Chapter 1799
When Love Comes Late
In the elevator, Stella expressed her concerns with a slight sigh.
âYou humiliated Elizabeth like that.
She must be furious.
â
Matthew shrugged off the concern casually.
âIâm only worried about you.
Other peopleâs opinions donât matter to me.
â
Stella still pictured the sullen expression on Elizabethâs face, which lingered in her mind.
Grasping her hand, Matthew reassured her, âIgnore her.
Iâve brought you here for a special reason, a surprise Iâve prepared for you.
â
As he finished speaking, the elevator came to a halt, and he led her out with a hint of mystery.
âWhat kind of surprise?â Stella asked, her tone cautious as she reminded him, âRemember, weâre at the company now.
We should keep our personal matters discreet and not mix them
with business.
â
âItâs business-related,â Matthew replied Lightly.
âWhat is it?â Stella probed, her curiosity piqued.
Matthew only smiled, keeping the details to himself.
âYouâll see soon enough,â he assured her as they reached an office door.
âGo ahead, take a look inside.
â
Stella, puzzled, opened the door and stepped into the office.
It was spacious, brightly lit, and freshly arranged, obviously requiring significant effort.
âI set up this office just for you.
Itâs right below mine.
Do you like it?â Matthew inquired with a hopeful look.
Stella nodded absently, initially overwhelmed, âYes,â she murmured.
However, her practicality quickly resurfaced, and she voiced a concern.
âBut isnât it too extravagant to set up a whole new office for me? Iâm only temporarily managing the Dorburn clothing project.
Once it ends, Iâll be leaving Prosperity Group.
This office will just be left empty.
â
Matthew gently patted her head, dismissing her worries with a soft chuckle.
âNo effort is too great for you.
Itâs not a waste.
â
Stella was moved as she surveyed the office.
Its design was simple yet exuded a warm and welcoming aura, rivaling even Matthewâs CEO office.
The small sofa that she adored and the curtains in her favorite color spoke volumes of Matthewâs attentiveness.
She embraced him gently, mindful of his injuries, and held him close.
Looking up into his eyes, she expressed her gratitude.
âI love this office.
Thank you.
â
Matthew responded with a ki*s, eliciting a blush from Stella as she remembered they were in a professional setting.
Observing her bashfulness, Matthew teased, âShow me some real gratitude, if you mean it?â
Her heart racing, Stella pecked Matthew on the cheek and questioned playfully, âIs that enough?â
