Chapter 788
When Love Comes Late
Just as she was about to summon a taxi, she spotted Matthewâs car pulling up.
He alighted briskly and made a beeline to her.
Stella pushed through the ache in her temples and approached Matthew with a smile.
The moment she moved, Matthew rusheds toward her, enfolding her in his arms.
Catching a potent whiff of alcohol, he frowned.
âWerenât you discussing the design draft? Why did you drink so much?â
His voice carried a mix of concern and irritation.
Stella looked up and blinked lazily.
âWeâve secured preliminary cooperation.
Thatâs why I drank,â she said, her words tinged with the scent of liquor.
Matthew tightened his grip around her waist.
âLetâs get you in the car first.
â
He guided her gently to the passenger seat, then retrieved a bottle of water from the back.
âHere, take a sip to hydrate,â he instructed, bringing the bottle to her lips.

Feeling slightly refreshed, Stella massaged her temples and gifted Matthew with a smile.
Matthew, however, looked pained.
âWhat did Dulce ask for?â
His tone was tinged with a latent anger.
Oblivious to his mood, Stella rummaged through her bag for her notebook.
âIâve documented their requirements here.
â
Matthew skimmed the notes, his frown deepening into a scowl, concern etched on his face.
Sensing his reaction, Stella grew anxious.
âIs there something wrong?
Is there any problem?â
Did she jot down something incorrectly?
