Matthew stood and murmured, “I’ll go assist. You can continue reviewing the project proposal.”
Stella said nothing further.
Matthew followed Amara into the kitchen, where she promptly shut the door.

“How could you? Stella is your employee. How could you harbor feelings for her?”
Amara was furious.
She clasped her chest, drew a deep breath, and reminded him, “Matthew, haven’t you forgotten you’re a married man? Maintain your distance from other women!”

Assuming Vivien was preoccupied with work, she had invited her to afternoon tea.
