When Love Comes Late

During the drive, Robin omitted details that would reflect poorly on him and instead exaggerated the situation to Matthew.

“I was discussing the sales channel with Stella, and unexpectedly, she started drinking with Jack.

They seemed to enjoy their drinks together.

Robin kept the conversation going.

“Thinking about Stella’s ties with the Clark family, I tried to convince her to return, but she flatly refused.

Later, she ended up drinking too much.

Before long, a man approached and led Stella away in front of everyone.

What impression did that make?”

“What could I do? They seemed so close.

Matthew didn’t utter a word, only giving Sanford a frosty stare.

Robin, oblivious to the brewing tension, kept fanning the flames.

He pointed at Sanford and accused boldly, “Yes! He’s the one who took Stella.

”

He then started maligning Stella.

“Stella’s so carefree.

She’s already chasing after another man and she isn’t even divorced yet.

”

Matthew’s brow furrowed, signaling his growing irritation.

Seeing this, Lindsay patted Robin’s arm and scolded him.

“Quiet! Stella is like my sister-in-law.

You’ve stirred up quite the mess.

How could you speak about her in such a manner?”
