Chapter 665

“Miley… I…

” Caught off guard, Stella floundered for words.

She wanted to explain but found herself at a loss.

The truth was, she had fallen for Matthew.

It was a fact she might have denied to anyone else, but facing Miley, she faltered.

She also knew that her behavior was shameful, but love was a force that could never be tamed.

She hesitated, then finally admitted, “Miley, I know it’s wrong to have feelings for Matthew, but I can’t help myself.

”

Her voice broke as she added, “Would you despise me for it? For falling in love with a married man, who also happens to be my boss?”

Miley reached out and clasped Stella’s hand.

“You have the right to pursue your happiness.

”

But Stella shook her head, her voice laden with regret.

“No, it’s not right.

Even if I were single, it would be wrong to fall for Matthew when he’s already married.

”

She mentally scolded herself, trying to reinforce her own boundaries.

The emotional turmoil was like a knife cutting into her, yet she found herself irresistibly drawn to him.

Just then, Miley blurted, “But yesterday, Matthew…”

Realizing her verbal misstep, Miley hastily swallowed her remaining words.

Stella couldn’t resist inquiring, “Is something amiss with Matthew?”

Miley cast her an awkward glance before diverting her eyes.

“Nothing severe.

Matthew’s assistant phoned me yesterday, wondering why you haven’t been at work.

”

With a furrowed brow, Stella was undoubting as she replied, “I took a few days off.

I should also use this time to consider whether I’1l resign or not.

”

Fearing further suspicion from Stella, Miley refrained from asking more.

Instead, she urged, “Go freshen up and come downstairs for breakfast.

I need to head to the office.

I won’t be joining you for the meal.

”

Stella stopped her.
