When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1289

Yet, Luther’s hopeful look made her pause.

Instead of an outright no, she replied, “I need some time to think about it.

”

After a brief pause, he sighed and said, “I understand your concerns.

”

Just then, a knock interrupted them.

Luther called out, “Come in.

” The assistant entered, followed by Elin, who had tears in her eyes.

Stella’s surprise was palpable as she stole a glance at Luther, taken aback by Elin’s unexpected presence.

“Now that my assistant is no longer here, you can be completely honest,” Luther urged Elin, his voice tinged with seriousness.

Elin hesitated, her gaze shifting nervously between Stella and Luther.

Eventually, she summoned the courage to divulge what she had overheard in the bathroom.

I’ll guide you, and you just need to learn to adapt.

”

Still feeling uncomfortable, Stella nodded reluctantly.

Luther proceeded to escort Stella outside, where he swiftly summoned the entire crew.
