When Love Comes Late -
Chapter 996
The Fairwa project was completed without any more issues.
Those people wouldn’t try to do anything again, would they?
Jeremy and Charlene couldn’t protect themselves.
They shouldn’t have the time to attempt troubling him.
Matthew’s hardened gaze softened once he looked at the worried state Stella was in.
He smiled reassuringly at her.
“I’ll Look into it.
Just make sure to take good care of yourself.
”
He placed a gentle ki*s on the corner of her lips before Loosening his grip on her to let the manager in.
The manager walked in carefully.
Hurriedly bowing his head, he apologized, “Mr.
Clark, our sincerest apologies.
What happened today is totally our fault.
I will get to the bottom of it.
I genuinely hope you give me the chance to make it up to you and Mrs.
Clark.
”
Matthew had spent a lot of money to rent the restaurant’s entire top floor.
How could they make such a silly mistake? The CEO of Prosperity Group got stuck in their elevator.
If the news spread out, he would lose his job as the restaurant’s manager, not to mention the impact it’d have on the restaurant itself.
Matthew stared at him indifferently.
“I want all the surveillance footage of today sent to Prosperity Group.
”
The manager was stunned for a few seconds.
Relief washed over him when he realized Matthew wasn’t blaming him or anything.
“ALL right, Mr.
Clark, I’ll make sure this is handled well for you.
”
With a quick nod, Matthew dismissed the manager.
The manager walked out, as silence filled the lounge once more.

Matthew turned to Stella.
Seeing that she was still worried, he masked his own worry to make her feel reassured.
He playfully pinched her cheek.
“So what did you and Mateo discuss after I went to the bakery? Is there anything I need to know?”
His words snapped her out of her trance.
She looked up at him, her gaze met his concerned one.
Mateo had told her to have a heart-to-heart conversation with Matthew.
But she just couldn’t; he still had a lot of things to deal with which hadn’t all been solved.
Plus the whole elevator accident.
It would only burden him more if she told him about her condition.
Stella shook her head and faked a genuine smile.
“There’s nothing.
I talked with him about what happened before.
I asked you to go downstairs because I wanted to eat the cake.
”
Matthew could tell she wasn’t saying the entire truth.
The nervous and guilty look in her eyes gave her away.
But he didn’t want to push her into talking if she truly didn’t want to.
“Where would you like to eat? Here or back at home?” he asked through a small smile.
“Let’s go home,” Stella said as she sighed in relief.
She just wanted to go home after what happened.
