In the dim light, she was able to see the man clearly. The man standing in front of her was Matthew!
It hadn’t crossed Stella’s mind, even for a split second, that she would bump into Matthew at the exhibition.
Noticing how close they were, she felt her scalp go numb.
Stella shifted away silently and smiled awkwardly.
“Mr. Clark, what brings you here?”
Matthew looked her up and down. After a while, he explained slowly, “A friend of mine is the host of this private exhibition.”
A second after he finished speaking, a staff appeared on stage to apologize and update the guests.

“We apologize for the inconvenience, ladies and gentlemen. There was a sudden blackout in this area.
Repairs are ongoing, so please hang on. We have prepared candles. You can sit on the sofa aside while you wait. Hopefully, power will be restored soon.”
With this speech came the handing out of lavender candles by other staff members. The guests were ushered to sit on the sofas.
A lavender fragrance soon spread in the hall.
Stella and Matthew sat side by side, still not uttering another word to each other.
The dim candlelight made this situation seem inexplicably ambiguous.

Stella wanted to start another conversation, but she was lost. She could only tighten and then loosen her hands, which were resting on her lap.
She straightened her back and looked around, trying to find Miley.
But all she saw were strange faces.
Quickly, she whipped out her phone and sent Miley a message.
“Help!
Where are you? I just met my boss!”
A response came in seconds later.
“I’m currently seated in Area D.
Once power is back on, I’ll go find you. There’s something I have to tell you.”
Stella slid down in her seat and then sat back up.
She tapped on her phone screen as she stole a glance at Matthew from the corner of her eye.
