When Love Comes Late

“The threats from the animal rights activists had been a great source of worry to us.

If not for you, things would have ended in a disaster yesterday.

”

The senior executives were all smart.

They heard of how Stella, who had just gotten transferred to the headquarters, had a clash with Vivien-the woman whom they knew to be close to Matthew.

Word had gotten to them that Stella not only cleared the air, but also received a public apology from Vivien.

Stella had won even though the odds were against her.

It appeared that she was in Matthew’s good books.

As a result, the senior executives decided to fawn over her.

“I’m flattered, gentlemen.

” With all modesty, Stella held her chest.

“However, I can’t take all the credit for the success of the exhibit.

You all played pivotal roles.

More so, I just followed an already laid down path.

”

Stella remained down-to-earth in front of the boss.

The senior executives are happy with her response.

“You are beautiful, modest, and capable.

A real talent! Mr.

Clark knows his onions.

”

After saying a few flattering words, one of the senior managers suddenly asked, “Stella, if you don’t mind me asking… You were doing so well abroad.

Her smile made it seem as if she was happily married.

But in her head, she complained bitterly.

It turned out her move was all for nothing.

Maverick was going to divorce her.

If she had known things would turn out this way, she wouldn’t have bothered coming back.

What a waste of her precious time!

Oblivious to what was going on in Stella’s mind, Matthew was reminded of his own marriage as he stared at her happy expression.

How unfair!

He felt inexplicably irritable and gulped down the wine in his glass.

The party became more and more lively as those present chatted about many things.

At a point, one of the workers at the Highwyn branch stood up and raised a toast to Stella.

“Stella, it was fun working with you on this project.

I hope we can have more of that in the future.

To Stella!”

As the others cheered with their glasses raised, someone handed Stella a glass that she couldn’t refuse.

Just as she raised the glass to her mouth, a deep male voice sounded beside her.

“Stella was injured yesterday.

She’s currently on medication, so she can’t drink.
