Chapter 717
When Love Comes Late
âWe recently designed a dress for Mrs.
Burke.
Thanks to her endorsement, the company Launched a successful promotion.
As a result, Prosperity Group has realized significant profits, and the bonus distribution has been approved.
â
He paused, discreetly studying Matthewâs face for a reaction.
Matthew, however, kept his eyes closed, his expression unchanging.
Taking this as a cue, Fernando ventured cautiously, âMr.
Clark, should I allocate a portion of the bonus to Stella? Even though sheâs resigned, she was the chief designer for Mrs.
Burkeâs project.
â
Before he could elaborate further, Matthewâs eyes snapped open.
In an neutral tone, he declared, âAllocate the maximum proportions of the bonus to her account.
â
Caught off guard, Fernando quickly grasped the implications and nodded.
âSome of Stellaâs belongings are still in the design department.
Theyâve been boxed up.
Should we ask her to collect them, or shall we deliver them to her?â
Matthew drummed his fingers on the table, a subtle frown creasing his brow.
âIâll take them to her,â he finally said.
Fernando, aware of Matthewâs feelings for Stella, had anticipated this response.
âIâll bring you the boxed items right away,â he confirmed.
After Matthewâs nod of approval, Fernando exited the office and returned shortly with Stellaâs belongings.
Most of her personal items had already been collected by Miley, leaving only a few odds and ends, and things Miley probably deemed unimportant.

Matthew eyed the cardboard box, then dialed Stella.
âYouâve got some belongings left at the company.
Iâll bring them over.
Are you home?â
âIâm heading to Mileyâs office,â Stella replied, slightly out of breath, as she was walking.
âIf itâs convenient for you, just send them to Mileyâs company.
â
âOkay.
â Matthew agreed.
After ending the call, he donned his suit jacket and exited the office, box in tow.
As he stepped through the doorway, he encountered Neville.
Neville appeared momentarily startled but quickly reverted to his usual insouciant demeanor.
âPlanning an escape with that box?â he quipped.
