“Mr. Clark, we can leave now.”
“No rush.” Matthew stopped her, turning to the dining room.
“You haven’t had lunch yet. I can wait.”
Flattered, Stella inquired, “Have you eaten, Mr. Clark? Would you like to join me? These dishes were prepared by my grandfather.”
Matthew seemed to anticipate her invitation and accepted graciously.
“I’d be delighted to sample your grandfather’s cooking.”
He pulled out a chair and took a seat.
Stella was astonished, not only by his warmth in referring to her grandfather but also by his relaxed demeanor.

“What are you waiting for? Let’s eat.” Matthew reminded her.
Snapping out of her reverie, Stella set the table and joined him.
After the meal, they left.
As Matthew exited the house, he texted Clint.
“Thank you for allowing us the time alone. Stella will return safely this evening.”
After sending the message, he slid into the car and drove away.

“Fernando?” Stella was surprised.

If Fernando was here, why did Matthew come to fetch her personally?
Fernando simply nodded and handed them life jackets.
“Mr. Clark, please put this on. The yacht is ready.”
Stella, eyeing the yacht at the dock, asked, “Mr. Clark, where are we going?”
“Pearl Island,” Matthew responded indifferently while donning his life jacket.
“It’s rich in pearls and is part of Prosperity Group’s future projects. As the design director, you need to take a look.
It’s also a chance for you to unwind.”
Matthew stood in front of Stella, holding the life jacket.
