Stella arrived on the twenty-fourth floor, the COO's office area.
She rarely came up here, but she knew exactly where Joseph Carter's office was.
"Miss Walters, I'm Mr. Carter's secretary," a young woman greeted her politely the moment she stepped out of the elevator. "He is already waiting for you inside."
She walked her to the COO's office and opened the door for her with a slight nod.
"Thank you," Stella said with a faint smile before walking in.
Stella tried to appear calm, but her mind was restless. Joseph Carter wasn't the kind of man who called someone without a reason, especially not her.
He sat behind his desk, surrounded by stacks of documents, eyes focused on the papers in front of him. For a moment, he didn't even notice her standing there.
When he finally looked up, his expression softened slightly. He gave a small smile and nodded to his secretary to close the door.
Then he stood and walked toward the seating area with his usual composure.
