The drama currently showcased a storyline involving infidelity.
Setting down her beer, Stella felt a pang of sadness.
She started to regret her actions.
She had known from her first day at work that Matthew was a married man. Why had she fallen for him?
Additionally, Maverick was making sincere efforts to mend their relationship. How could she be so disloyal?
With a forlorn expression, Stella took another sip of her beer.
As the drama continued to unfold on her tablet, she felt like she was the nefarious supporting character, unable to appreciate what was truly valuable. She was a woman guilty of an unforgivable emotional betrayal!
Stella couldn’t gauge how much beer she’d consumed before finally falling asleep.

Miley sat at the edge of the bed, her voice tinged with urgency.
“Stella, wake up. I just saw a news report saying something happened to Matthew.”

Rubbing her forehead, Stella shook her head with difficulty.
“No, that’s not true. I saw him at the office last night. He’s fine.
“The media loves to fabricate stories.” Relieved, Miley sighed and switched off her phone, visibly annoyed.
Stella dropped her head, feeling lethargic.
Suffering from a splitting headache, courtesy of the hangover, she lay back down, planning to catch more sleep.
Surveying the room, Miley noticed several beer bottles near the trash can.
Frowning, she admonished Stella, “Why did you drink beer? You’re still healing from your injury. Why drink so much?”
Stella massaged her temples and half-opened her eyes, her mind muddled with hazy recollections from the previous night.
“I’m not feeling well, Miley. I’m taking the day off,” she mumbled.
Miley touched her forehead to check for a fever and asked, “Are you alright? Do you need to go to the hospital?”
“I’m fine, just need some rest. You can go to work.”
Miley observed Stella’s pallor but chose not to press the issue.
“Rest up. Call me if you need anything,” she said before tucking Stella in and leaving.
