When Love Comes Late
Chapter 289

Stella’s mind was a mess.

She didn’t know what to do or say.

At the same time, Jeremy also spotted Matthew.

He dragged Stella over to that table and struck up a conversation.

“What a coincidence! Stella and I also came here to have lunch.

If you don’t mind, we can sit at your table.

The more the merrier, right?”

Matthew glared at him in silence.

Then, he raised the menu again.

Stella had worked with him long enough to read most of his actions.

His behavior now told her that he wasn’t pleased at all.

Stella tugged at Jeremy’s sleeve and whispered, “I’m sure he wants to have lunch in silence.

There are many free tables, so let’s sit somewhere else.

”

A wide smile appeared on Jeremy’s face.

He didn’t feel bad at all that his cousin ignored him.

He nodded at Stella.

“You have a point.

Let’s have a table to ourselves.

His choice of words made Matthew feel like an outsider in this situation.

What the hell did Jeremy mean by having a table to themselves?

He was fuming with his lips pursed.

The temperature seemed to drop.

Fernando’s muscles tensed up.

He could tell that his boss was pissed.

He tried to smooth things over in a hurry.

“Please don’t take Mr.

Clark’s silence to heart.

He’s just brooding over work affairs.

You can sit with us.

”

“Is that so?” Jeremy chuckled.

“I thought he was ignoring us because he didn’t want us to sit here.

Appreciate you clearing the air.

”

As he spoke, he glanced at Matthew and pulled out a chair for Stella.

Stella was a little embarrassed.

“I can pull my own chair.

”

“Come on, Stella.

I’m just trying to be a gentleman.

Besides, we are off work for now, so I have to treat you like a lady.

We are friends, aren’t we?” There was still a polite smile on Jeremy’s face.

Stella smiled stiffly and summoned up courage to sit down opposite Matthew.
