If Stella couldn't forgive him, or decided to leave him, Harold didn't know what Joshua might do. The possibilities were terrifying. He glanced nervously at Joshua's face.
There was no denying that Joshua's actions had caused Stella a great deal of trouble, and she had worked tirelessly to protect him. Even as Joshua's subordinate, Harold had to admit that Stella was fiercely loyal to the people around her, from Abby Murphy to Joshua himself. It was no wonder Abby had been willing to infiltrate a viper's nest like the Lerman estate for her.
But Joshua was falling deeper and deeper. He had never been a saint. If Stella couldn't give him what he wanted… Harold didn't dare imagine the outcome. It was a ticking time bomb between them.
Just then, Joshua's attention returned to the broadcast. Perhaps it was the novel feeling of being protected, but a small, genuine smile touched his lips. His mood was visibly, undeniably bright.
The sight sent a chill down Harold's spine. This looked dangerously like… a man in love.
…
Stella had deftly resolved the crisis. The internet was now flooded with praise for Joshua.
His heart skipped a beat. For the first time, he felt genuinely awkward. He turned his head, avoiding her gaze.
"Thank you, Star."
"I spent a long time fighting battles against Jasper and Rachel," Stella said. "I understand the public. People like Stuart, who look down on ordinary citizens with such arrogance, are destined to be brought down by them. The same water that supports a ship can also sink it. Without the public's support, my words would have been useless, no matter how eloquent."
