“We recently designed a dress for Mrs. Burke. Thanks to her endorsement, the company Launched a successful promotion. As a result, Prosperity Group has realized significant profits, and the bonus distribution has been approved.”
He paused, discreetly studying Matthew’s face for a reaction.
Matthew, however, kept his eyes closed, his expression unchanging.
Taking this as a cue, Fernando ventured cautiously, “Mr. Clark, should I allocate a portion of the bonus to Stella? Even though she’s resigned, she was the chief designer for Mrs. Burke’s project.”
Before he could elaborate further, Matthew’s eyes snapped open.
In an neutral tone, he declared, “Allocate the maximum proportions of the bonus to her account.”
Caught off guard, Fernando quickly grasped the implications and nodded.
“Some of Stella’s belongings are still in the design department.
They’ve been boxed up. Should we ask her to collect them, or shall we deliver them to her?”
Matthew drummed his fingers on the table, a subtle frown creasing his brow.
“I’ll take them to her,” he finally said.
Fernando, aware of Matthew’s feelings for Stella, had anticipated this response.
“I’ll bring you the boxed items right away,” he confirmed.
After Matthew’s nod of approval, Fernando exited the office and returned shortly with Stella’s belongings.
Most of her personal items had already been collected by Miley, leaving only a few odds and ends, and things Miley probably deemed unimportant.

Matthew eyed the cardboard box, then dialed Stella.
“You’ve got some belongings left at the company. I’ll bring them over. Are you home?”
“I’m heading to Miley’s office,” Stella replied, slightly out of breath, as she was walking.
“If it’s convenient for you, just send them to Miley’s company.”
“Okay.” Matthew agreed.
After ending the call, he donned his suit jacket and exited the office, box in tow.
As he stepped through the doorway, he encountered Neville.
Neville appeared momentarily startled but quickly reverted to his usual insouciant demeanor.
“Planning an escape with that box?” he quipped.
