I’ll confront him there for you. That’ll be more reliable.”
“Thank you.” Stella sighed.
Just as she finished speaking, a message from Matthew appeared on her screen.
“Come to my office.”
Stella was surprised upon reading the message.
Ever since their accidental ki*s, she had avoided being alone with Matthew. All updates on design projects were relayed via a workplace software.
Matthew had seemingly been in the same quandary, not summoning her to his office.

Stella wasn’t sure how to face Matthew. What troubled her more was the fear that he would discover her hidden feelings for him.
She had no desire to be a home-wrecker.

Stella retorted instinctively, “Is that part of my responsibilities?”
Without uttering another word, Matthew handed her a brochure.
Confused but compliant, Stella took it.
Matthew continued, “There’s a variety of jewelry at this auction. As head of design, I’d like your input. I intend to gift Mrs. Burke a jewelry set on behalf of Prosperity Group after her commission is complete.”
Stella found no reason to decline.
“When is the auction?” she asked softly.
