Chapter 594
When Love Comes Late
Stella held Miley up as she opened the car door, helping her get in.
When Stella raised a water bottle to her lips, Miley drank to her fill before pushing Stellaâs hand away and leaning back in her seat with her eyes closed.
She felt a bit less drunk now.
Stella screwed the lid of the bottle back on as she stared at Mileyâs pathetic state, feeling sorry for her.
She removed the hair strands that were stuck to Mileyâs lips.
âMiley, why were you drinking with those men?â
Miley turned to face Stella, seeing the worried look on her face.
A few seconds of silence went by before Miley answered, âMy company is falling apart.
I canât tell my parents about it.
Theyâre all the way abroad, and I donât want to worry them.
â
âI thought everything was going great!â Stella was shocked.
âWhat happened? And why didnât you just come to me?â
She remembered how Miley had taken care of her at the hospital every day after her accident.
Meanwhile, she had no idea that her friend was suffering.
Stella felt horrible.
Miley answered, âIt all started when Linda refused to renew her contract after it expired.
She wanted to pursue her studies overseas.
And basically all the companyâs partners think highly of Linda and her ability.
After she left, the rest began to leave slowly.
And itâs not like the company makes so much money.
â
A small bitter smile formed on her face as she said the last part.
âSo I tried to see if I could get any form of investment out of those men.
â
Stella could feel her heart break into a million tiny pieces.

She pulled Miley into a tight hug.
âWhy were you suffering alone?
What are friends for? Why didnât you tell me?â
âHow could I drag you into it? Itâs not like youâve had it so great either.
Youâve been going through stuff of your own.
Besides, it wouldnât have been good for your health.
â
Stella broke the hug and looked at Miley straight in the eye.
âI promise you, Iâm going to find a way to help no matter what.
â
As if on cue, the driverâs door opened.
Matthew got in the car.
He closed the door behind him and looked at them through the rearview mirror.
Stella and Miley were holding hands and topped talking.
