When Love Comes Late
A few days later, Matthew asked Stella to come to his office.
He gave her an invitation.
When Stella laid her eyes on the invitationâs exquisite cover, she couldnât contain her excitement.
Little had she anticipated that her idea would manifest as the definitive blueprint for the invitation.
The final result boasted exceptional elegance, with the roses appearing strikingly lifelike.
Nonetheless, Stella wondered why Matthew had given her the invite.
âMr.
Clark, may I ask why you gave me this?â
Matthew responded candidly, âDonn and his wife are exceedingly pleased with the invitation.
Upon learning it was your design concept, they have graciously extended a special invitation for you to attend the upcoming art exhibition as an honored guest.
â
âReally?â Stella exclaimed.
The look on her face danced between astonishment and enthusiasm.
Matthew gave an affirmative nod and said, âThe art exhibition is scheduled for tomorrow night.
Prepare yourself to accompany me.
â
âOkay.
â Stella agreed readily.
Donnâs art exhibitions consistently enjoyed a full house.
It was always Stellaâs dream to closely admire his artwork.
To her pleasant surprise, she found herself actively contributing ideas to Donnâs invitation design this time.
An overwhelming sense of contentment and pride welled up in her chest.
The following day arrived.
A discreet black Maybach came to a stop in front of the exhibition venue.
The concierge promptly approached the vehicle and assisted in opening the rear door.
Matthew stepped out of the car and stood beside it.

Dressed in a meticulously tailored black suit, he sported a crisp white shirt that complemented his distinguished and remarkable demeanor.
With a gracious gesture, he made space on his side and extended his hand towards Stella.
Stella, in turn, gently placed her hand into his, gracefully stepping onto the marbled floor.
As she did, her legs and high-heeled shoes peeked out from beneath the white satin dressâs hem.
Exiting the car, she offered a polite nod to Matthew and uttered a heartfelt, âThank you.
â
Just as she was about to retract her hand, Matthew noticed her intent and spoke.
âPlease, maintain your grip on my arm.
Youâre an esteemed guest today; thereâs no need for excessive restraint.
