Chapter 209
When Love Comes Late
Stellaâs confusion quadrupled.
Why did her boss suddenly gift her a dress? She didnât remember asking for any.
After minutes of fruitless thinking, Stella decided to go ask him about it.
She knocked on the door and walked in without waiting for a response.
There were multiple documents piled up in front of Matthew at this time.
The blinds were parted all the way, so sunlight fell into the office.
Matthewâs thin lips were pressed together as his head remained lowered.
With a pen, he calmly drew a few circles on the document.
It wasnât until Stella coughed slightly that he finally raised his head and asked, âWhatâs the matter?â
Stella scratched the back of her head and asked cautiously, âI was just wondering why you gave me a dress.
Do I need to attend any upcoming event?â
Staring at her, Matthew spun the pen in his hand as he replied indifferently, âI found out that you saved my motherâs life last night.
That dress is just a token of my gratitude.

Stella was shocked.
âYour mother?â
Her mind went to what happened last night.
Her eyes widened in surprise.
âThat woman who passed out last night is your mother?â
Matthew nodded slightly.
âYes.
â
Never in Stellaâs wildest dreams did she expect such a coincidence.
She saved his motherâs life?
After regaining her composure, she refused politely, âI didnât do what I did to get rewarded.
As a human, Iâm obligated to help others.
You donât have to repay my kindness.
â
Matthewâs bushy eyebrows carved.
He uttered, âI gifted you that dress not only because of last nightâs incident.
Youâve done a good job at work lately, so take the dress as a reward for your hard work.
â
Stella wasnât persuaded.
She shook her head hard.
âItâs also my duty to work hard as an employee here.
Besides, I already received a good bonus last month.
Thereâs no need for anything additional.
