Chapter 325
When Love Comes Late
Stella grew slightly worried, but concealed it by clenching her cup to seem calm.
Jeremy smiled sadistically at her.
âYou seem so scared.
Why? Have you forgotten all about last night?â
Stella asked calmly, âAnything go down last night? Lately, my memoryâs been a bit hazy.
Why donât you fill me in?â
Jeremyâs expression soured, and he clenched his jaw.
âAre you going back on your word?â
Stella grinned innocently.
âIâm not quite sure what youâre getting at.
If youâve got nothing else to say, Iâve got work waiting.
Iâll be heading out now.
â
With that, she turned and strolled past Jeremy.
âStella, if you step out that door, the whole companyâs gonna catch wind that youâre my lover,â Jeremy warned in a frigid tone.
Stella pivoted and sneered, âYour words lack a foundation.
Whoâs gonna swallow your words?â
âYou signed the contract and pocketed the check.
Isnât that proof enough?â Jeremy retorted, enunciating each word deliberately.
Stellaâs face lit up with sudden understanding.
âAh, so this is what youâre referring to.
â
Jeremy arched an eyebrow slightly, his smugness interrupted by Stella.
âBut have you thoroughly reviewed the contract?â Stella gently reminded him.
âIâve already handed the check to Mr.
Clark, along with the explanation that itâs your hard-earned money for the company.
If you wish to retrieve it, you might need to have a word with Mr.
Clark.

âWhat on earth are you talking about?â Jeremyâs tone turned frigid.
âI personally crafted that contract.
How could there be an issue?â
Stella smiled and replied, âYouâll understand once you take a look back at it.
â
With that, she turned and walked away.
Jeremyâs face reddened with rage.
He hurried back to his office, retrieved the contract, and quickly flipped to the signature part with a sense of unease.
