His hands were in his pockets and his face was straight, so his intimidating aura was stronger than Stella had ever seen.
Although she had been working for him for only a few days, she knew one important detail about him.
Matthew was always cold and indifferent. However, he was far from being quick-tempered.
The only time Stella had seen him lose his cool was when he confronted Henry for his lecherous actions.
Earlier today, Stella couldn’t help but notice that he looked very unhappy. Had someone stepped on his toes again?
Stella suddenly recalled the divorce agreement she had stumbled on in Matthew’s office.
Did his sore mood have anything to do with his marriage? Was he really getting a divorce?
Stella forgot herself as she pondered. Suddenly, Matthew coughed.
She almost jumped back in shock. After swallowing nervously, she asked, “Why are you here, Mr. Clark?”
The second those words rolled off her tongue, Stella toyed with the idea of just cutting it off.
Why did she ask her boss such a question?

With a blank expression, Matthew asked, “What? Can’t I be here?”
“No, I didn’t mean that.” Stella waved her hand and forced a flattering smile.
“I just didn’t expect to see you here since you already have a lot on your plate at work.”

Matthew’s silence and calm look caused Stella to break out in cold sweat.
Just as she was bracing up to receive an earful, Matthew turned around and went straight to the departure lounge without another word to her.
Stella slapped her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
In the VIP lounge, Fernando went to check in their flight. And so, Stella and Matthew were left alone in the lounge.
The atmosphere instantly became awkward.
Stella wanted to ease the atmosphere, so she started to offer him things.
“Mr. Clark, can I pour you a cup of coffee? Would you Like to read the newspaper while you sip the coffee?” she asked softly with a hint of flattery.
Matthew turned to look at her and said coldly, “No.”
With that, he reclined on the chair, intertwined his fingers over his belly, and then closed his eyes for a rest.
Stella breathed a sigh of relief and picked a magazine to read.
