Chapter 431

“Sounds good.

”

After concluding their conversation, Stella received a text from Neville, which contained the location of their meeting: Time Restaurant.

She jotted down the address and resumed her work.

When her workday came to a close, she hailed a taxi to the restaurant and inquired about the designated room.

With the waiter’s guidance, Stella ascended the stairs and opened the door to the room, only to be met with a surprising sight.

Sitting inside was none other than Matthew himself.

He wore a crisp white shirt and his penetrating gaze fixed on her as she entered.

Flustered, Stella hurriedly explained, “Mr.

Clark, Mr.

Pierce asked me to meet him here.

I-“

Matthew nodded calmly and interjected, “Neville informed me.

Please, have a seat.

”

Stella blinked, her bewilderment apparent, and she settled into a chair beside Matthew.

With the door closed, the two were left in solitude.

Stella hadn’t expected Matthew to be present, and she was still reeling from the surprise.

She picked up a glass and took a sip of water to collect her thoughts.

Breaking the silence, Matthew said, “Neville mentioned you’ve prepared a plan for my birthday.

Let me see it.

”

“Of course,” Stella responded, setting down her glass.

She retrieved her tablet PC from her bag and opened the document, all the while explaining her thought process.

As she presented her plan, Stella moved closer to Matthew.

Their proximity intensified the atmosphere between them.

“I anticipate that you might invite business partners to your birthday celebration.

Once you provide me with the guest list, I can arrange the seating accordingly…” Stella spoke earnestly, her focus unwavering.

A subtle change overcame Matthew as he savored the fragrance of her hair.

His throat felt parched, and he couldn’t help but grow warm.

Unaware of Matthew’s inner turmoil, Stella continued her presentation.

“We’ll have a section where the cake is rolled out.

Your wife will push the cake forward, and you’ll pop the champagne, symbolizing your affection and elevating the atmosphere to a crescendo.

”

With the plan outlined, Stella straightened up and looked to Matthew, inquiring gently, “Mr.

Clark, what do you think of this birthday plan?”
