When Love Comes Late
He quickly turned around and left.
He was terrified of falling in love and not being able to come out of it or restrain himself.
In the CEOâs office, Fernando diligently worked to dry Matthewâs rain-soaked suit jacket.
A gnawing perplexity plagued him.
Matthew, as he knew him, never indulged in fried chicken.
Why, then, did he venture out into the pouring rain to procure it?
Lately, Matthewâs behavior had become increasingly enigmatic, a complete departure from his usual self.
As Fernando lost himself in thought, the office door swung open.
He swiveled around, spotting Matthew empty-handed.
Had he devoured the fried chicken so swiftly?
Matthew, too, recognized Fernandoâs presence immediately and offered a casual remark.
âYou can call it a day, Fernando.
Iâll drive back later.
â
Fernando frowned, puzzled.
Werenât all business matters attended to?
Why did Matthew remain at the office?
Then, it dawned on him.
Stella was probably working late.
Taking into account Matthewâs recent peculiar attentiveness towards her, Fernando quickly pieced together the situation.
So, the fried chicken had been purchased for Stella.
Fernando stumbled upon a significant secret.

âMr.
Clark, your coat is dry now.
Iâll be leaving.
â
And with that, he made a quick exit.

The office returned to a tranquil state.
Matthew stood there, captivated by the sound of raindrops against the windowpane.
Stellaâs image flashed across his mind once more.
After a prolonged pause, he tore his gaze away and took a seat.
The computer screen displayed a view of Stellaâs office.
She sat at her desk, savoring the fried chicken, engrossed in her phone, which occasionally elicited laughter.
Matthew couldnât help but be influenced by her infectious joy.
A smile graced his lips as he watched.
