Have you gotten any news about him yet?” she asked, her voice slightly shaking.
“No.” A few seconds of silence passed before Fernando spoke up again.
“Don’t tell anyone about the accident until it’s confirmed. His schedule hasn’t been made public yet.”
Stella was in a daze, she couldn’t hear anything Fernando was saying anymore. She pressed her lips tightly together, a wave of depression and sadness hitting her.
They stood in silence until she couldn’t hold her tears back anymore.
“He’ll come back. He’ll be fine. He has to be…” She forced a smile as she wiped her tear stained cheeks.

Looking at Stella made Fernando’s heart break even more.
“Nothing has been confirmed yet, so please calm down. Investigations are still going on.” He held out a few tissues to her.
Stella didn’t accept the tissues. She just stood there staring at nothing. She tried calling Matthew on her phone again.
“Please… Just answer the phone…” Stella kept on muttering that repeatedly as she called.
“It’s no use. His phone has been turned off since this morning.”
Fernando paused, watching her reaction.
“But I’m still in contact with the people over there. No news yet.”
The color on Stella’s face drained completely. She quietly took a few steps back.

Watching her desperate state was too heartbreaking for Fernando. He needed to find Matthew as soon as possible.
“I’ll keep in touch and inform you if there’s any news.”
Stella nodded silently in response.
She walked back to her table quietly. After calling a few more times, she put her phone aside, leaned back in her chair and shut her eyes.
She took deep breaths to calm herself and picked up her pencil to try to distract herself.
She couldn’t draw anything. Her head was blank. The only thing filling it was the situation at hand.
One of her colleagues passed by.
“Why the long face, Stella? You look like one of your family just died,” he joked.
Stella threw the pencil on the table with a lot of force.
“Get out.”
