Chapter 587
When Love Comes Late
Stellaâs declaration was unsettling, but then he reasoned that from her perspective, he was just her employer.
Her sentiments were, therefore, justified.
Matthew tightened his fists, struggling against the urge to reveal the truth.
Unaware of his inner turmoil, Stella simply said, âIâll get started on the initial draft for Mrs.
Burkeâs dress now.
â
Just then, her phone rang.
It was from Miley.
She answered the phone immediately, even with Matthew standing there.
Before she could utter a word, Mileyâs urgent plea came through.
âStella, Iâm in Room 601 of Pearl Hotel.
Get here quickly.
â
The line went dead before Stella could ask for details.
Fearing Miley was in peril, Stella wasted no time.
She turned to Matthew and quickly said, âMr.
Clark, an emergency has come up.
Iâll need to take some time off.
â
Sensing her distress, Matthew felt anxious as well.
He had overheard the word âhotelâ and, concerned for Stella, offered, âIâll come with you.
â
âItâs fine, Mr.
Clark.
Thereâs no need for you to be bothered about it,â Stella said reflexively.
Matthew was not taking no for an answer.

âIt could be dangerous.
And your friend didnât sound good.
Iâll drive you there.
â
Stella finally gave in, not willing to disagree anymore.
âALL right, fine.
Thank you, Mr.
Clark.
â
Stella gave him the address and they both got into the car.
Miley was at Pearl Hotel in a private room.
She had drunk way past her limit and used the bathroom as an excuse to call Stella for help.
Immediately she finished speaking with Stella, she was dragged out of the bathroom to go continue drinking.
Jaden Deleon, the host, put his arm around Mileyâs shoulder and placed a glass of wine in front of her.
âMiley! Drink with me.
