The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1573

Hearing Joshua's name, Stella's gaze flickered, but she remained silent.

Abby quickly changed the subject. "Star, once we wrap things up here, let's go out. A real shopping spree. We were cooped up in Harland for so long, we completely forgot what a mall looks like."

"Okay," Stella agreed.

Stella had been working overtime constantly and hadn't had a proper rest in ages. Now that the dust had settled, the tightly wound spring inside her could finally unwind. There were still three or four files on her desk. She decided to work late tonight to finish them so she could go shopping with Abby tomorrow. She meant to just rest her head on the desk for a moment before starting, but before she knew it, she had drifted off to sleep.

She wasn't sure how long had passed when she felt a jacket being draped over her shoulders. She woke with a start.

Rubbing her eyes, she asked, "Did I fall asleep again… Joshua, what time is it?"

The air seemed to freeze for a moment. Then, Abby's voice broke the silence. "Star, it's already eleven-thirty."

Stella turned and saw the sorrow in Abby's eyes. She lowered her gaze.
