They were not a couple at all!
Smiling, the waitress handed the developing photo to Matthew.
“Here you go, sir.”
Matthew accepted it, his gaze fixed on the snapshot in his hand.
The photo captured the vibrant city night as the backdrop. Stella, dressed in a simple business suit, sat across from him, a smile gracing her lips.
The atmosphere was different from their usual serious and distant encounters; it held a hint of warmth instead.

Matthew’s satisfaction was undeniable.
He glanced at the waitress and said, “I’ll have this photo. If there’s a cost, just put it on the tab. No need for any special deals.”
The waitress was taken aback, but she trod carefully, giving him a small nod.
As she departed, she couldn’t help but comment, “You two make such a perfect pair. Wishing you all the happiness.”
Matthew tried to appear composed, yet a hidden joy tugged at his heart.
Embarrassment and unease picked at Stella’s nerves.

She longed to clarify her relationship with Matthew, but the waitress had already vanished.
Stella sneakily stole a glance at him, her heart fluttering with relief as she noted his unguarded expression.
She calmed her racing thoughts. Maybe she had a clue about his intentions. Summoning her courage, she took the plunge and broached the subject herself.
“Mr. Clark, if it’s alright with you, could you pass me that photograph? I promise to dispose of it.”
Matthew’s gaze slid over Stella indifferently, and he casually slipped the photograph into his pocket without uttering a single word.
Stella’s brow furrowed as confusion set in. What was he playing at?
Before she could gather her thoughts and muster the courage to ask him, the waitress approached their table with a tray of delectable dishes.
Stella was forced to seal her lips shut.
“The dishes are all set for you. Enjoy your meal,” the waitress chirped cheerfully before departing.
As the dinner progressed, Matthew savored each bite at a leisurely pace, seeming unfazed by the weight of the situation.
Stella, on the other hand, wrestled with her own inner turmoil. The gnawing uncertainty gnawed at her, making her question Matthew’s motives.
Unable to contain her curiosity any longer, she finally gave in and spoke up.
