Chapter 687
When Love Comes Late
âYou knew that Stella is your wife; why havenât you told her? Youâve had ample opportunities.
Her finding out on her own has led to irrevocable consequences.
â
Matthew parted his lips, wanting to speak.
Yet, in the end, he offered no explanation.
Instead, he made an internal call, instructing Fernando to assist Miley in collecting Stellaâs personal items.
As she prepared to leave, Miley threw a scornful glance at Matthew, who had returned to his work, and departed without uttering another word.
Stellaâs stint at the company had been brief so she had few personal items.
Miley packed them swiftly and exited the office without a backward glance.
Fernando seemed curious, but, sensing the tension between Miley and Matthew, chose not to inquire further.
Once Miley had left, the office was abuzz with speculation.
âStella just nailed Mrs.
Burkeâs project.
Sheâs at the peak of her career.
Why would she leave Prosperity Group? Is she starting her own business?â
âI doubt it.
After all, Mr.
Clark gave her a career lifeline.
She wouldnât just abandon that, would she?â
âI donât think so either.
I sensed a spark between Stella and Mr.
Clark.
Maybe Mrs.
Clark caught on, and Stella had to make an exit.
If she resigned properly, why wouldnât she come back for her belongings?â
For a while, gossip swirled throughout the office, but Matthew remained blissfully ignorant of it all.
He picked up the phone and dialed Flossie.
Having parted ways with Stella the previous day and being aware of Clintâs health crisis, he realized that Stella would no Longer welcome his aid.

Initially, he tried reaching out to Miley for assistance but couldnât get through.
Left with no alternative, he contacted Flossie, who readily agreed to help Stella.
âMr.
Clark.
â
As soon as the call connected, Flossieâs voice jolted Matthew back to the present.
âThank you for assisting me yesterday, but I need your help again,â he said, his tone deep and earnest.
âJust tell me what you need, Mr.
Clark.
â
âStella doesnât wish to see me at the moment.
Could you please bring her some food?â His voice softened.
After all, when Stella was too busy, she often forgot to eat.
âOf course, Iâll go see her right away,â Flossie assured him.
âIf anything happens to her, please tell me as soon as possible,â
Matthew instructed.
