He pressed the elevator button and entered with her, conveying, “Mr. Clark is currently in an important meeting. You might have to wait outside for a little while.”
Stella simply nodded in acknowledgment.
She found a chair in the lounge, leaned back, and slowly closed her eyes. Her mind was filled with growing doubts about Farris’ suspension.
Was Matthew truly behind this?
And if so, why did he resort to such measures? Couldn’t he have communicated with her first?
If her husband really did it, how could she face Farris in the future?
The uncertainty weighed heavily on her, leaving her increasingly restless and irritable.
As the clock ticked toward seven in the evening, Stella continued to wait anxiously. Finally, the door to the meeting room swung open.
Matthew, having been informed by Fernando of Stella’s presence, hastened to conclude the meeting, eager to see her.
It was the first time she had come to the company to meet him since her resignation, and Matthew’s heart was filled with delight.
Ever since their argument the previous night, he had been consumed by a sense of melancholy. He had been longing for an opportunity to have a conversation with her, to mend the rift between them.
With excitement and a warm smile adorning his face, he pushed open the door to the lounge.

Matthew’s icy gaze swept across the assembled individuals one by one.
Immediately, they lowered their heads and hastily vacated the premises.
Without a word, he turned and strode towards his office, with Stella following closely.
The two entered the office, taking their seats, and faced each other in silence.
Matthew’s eyes bore into Stella’s, waiting for her to speak first.
Stella broke the silence, her voice filled with urgency.
“Matthew, did you have a hand in getting Farris suspended?”
She gazed at Matthew, hoping for a denial.
