Chapter 11
When Love Comes Late
Stella agreed.
âOkay, Iâll bring Maverick along.
â
Oliver didnât like Stellaâs husband, and he never hid it.
âSoothe yourself.
â
After getting off the phone, Stella cleared the typed text and made a new one.
She read the message a couple of times.
After making sure she made no errors in the location and time, she hit the send icon.
A reply came moments later.
âOkay, see you there.

Stella checked the time after she received that message.
It was time to get off work.
She headed straight to the restaurant.
In Joyful Restaurant, Stella saw someone waving at her as soon as she walked in.
It was Oliver.
He was seated with his girlfriend, Juliette Davis, at a large table.
Oliver was leaning in so close to Juliette and staring as if he wanted to gobble her up.
Stella wasnât even surprised by that.
As she got seated opposite them, she placed her bag on the table and joked, âCan you two stop making everyone else jealous with your intense PDA?â
Juliette shyly fiddled with her long curls which were similar to Stellaâs.
She raised her eyebrows and teased, âTwo can play the game, so do this with your husband.
â
After saying that, she looked behind Stella and asked, âWerenât you supposed to come along with your hubby? Where is he? Is he shy because he will be meeting us for the first time?â
Stella picked up the menu and said, âHeâs on his way.
â
âHeâd better be!â Oliver snorted.
âHe seems to have a thing for standing people up.
â
His dissatisfaction with Maverick was obvious and undisguised.
Stella gave him a murderous glare and placed her index finger over her lips.
âShush!â
She set down the menu and gave him a harder look.
âYouâd better be on your best behavior when he gets here.
Donât start a fight, okay?â
