On the other side.
After the meeting was over, Martha went to the office to double-check procedures for tomorrow.
Marking sure nothing went wrong, she began to deal with the business at hand.
When she was about to get off work, she reminded Jane.
"In the evening, you inform the staff again that we will gather at the dock at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. This survey will last for a week."
Jane nodded, "Okay, Ms. Doyle. Shall I pick you up?" Martha refused, "No need. You go to the dock tomorrow morning, and we will meet there."
Jane nodded seriously when she heard the answer, "Okay, Ms. Doyle, remember to bring your medicine with you."
"Okay, go home now."
After Martha finished speaking, she went back to her desk to pack up the documents she would bring with her the next day.
...
At seven o'clock in the evening, she returned to the Harrison Villa.
The trip would last for a week, so she needed to bring some clothes.
Thinking that she wouldn't have to stay with Stefan for a week, she felt great.
Stefan thought exactly in the opposite way.
When Stefan returned without seeing Martha's familiar figure in the living room, he immediately frowned in displeasure.
He squinted at the maid, and asked coldly, "Hasn't Martha come back yet?"
The maid immediately glanced in the direction upstairs, and then reported in a low voice.
"Mr. Harrison, Mrs. Harrison came back early today, but she went back to her room to pack her things without having dinner. She should be going somewhere."
Hearing this, Stefan's eyes darkened. 'Packing her things? Is she leaving?'
'Where is she leaving for?'
'Does she want to break the agreement before three months are up?'
He glanced in the direction upstairs with deep eyes and walked up.
When he came to Martha's room, he pushed the door open without knocking at the door.
He stepped in, only to see Martha's suitcase aside. Seeing the suitcase, he felt irritated for no reason.
He frowned, and questioned in a slightly angry tone, "Where are you going?"
Martha glanced at him, and just when she was about to answer him, her phone rang.
She looked at Rhys' name on the phone screen and felt upset somehow.
They had agreed to meet at nine o'clock the next day.
What was he calling for?
Standing beside her, Stefan naturally saw the caller ID, and his eyes became even sullener.
Martha didn't care how sullen Stefan looked. She pressed the answer button and said calmly, "What do you want from me?"
Rhys' gentle voice came from the phone the next second.
"Honey, shall I pick you up tomorrow morning?"
The room was very quiet, and Stefan was standing beside her, so he heard Rhys' words clearly.
His pupils shrank as he pursed his lips into a line.
Martha clearly felt the air around her become colder. She looked resignedly at the moonlight shining on the floor.
She knew why Rhys called at this time. He called to enrage Stefan because he knew Stefan was with her.
Martha raised her hand to rub her temples, and replied in a cold voice, "Mr. Williams, thanks. But I can go to the dock tomorrow by myself."
"I want to be your escort, can't I?"
Rhys' voice was flirty. It made Stefan look at Martha with sullener eyes.
'Is that how she gets along with Rhys when I am not around?'
'Honey.'
'That sounds really disgusting.'
