Chapter 45:
Upon discovering that Laura had secretly pulled strings against her, Amelia felt frustration simmer beneath the surface. She had always shown Laura respect and courtesy, never expecting to be sabotaged by her. When she thought about the self-doubt she had experienced over the past few days, her hand holding the cup shook slightly.
“Everything okay, Amelia p>
The sound of Monroe’s voice, heavy with worry, broke through her thoughts. His concern gave her a quiet sense of comfort, helping her calm down. After she reassured Monroe that she was all right, she ended the call.
Right then, a sharp rap of knuckles against the window drew her gaze. She looked up to see Davin standing outside, with a car nearby. The rear window of the car slid down, and Wyatt’s familiar face appeared. Inside the comfort of Wyatt’s car, Amelia learned that the Stewart Group’s headquarters was nearby.
“Miss Flynn, is there something important that brought you here today?” Wyatt’s deep voice filled the space between them as the car pulled away, his question carrying an unexpected trace of concern that surprised Amelia.

Something about Wyatt’s steady presence made Amelia feel reassured. Unable to hold back, she mentioned her failed job search but kept Laura’s scheming to herself. After Katrina’s passing, Laura had been rather kind to her, and Amelia felt grateful for it. However, after today, she felt she owed nothing to the Morrison family.

It was only after Amelia finished speaking that she remembered an important matter: she was about to marry Wyatt. If even the Morrison family wouldn’t allow her to work, would the Stewart family permit it? Wyatt’s quiet only heightened her worries. If he expected her to stay home after marriage, would she be trapped as a housewife for life? A heavy feeling crept over her at the thought.
Just then, Wyatt’s voice cut through her anxiety with a gentle question. “Have you ever thought about working for the Stewart Group?” Shock filled Amelia’s eyes as she stared at the man beside her.
With a small cough, Wyatt continued, “Your achievements at Kretol University haven’t gone unnoticed. If you’re interested, the Stewart Group could use someone like you. In fact, I need a secretary, and there happens to be an opening p>
