Chapter 287
When Love Comes Late
There were clues that Matthew and Jeremy didnât get along well Like normal cousins.
The last thing Stella wanted was to be caught in the crossfire of something that wasnât her business.
As a result, she tried to make light of her encounter with Jeremy last night.
Matthewâs eyes seemed to widen a little.
A couple of other questions were on his mind.
However, he bit his tongue and kept quiet.
He didnât want to arouse Stellaâs suspicion or make her think he was jealous.
âThere are a couple of precautions concerning the art exhibition that I want you to take note of.
â Matthew finally got back to business.
Stella sat up straight and listened with rapt attention.
âLast time, some reporters waited outside the exhibition hall.
I donât want a repeat.
Make sure no info leaks out.
Also, confirm the participants ahead of time.
Thatâs all.
â
Stella typed the last word on her notepad and saved it.
âIn that case, I had better get to work,â she uttered, standing up.
âOkay,â Matthew replied indifferently.
His eyes narrowed as he watched her leave.

He reasoned that he had to protect her.
He didnât want to take chances with Jeremy.
That guy was just like his scheming mother, Charlene.
As soon as Stella left the boardroom, she contacted one of Donnâs staff and they went over the List of participants.
It was already noon by the time she was rounding up with the task.
Famished and tired, Stella decided to go grab something to eat first.

She was waiting for the elevator when the person she least wanted to see appeared.
After cursing her luck, she faked a smile and greeted politely, âHello.
â
âAre you on your way out for lunch?â Jeremy asked, taking a look at his watch.
Stella nodded.
âLetâs go together.
â With a smile on his face, Jeremy put his hands in his pockets and stood beside her in wait.
This made her uneasy.
Thinking back to how Matthew had been so curious about what happened last night, Stella felt her scalp tingle.
âI-â
The expression on her face as she began hinted to Jeremy what she was about to say.
