Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 878

"Mr. Winters, have you made it to the parking lot yet? Or should I come down and meet you myself?"

However, the voice that came through the phone was Mr. Winters, panicked and desperate.

"Ms. West! You've got to help me, please! It's all a big misunderstanding, I swear. Could you possibly talk to Mr. Dashiell for me, get me a chance to explain things to him face to face? I..."

Stella was puzzled and furrowed her brows as she interrupted Mr. Winters.

"Mr. Winters, hold on a second. What are you talking about? Weren't you on your way here with the contract? What's all this about needing rescue and pleading for mercy? I can't make heads or tails of it."

Stella had a bad feeling about this. She lowered her voice and quickened her pace towards her office.

But Margaret had been speaking so loudly, and Stella's odd reaction upon picking up the phone didn't go unnoticed by the ever-watchful employees.

As Stella's office door shut behind her, whispers spread like wildfire.

"What's going on? Could the deal have fallen through?"

"No way! Have you guys seen the video that's been going around in the group chat? My god, it turns out Ms. West isn't just Mr. Dashiell's childhood sweetheart; she's also his lifesaver."

They murmured among themselves.

Inside the office, Stella's complexion had turned grim.

Mr. Winters was still on the line, pleading like a man out of options.
