When Love Comes Late
Chapter 368

I was about to call the police.

” Miley spoke with a note of panic.

Stella averted her gaze.

She fabricated a casual lie.

“On my way back last night, I encountered a landslide.

I found a nearby hotel in Fairwa and spent the night there.

”

“Why couldn’t I reach you on the phone then?”

Stella retrieved her phone and attempted to power it on, but the screen remained black.

“It ran out of battery.

”

“You frightened me!” Miley admonished her with concern.

“From now on, always carry a power bank with you when you go out.

Don’t make it impossible for me to reach you.

”

Stella nodded obediently, refraining from offering any retorts.

After exchanging a few more words with her, Miley headed to work.

Following breakfast, Stella began working on her designs.

Once the initial draft was completed, she meticulously marked the required materials and then proceeded to refine the design on her drawing board.

Since Matthew had suggested she take a day off to work from home, she was determined to complete the task as swiftly as possible.

Stella finally finished the final sample drawing by evening.

She stretched her weary body.

At that moment, her phone buzzed, signaling a new message from Maverick.

He inquired, “What are you doing right now?”

Stella glanced at the message on her phone and knit her brows in mild perplexity.

Over the past few days, Maverick had been inquiring about her activities at odd intervals, leaving her increasingly baffled by the man’s intentions.

With her design sketches spread out across the table, Stella responded succinctly, “I’m preparing for the design competition.

”

She selected a sketch from her collection and forwarded it to him before placing her phone aside to focus on her work.

She half-expected that Maverick would cease his correspondence once he knew she was preoccupied.

However, her phone buzzed again shortly thereafter.
