Chapter 622
When Love Comes Late
Iâll confront him there for you.
Thatâll be more reliable.
â
âThank you.
â Stella sighed.
Just as she finished speaking, a message from Matthew appeared on her screen.
âCome to my office.
â
Stella was surprised upon reading the message.
Ever since their accidental ki*s, she had avoided being alone with Matthew.
All updates on design projects were relayed via a workplace software.
Matthew had seemingly been in the same quandary, not summoning her to his office.
She had assumed they could finally maintain a professional working relationship.
But nowâ¦
Stella wasnât sure how to face Matthew.
What troubled her more was the fear that he would discover her hidden feelings for him.
She had no desire to be a home-wrecker.
Stella snapped out of her daze only when Mileyâs persistent calls on the other end finally broke through.
âMiley, something urgent has come up.
I have to go,â she said hastily before hanging up.
After a moment of hesitation, she sent an âokayâ in reply and shut down her computer.
She glanced at her desk, pondering briefly, then picked up the draft design for Mrs.
Burkeâs dress and proceeded to Matthewâs office.
She knocked and entered, locking eyes with Matthew who sat behind his desk.

âMr.
Clark, how may I assist you?â
Matthew looked up and responded, âBe prepared.
Youâre accompanying me to Redmanâs auction.
â
Stella retorted instinctively, âIs that part of my responsibilities?â
Without uttering another word, Matthew handed her a brochure.
Confused but compliant, Stella took it.
Matthew continued, âThereâs a variety of jewelry at this auction.
As head of design, Iâd like your input.
I intend to gift Mrs.
Burke a jewelry set on behalf of Prosperity Group after her commission is complete.
â
Stella found no reason to decline.
âWhen is the auction?â she asked softly.
