“You won’t believe what happened to me. I sprained my elbow and a doctor is currently massaging it.” Stella ditched her serious tone and spoke like a spoiled child.
“It hurts so much that I want to cry.”
Matthew’s eyes darkened.
That must be her husband on the phone seeing as she was acting so cute now.
At this moment, Matthew’s mind went to his wife. Would she ever talk to him like this?
Matthew shook his head with self-mockery.
Why was he expecting anything of such from a woman who was cheating on him? At best, she would do it to that stupid boyfriend of hers!
Jealousy swirled in Matthew’s heart..
Stella wiped the tears from her eyes as soon as she got off the phone. It wasn’t until she could see clearly that she noticed Matthew was staring at her.
Taken aback, she realized that she had just let her guard down and complained like a little girl in front of her boss. Her ears turned red with embarrassment.
She gave a fake smile and said, “It’s late, Mr. Clark. I’m good now.

In the presidential suite, Fernando reported to Matthew seriously, “The airline can only put out another departure time when the typhoon is over. For now, we have to wait.”
Matthew stood up and walked over to the French window. Looking at the dark rainy sky, he said, “In that case, we will stay here for two more days. Throw a party for all the employees this evening.”
“Okay!” Fernando nodded and left to do as he was told.
At seven o’clock in the evening, Prosperity Group employees flocked into the large private dining room one after the other. The senior executives at the Highwyn branch also came.
Matthew was seated at the head of the table. Absentmindedly, he stared at the red wine in his glass as he swirled it.
The cheerful atmosphere was slowly dying down, so the senior executives quickly put Stella in the spotlight.
“Stella, it’s so nice to finally meet you. It’s said that you solved countless crises overseas in the past year. You are amazing!”
