She took her phone out and pretended to be doing something.
Matthew noticed how distant she was being, and a small frown made way to his face.
He tried to say something but was cut off by his phone ringing.
Lucia was calling him.
Matthew was confused as he answered the phone.
“I just got off the phone with Stella and she prepared a gift for your birthday!” Lucia exclaimed.
His face softened as he glanced at Stella. The thought of her getting him a gift warmed his heart.
He managed to subdue his smile.
“That’s nice.”
“Anyway, it’s supposed to be a surprise, so don’t let her know I told you,” Lucia reminded.
“Okay.” Matthew hung up the phone. He was overjoyed.
He forgot about how he was being ignored purposely by Stella.
He stole a quick glance at her again.

Matthew realized that she was about to get on the elevator and he impulsively stopped her.
“Wait.”
“Yes, Mr. Clark?”
“Let’s go out later.”
Stella blinked at him in pure confusion.
There wasn’t anything about going out on his schedule today. It was definitely for private matters.
Stella stood there, thinking of a way she could reject the offer when he spoke up again.
“It’s to get a gift for my wife. I would take Fernando but I feel like you would know more about what women like.”
Stella immediately eased up, sighing in relief.
