Chapter 372:
He expressed his contentment. “Thank you, Gabriela. That was a special breakfast p>
Gabriela clenched her teeth in silent irritation.
As she exited the vehicle and advanced toward the entrance, Wesley called after her, “Gabriela, thank you for last evening. I haven’t experienced such restful sleep in ages p>
Gabriela struggled for an appropriate response, so she simply murmured an acknowledgment and fled swiftly into the building.
Not far away, Stewart positioned himself beside the roadside, sporting sunglasses with his hands buried in his pockets.
He sneered, “It appears Myah’s sympathy-seeking tactics remain inadequate against Wesley’s influence p>
Erik lingered behind him, speaking in a hushed tone. “Mr. Williams, I have something to say, and I hope you won’t hold it against me p>
Stewart responded curtly, “Speak your mind p>

Erik proceeded with caution. “As CEO of the Williams Group, you stand at the helm of a business empire. The corporation demands constant attention. Why do you conduct yourself like a stalker, perpetually trailing Gabriela? Such behavior reflects poorly upon the company’s reputation p>
Stewart struck Erik’s forehead with his palm. “How dare you address your superior in such a manner p>
Erik cradled his head protectively. “You commanded me to speak freely p>
Though Erik’s observations stung with their bluntness, Stewart recognized their validity and soon retreated to his vehicle. “We’re returning to the office immediately p>
Gabriela arrived at the company, conducted her morning conference, then collaborated with Kaleb on the GD Fashion Show arrangements. Her secretary rapped against the door before entering. “Ms. Haynes, a young woman named Myah Espinoza demands an audience with you p>
As the secretary delivered this news, Myah swept into the room clutching her white cane. “Gabriela p>
Gabriela dismissed both the secretary and Kaleb, then guided Myah toward the sofa seating. “What prompted this unexpected visit? Has Delia accompanied you p>
“No.” Myah wrenched her hand from Gabriela’s grasp, radiating agitation. “Gabriela, answer me truthfully — did Wesley transport you to the office this morning p>
Gabriela frowned. “Who told you that p>
“You’re not denying it, so it must be true.” Myah suddenly seized Gabriela’s sleeve with desperate intensity. “Have you abandoned all memory of my brother p>
“Of course not,” Gabriela offered gentle reassurance. “Allan was a kind soul. I will always remember him p>
“You’re lying!” Myah erupted in fury. “He perished merely five years ago, yet you’ve already transferred your affections elsewhere p>
Gabriela recoiled in shock. “What are you talking about p>
“I understand that my brother is gone, and you will live your own life. However, if you seek a fresh romantic beginning, it must never involve Wesley! He received my brother’s heart in a transplant, and now he pursues his beloved. Fuck him p>
Myah dissolved into hysterical weeping and shrieking.
Gabriela suddenly comprehended that Myah had completely misconstrued her relationship with Allan.
She clasped Myah’s hands with tender firmness, speaking with heartfelt sincerity. “Allan and I maintained only the deepest friendship. He regarded me as his sister — you’ve misinterpreted everything p>
Myah was stunned. “That cannot be possible! You were his romantic partner. I’ve always considered you family p>
“Myah, I cannot fathom why you believed I harbored romantic feelings for Allan, but I never pursued such a relationship with him.” Gabriela’s voice carried gentle conviction. “Furthermore, I serve as Wesley’s temporary secretary solely for a project. I will never become romantically involved with him. Yet this arrangement bears no connection to Allan whatsoever — do you comprehend p>
Myah’s emotional storm gradually subsided. “Are you speaking absolute truth? You’re not deceiving me p>
“I swear I am telling the truth p>
Having successfully calmed Myah’s distress, Gabriela found herself overwhelmed with pressing responsibilities, so she contacted a reliable subordinate to escort Myah safely home.
Shortly thereafter, Stewart received Myah’s telephone call, learning of her persuasion by Gabriela’s explanations, which left him profoundly frustrated. Myah possessed dramatic tendencies, yet remained fundamentally naive, easily swayed by eloquent reasoning.
Even if Gabriela never cherished Allan romantically, Stewart was still irritated that she cared for Wesley.
He studied the deep-sea city architectural model for an extended period, suddenly conceiving a calculated strategy.
