When Love Comes Late by PASSION

Stella knew Emery referred to Elizabeth and didn’t dwell on the comment.

She was unfamiliar with Emery and couldn’t figure out her intentions.

Nonetheless, she acknowledged her thoughtfulness, responding, “I see.

Puzzled, Stella turned back, meeting Emery’s inscrutable gaze.

“What do you mean by that?”

Emery, leaving without a response, merely waved her hand and departed.

Her cryptic comment lingered in Stella’s mind, puzzling her even as she joined Matthew in the car.

Matthew, noticing her preoccupied look, gently inquired at a red light, “What’s on your mind? Is it work-related?”

Stella, snapping out of her reverie, relayed Emery’s warning to him.

“Emery and I barely know each other, yet she warned me to be cautious around Elizabeth.
