her desk.
Amelia flipped through a few pages, and it didn’t take her long to spot the issue. There were no domestic resorts of similar scale to the Prevda Resort, so Matias and the others couldn’t find relevant data.
“I should’ve noticed this sooner. It’s all right. We’ll sort through the numbers together,” Amelia said.
As soon as she said that, the tension left Matias’s shoulders. He couldn’t help but ask, “Does that mean we can finally get some rest p>
“I’m afraid that’s not happening,” Amelia replied.
All eyes landed on her. Meeting those looks, she announced that Jordy would be visiting Kretol in a couple of days. “When we meet the representative from Prevda Resort, the plan needs to be watertight. These next few days will be tough, but I promise I’ll put in for bonuses for everyone when it’s done p>
Nothing fired up a tired team like talk of money, and in an instant, their fatigue gave way to newfound energy.
