When Love Comes Late

She was on the brink of tears as she wondered how Stella was able to wriggle out of this.

After glaring at her for a long time, Matthew scanned all the faces in the office and said, “Let this serve as a warning to all of you.

Your job is to better the brand image and solve crises, not cause a mess.

If you can’t do your job well, tender your resignation and go to the financial department for your severance pay!”

His voice wasn’t loud, but it was firm and intimidating.

It made everyone shudder.

No one dared to look up or speak.

Luna couldn’t help feeling that Matthew’s warning was directed at her.

She clenched her fists and murdered Stella with her eyes.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Matthew had never scolded her before, let alone in public.

Things only changed after Stella resumed work here.

Luna believed Stella must have badmouthed her in the meeting room.

At the thought of this, Luna’s hatred for Stella quadrupled.

Her blood was boiling as if someone lit a torch in her veins.

Matthew left after giving them a piece of his mind.

In his wake, a heavy silence fell in the office.

All the employees were shaken up and went about their day on pins and needles.

Hours later, it was a few minutes to closing hour.

Stella took out her phone and clicked on the chat box between her and Maverick.

Her fingers hovered over the keyboard as she pondered.

Finally, she decided to invite him to dinner.

Although their marriage wasn’t that of Love and she hadn’t wanted to marry him, she figured that she might as well get to know him since there was no turning back.

She was just about to hit send when her phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from Oliver.

Stella answered it.

As soon as she pressed the phone to her ear, Oliver rambled about his plans.

“Ella, I have booked us a table at Joyful Restaurant.

See you at half past seven tonight.

”

“But I already—”

Oliver interrupted her, “No buts, Stella.

You have been away for a long time.

We have to celebrate your return.

Lest I forget, Juliette will be there too.

Don’t stand us up.

If you refuse, I’ll drive down to your company and drag you there myself!”

Oliver wasn’t one to bluff.

His tone indicated that he was going to make good his threat.
