The silence was killing Stella. She began fiddling with her fingers.
On her way back last night, she thought about sending Matthew a gift as a token of gratitude.
She was unable to think of something he might need. After all, the man had it all. It had taken her a long time to come up with this.
The only thing he lacked in his home were paintings to make it lively.
She thought it was a perfect gift, but now, Matthew’s silence was torture.
Perhaps he was just a big fan of minimalist decor. Did she just poke a sore spot?
Just as anxiety was about to get the best of Stella, Matthew cleared his throat and spoke up.
“I’m satisfied with these paintings. You can decide on the rest,” he said indifferently.
Phew! Stella finally resumed breathing.
This approval outside of work brought no less joy than his praises when she solved the PR crisis.
“Okay, Mr. Clark. I’ll see to it right away,” she replied with a smile, bowed slightly, and then left the office.

Ten minutes after Stella left the CEO’s office, she received a message from him via the company’s chat software.
“I have a few personal errands to run today, so I won’t be on seat.
You can go home early.”
Stella jumped at the sight of this.
“Yes!”
A day off was just what she needed.
Since she got to work this morning, she had yawned a hundred times, if not more. Going home to sleep Like a baby was a good idea.
Stella replied with an OK, packed up her stuff, and left the company.
Just a few minutes after Stella left, Matthew received a message from his grandfather, Waldo, ordering him to come back home.
Matthew rushed down without wasting time. When he got in, he saw his grandfather and grandmother sitting in the living room with serious expressions.
