Fernando never saw this question coming, but he only hesitated for a second before pointing out the one he thought was the best.
Stella nodded with satisfaction.
“Take your time. I have to go,” said Fernando.
Stella waved.
“Okay, thanks for the advice. Sorry for taking up your time. You should head back before Mr. Clark grows impatient.”
In the CEO’s office of Prosperity Group, Fernando put the coffee on the desk.
“What took you so long?” Matthew asked, looking up with a frown.
Fernando explained, “I bumped into Stella at the cafe. It seems she’s preparing for a wedding. I saw her trying to select a good venue and she asked for my opinion.”
This revelation pulled a frown from Matthew.
So Stella requested a few days off because she was planning to hold a wedding.
Confused as to why his boss was suddenly staring into space, Fernando called his name again.
It wasn’t until Matthew saw Fernando lower his head that he snapped out of it. He waved irritably, sending him away.
The moment the door was shut, Matthew swiveled his chair around and faced the French window.
It was a cool day in Seamarsh. Although the sun was out, some of the tall buildings far away stayed hidden in the mist.

Matthew had a splitting headache as he shut his eyes.
His mind went back to the day Stella told him that she and her husband were yet to hold a wedding ceremony.
She stared at the beautiful wedding dress in that display glass for a long time and also spoke about having a wedding with her eyes glistening with longing.
Never did it occur to Matthew that Stella’s wish was going to come true so soon. He thought they were both in the same shoes; that they didn’t love their spouses.
It turned out that his assumption was wrong.
Divorcing his wife wouldn’t change a thing now.
Matthew was never a sucker for love. He thought love wasn’t for him, so he was surprised at himself when he began to pay attention to Stella.
Stella had crash-landed into his life. Everything just happened so fast.
But what could he do?
Right from the moment they met, they had both been married. This wasn’t an instance of two single people meeting and falling in love.
