Chapter 21
When Love Comes Late
Vivien must have been waiting for her.
The banquet was still on.
Stella smelled trouble the moment she saw Vivien, so she began to think of how to avoid a fight backstage.
She smiled and asked politely, âIs there anything I can do for you?â
âQuit pretending!â Vivien snarled.
Stellaâs smile melted like ice cream on a hot summer day.
However, she remained as calm and polite as possible.
âSince you donât need anything, Iâll get back to work.
Enjoy the rest of the evening.
â
It was as if Stella emptied a gallon of petrol on Vivienâs raging fire.
Her eyes sparked as she yelled, âDo you think you can talk to me like that because Matthew supports you? Donât you know your place?
How dare you, a mere public relations worker, be so arrogant in front of me?â
Coupled with her beauty, Stella had a charisma that easily made other women jealous of her.
At the thought of how Matthew took Stellaâs side against her in front of so many people, Vivien felt threatened for the first time in her life.
She knew for a fact that Matthew had never given any woman special treatment.
Jealousy was eating Vivien up as she glared at Stella.
She looked as if she was going to tear her apart.
Stella didnât want to make a scene, so she said in a low voice, âIâll keep your words in mind.

With that, she nodded at Vivien and began to walk past her.
She was two steps away when she suddenly staggered forward.
After maintaining her balance, Stella turned her head.
Vivien was stomping on the tail of Stellaâs dress with her shoe.
She uttered arrogantly, âWho said you could leave? Iâm not done speaking yet! Do you not take me seriously? How dare you!â
Stella frowned, with impatience and coldness flashing in her eyes.
Although she wasnât quick-tempered, she couldnât take Vivienâs disturbance anymore.
She stared Vivien dead in the eye and ordered, âGet your foot off my dress.
â
Scowling boldly, Vivien stomped on the dress until it got stained and crumpled.
âIs that all you have got? Do you seriously think I would quake in my boots just because you are glaring at me? Oh, come on! Iâm not afraid.
Even if you report this to Matthew, you will be the one who has to leave.
Mark my words!â
Stella fired back.
