She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
“Was that your boss? He is so handsome that I’d have mistaken him for a model!” Perry sighed.
Stella didn’t get the time to reply to his statement as her phone buzzed. She took it out, only to find a message from Maverick.
“Something just came up. I can’t meet you today. Let’s talk some other day.”
Within seconds, her face darkened and her eyes narrowed at the message. She had a sneaky suspicion that Maverick was getting back at her for standing him up a few days ago.
How petty!
At this moment, the very last piece of good impression Stella had of Maverick disappeared into thin air.
She thought for a while and replied angrily, “How typical! Luckily for me, I didn’t bother coming out.”
Perry, who noticed her frown, moved closer and asked, “What did your husband say?”
“Nothing,” Stella replied sourly.
She put away her phone, flipped her hair back, and ditched her frown.
“He won’t be coming today. You can leave now.”

Stella was so done dealing with him or anyone else, so she breathed hard before saying, “I’m having a meal with Miley. If you wish to join us, just come along instead of asking too many questions.”
Without waiting for a response, she walked straight to the private dining room.
In the private room, Miley was surprised that Stella returned so soon.
“How did it go? What does Maverick look like? Did he tell you why he wants a divorce? Give me the tea, girl!”
Stella rubbed her temples and said, “Don’t even get me started. Can you believe that he texted me saying that he can’t make it anymore?”
Hearing this, Miley slammed her glass on the table and flared up.
“Does that jerk have a screw loose or something? Why does he take some much pleasure in standing you up? Enough is enough, Stella. You have to sign that divorce papers today. Give me your phone. I need to speak to that jerk!”
“Forget it. There’s no love between us and we don’t even know each other, so divorce is going to happen either way. Let’s just eat first,” Stella said calmly, pulled out a chair and sat down.
“I’m so famished that I could eat a horse. My energy level is so low.”
She forked a chunk of meat and stuffed it into her mouth.
Sensing that Stella didn’t want to dwell on this topic, Miley decided to drop it. She just had dinner with her in silence.
