Stella also heard of the news.
She was genuinely pleased for Matthew. His dedication and hard work had paid off, and she was thrilled to see it recognized.
That evening, employees and senior executives piled into the waiting cars, heading for Seamarsh Hotel.
Stella found herself in the same van as Matthew.
When Matthew noticed an empty seat, he asked the deputy director, Sutton Martel, “Where is Jeremy?”

Sutton replied softly, “He’s taken a week’s leave due to illness.”
Matthew nodded, absorbing the information in silence.
Just then, several employees’ phones buzzed simultaneously.
A senior manager whispered, “The bonuses have been disbursed.”
As everyone reached for their phone, Stella did the same.
When she saw the number, her eyes widened in disbelief.
Two hundred thousand?
Stella checked and double-checked, making sure she wasn’t mistaken.
Indeed, the bonus was a staggering two hundred thousand.
Stella felt her heartbeat quicken as she keenly observed the reactions of those around her.
From the looks of it, everyone seemed satisfied with the bonuses they had received.

She was uncertain about the exact amounts others had gotten, but she was fairly certain nobody got the same high amount as hers.
Stella’s face took on a serious expression.
She wondered whether there had been a mistake in the finance department, and made a mental note to speak with the accountants the next workday.
With that thought in mind, Stella hurriedly slipped her phone back into her pocket as if it were a hot potato.
Taking a deep breath, she intentionally steered clear of any conversations about the bonus with her colleagues.
Matthew, seated in the passenger seat, caught sight of Stella’s expression, and his eyebrows knit together.
Stella seemed bothered. Could it be that she was discontent with her bonus?
His confusion increased, and his frown deepened.
