Chapter 70
When Love Comes Late
âStella.
Did you take Mr.
Clark to his suite last night?â Fernando asked with concern.
Hearing this, Stella rolled her eyes inwardly.
This man just poked a sensitive spot!
She was trying so hard to forget what happened, but here Fernando was, reminding her of it.
The urge to frown at him was strong.
However, she flashed an even faker smile and uttered, âDonât you think thatâs unnecessary now?
After all, Mr.
Clark is seated here, hale and hearty.
â
A rare trace of embarrassment appeared on Fernandoâs face.
He scratched the back of his head and said, âIâm sorry.
I must have had too much to drink last night, so Iâm still hung over.
â
Stella just pursed her lips at that.
There was a thick cloud of embarrassment hovering over them.
Matthew cleared his throat and said casually, âWe have been in Highwyn for a few days.
Letâs round up with everything today and go back to Seamarsh tomorrow.
â
Stellaâs joy knew no bounds when she heard that.
She clasped her hands and turned to him.
âSir, what would you like me to do for you today?â

The past few days made her realize something.
Working at the office was much better than going on a business trip where she had to see Matthew almost throughout the day.
She was gradually becoming overwhelmed by all this.
Besides, she missed her cousin and friends very much.
Matthew couldnât help frowning when he sensed the joy and enthusiasm in her tone.
He looked up and muttered, âLetâs eat first.
â
âHuh?â Stella couldnât believe her ears.
Did he say that for real?
Ignoring her shocked look, Matthew looked at Fernando and ordered, âShe wants to eat bread.
Go bring her some.
â
It was Fernandoâs turn to be shocked.
His eyes widened as he pointed at himself, trying to confirm if that order was directed at him or someone he couldnât see.
Matthew had already lowered his head, so he saw nothing.
Fernando looked at Stella and then at his boss in utter confusion.
