GoodNovelFreeEverything felt like an insurmountable weight pressing on her chest.
Her exhaustion caught up with her, and before she realized it, she had drifted off to sleep.
A knock at the door startled her awake sometaround noon.
She sat up abruptly, her stiff body protesting the sudden movement.
Her mind felt foggy as she tried to reorient herself.
Stella, are you in there? cDoreens gentle voice from outside.
Quickly smoothing her hair and straightening her clothes, Stella called out, Cin.
She felt the heavy weight of fatigue lingering as though her energy had been drained completely.
Lately, it seemed she could fall asleep anywhere, at any time.
Doreen entered and immediately noticed Stellas pale face and tired eyes.
Stella, you look absolutely worn out, she said, her tone filled with concern.
Maybe you should go hand rest for a bit? Stella shook her head firmly.

Theres too much going on right now. I dont have the time.
She took a steadying breath.
Whats going on? Did you need something? Theres a young man outside asking to see you, Doreen replied.
Stellas brows furrowed.
Her first thought was Sanford, but she quickly dismissed the ideaDoreen knew Sanford, so she wouldnt have been so vague.
Before Stella could ask more, Doreen added, He said Mr.
Lowell sent him.
Stella suddenly recalled that she had asked Bennett to help her investigate the recent incidents.
Turning to Doreen, she said, Let him in.
Doreen gave a quick nod and stepped out of the room.
Moments later, she returned, escorting a tall, young man.
Once he was inside, Doreen excused herself with a tactful bow, leaving them alone.
The man approached Stella with an air of politeness.
Good afternoon.
My nis Dexter Moreno.
Im 26 years old and a graduate from Stella held up a hand, cutting him off with a faint smile.
Alright, alright, no need for a full biography.
Without further ado, she handed him a folder that Doreen had prepared earlier.
These documents contain details about the chandelier incident at the launch event and the warehouse fire.
I need you to review them thoroughly.
Focus particularly on the warehouse fire and see if you can uncover any Leads.
Dexter accepted the folder with a confident smile.
Understood.
Ill get to the bottom of it as quickly as I can.
With that, he gave a respectful nod and departed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTo Stellas surprise, Dexter proved to be astonishingly efficient.
By the tshe wrapped up her work e that evening, he had already om completed most of his investigation. He returned to her office, carrying a report in hand. Mrs.
Clark, he began, his tone serious, Ive found a lead on the chandelier m ve.
incident. The chandelier was installed by a temporary worker.
However, when I tracked him down.
I discovered he had already died in his rented apartment.
His neighbor noticed something suspicious and alerted the authorities.
The initial police assessment suggests suicide.
Stellas breath caught for a moment as the news sank in.
But she quickly steadied herself, her expression darkening.
Thats far too convenient to be a coincidence.
Somethings definitely off here.
Dexter continued, his tone steady, I dug deeper and discovered that this individual had/connections to a man named Yosef, a known gangster. Yosef is closely linked to someone called Robin.
