When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1061

As she geared up to leave, Matthew called.

“I’ll be working late tonight.

I’ll send Fernando to pick you up from the set.

”

Stella refused.

‘m done for the day.

Don’t bother Fernando.

I’1L just grab a taxi home.

”

Matthew furrowed his brow.

“You get car sick.

It’s better if Fernando picks you up.

”

“I’ll be fine.

I’ve been doing much better lately.

” As someone called for Matthew, Stella swiftly wrapped up the conversation.

“Don’t worry about me.

Just make sure you eat on time since your stomach has finally settled.

”

Unable to convince her otherwise, Matthew yielded.

“Send me a message when you get home.

I’ll be waiting for you.

”

“Sure.

”

After ending the call, Stella left the film set and hailed a cab.

She decided to take advantage of this rare moment of free time and wandered through the shopping mall, contemplating picking up a few clothes for Lucia.

With Christmas approaching, the mall sparkled with festive decorations, exuding a lively holiday atmosphere.

Stella strolled through the mall, her spirits lifted by the cheery surroundings.

A dress in a shop window caught her eye, and she paused to admire it.

As she was about to step into the store, the reflection of a figure in the glass drew her attention.

She froze mid-step, fixating on the reflection with a growing sense of familiarity.

The man who had ushered her into the car before flashed through her mind, causing her heart to skip a beat.

On high alert, she saw the man starting to walk away and decided to follow him without a second thought.

Stella tailed him quietly and watched as he entered an elevator.

She stopped, waiting until the doors closed before approaching another one.

As the elevator indicator came to a stop on the 28th floor, Stella turned and stepped into her own elevator, pressing the button.

Upon reaching the floor, she hurried out, only to replace the man’s silhouette disappearing into the entrance of the club.

Determined, Stella quickened her pace, but the man seemed to have vanished.

She paused at the entrance and lingered for a bit, but he didn’t reappear.

After a brief hesitation, she approached a staff member.

“Excuse me, I’m looking for a man in a duckbill cap, dressed in black.

Can you tell me which private room he’s in?”
