The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1008

A fleeting glimmer passed through Joshua’s eyes—a flash so quick it was almost undetectable.

He had no intention of letting things go, either.

Stella hadn’t blamed Foreman for anything, so how could she possibly hold Joshua responsible?

After all, Joshua’s vacation was something she’d arranged for him herself.

This wasn’t Foreman’s fault, and it certainly wasn’t Joshua’s. The person truly to blame was Leonard, the root of all this trouble.

Abby spoke up. “Star, it’s getting late. You should get some rest. Tomorrow, Joshua and I still need to help you collect the Williams Group files.”

Stella’s expression shifted slightly at Abby’s words.

“I won’t be able to make it tomorrow—I have something else to take care of. I’ll let Dad know; you and Joshua can go without me.”

There was so much she needed to learn—not just business basics, but also a thorough understanding of the Williams Group itself.

If she was going to work there, she needed to be familiar with every aspect of the company. These documents weren’t confidential business files, just background materials every Williams heir ought to know, if only to avoid making a fool of herself later by not even knowing what her own family did.

Skyler Williams had waved it off with a generous hand, happy for Stella to take the materials and study up.

As for the truly sensitive documents… Stella wasn’t cleared for those. Not yet.

Abby looked surprised. “Star, aren’t you starting at the Williams Group at the end of the month? I thought you were eager to learn everything you could. What could possibly be more important than this?”

Everyone knew Stella would face challenges once she started at the company. She had little practical experience—she was full of gaps and vulnerabilities, like a sieve full of holes.

Stella understood this herself. She’d already bought stacks of business books and was even planning to hire a tutor.

She explained, “Foreman’s only here in Solmaris for a couple of days. He asked me to show him around, and I couldn’t say no.”

After years of living and studying in Solmaris, Stella knew the city inside and out.
