âThank you.
Iâll continue to work diligently,â she replied politely.
With a courteous nod, Slater took his leave.
Before leaving, he took a deep look at Matthew.
But Matthew did not respond.
Once Slater had left, Stella and Miley decided it was time to tackle the aftermath of their delicious dinner.
They ventured back into the kitchen, rolling up their sleeves to handle the remaining chores.
As Stella reached for a plate to place in the sink, she couldnât help but notice Miley casting an enigmatic smile in her direction.
âJust spill it,â Stella quipped with a grin, before turning on the tap.
Miley, rubbing her chin thoughtfully, finally revealed her thoughts.
âAfter tonight, Iâve noticed that Matthew treats you differently.
â
Stella couldnât help but laugh at Mileyâs observant nature.
âDifferently? How so?â
âDidnât you see it? Matthew only eats the dishes you serve him,â
Miley asserted confidently.
âYouâre special to him, Stella.
â
Stella chuckled again.
