The sight of his strong, broad back filled her with a sense of relief.
After Stella took Miley out, Matthew securely shut the door behind him.
The resonant sound of the door closing sent another shiver through everyone present.
Matthew’s smile dissipated slightly as he rang a bell to summon the waiter for the wine.
It was only then that Jaden grasped the severity of the situation.

Matthew gestured for the waiter to stay and lifted his chin slightly, instructing, “Bring some glasses and fill them all.”
He enunciated each word, his voice icy.
Jaden was so unnerved that he fell to his knees.
Matthew looked at him dispassionately and added, “If you refuse to drink, I can have someone here do it for you. Pick anyone you Like.”
With these words, Matthew surveyed the room with a chilly gaze.

Upon uttering these words, he hesitantly took a glass from the waiter, closed his eyes, and downed it in a single gulp.
Matthew commanded unemotionally, “Continue.”
Jaden hesitated as he set down the glass, his body tense.
The waiter promptly handed him another glass.
