When Love Comes Late
Chapter 806

“I’ve sorted things out with Dulce.

We’re not collaborating any longer.

I’m about to drive back.

By the way—”

She was on the verge of mentioning her encounter with Mia when Matthew cut her off.

“Where are you right now?” His voice tinged with urgency, he wasn’t taking any chances.

“I’m still in the hotel’s underground parking lot.

What’s going on?”

Stella was confused by his words.

“I need to know you make it back to the studio safely.

Send me your location,” Matthew insisted.

Stella didn’t argue.

She promptly shared her location and drove out of the hotel’s underground parking lot.

The car hummed smoothly along the road.

Just as she rounded a corner, she spotted a speeding truck coming from the opposite direction.

Her pupils constricted instantly.

She slammed her foot onto the brake pedal, but the car didn’t slow down.

The brakes were unresponsive.

With the truck looming closer and closer, Stella desperately stomped on the brake pedal to no avail.

Sweat coated her palms.

Making a split-second decision, she swerved the steering wheel aside to dodge the oncoming truck.

Her narrow escape didn’t bring any relief.

While continuing to press on the inert brake, she speed-dialed Matthew.

The phone was soon connected.

“Matthew!” Stella blurted out, her eyes fixated on the road ahead.

“The car’s brakes are failing.

I don’t know what’s happening.

There are cars on the road!”

The situation was dire.

Stella’s forehead was slick with cold sweat, her voice quivering.

“Stay calm.

I’m on my way,” Matthew reassured her.

“Try to slow down by going straight.

I’ll be right-“

“Matthew! She couldn’t afford to listen anymore.

Gripping the wheel tightly with both hands, she honked incessantly to alert nearby pedestrians and vehicles.
