“Matthew seems like a genuinely good employer, coming personally to rescue an employee. I’m afraid if you spend any more time with him, you might unwittingly fall for him.”
Stella froze.
Miley’s observation left her uneasy. She lowered her gaze and mumbled, “That’s not possible.”
Unbeknownst to her, her tone betrayed a trace of guilt.
Two days later, there was still no word on Matthew’s return.
Stella felt increasingly anxious. Part of her wanted Matthew back soon, while another part was apprehensive about what he might want to discuss.
After much contemplation, she took out her phone, she thought about whether to text Matthew or not.
His last message read, “Wait for me to come back, and we can talk.”
Should she respond?
Suddenly, a news alert appeared on her phone, which said a flight from Southeast Asia crashed and 38 passengers died.
Stella stared at the words “Southeast Asia” written on the screen and grew anxious.
The news was live, showing that the plane had fallen into the sea.
The search and rescue team was working double time to get people out, but so many were dead by the time they found them.
Stella rushed to the top floor to find Fernando, her agitation taking the best of her.

The expression on his face didn’t make her feel any better.
He finally hung up and Stella quickly asked, “Is Mr. Clark still in Southeast Asia?”
Her voice came out sounding more agitated than she had expected.
“Mr. Clark is to come back today.” His voice sounded hoarse.
Stella placed her phone in front of him, showing him the screen.
“Was this his flight?”
Fernando looked away.
“Yes.” He practically forced his words out.
Stella almost dropped her phone as her entire body shook uncontrollably.
