I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 994

Chapter 994: Clarify Before Starting

When Stella met Luca's gaze, her expression instantly turned cold. She asked in a stern voice, "Where's Meggie?"

Luca stood up and looked at Stella, speaking softly, "She went out to buy something. She should be back in a moment. Wait here."

Olivia subconsciously took a couple of steps backward as Luca approached her.

Upon seeing Stella's reaction, Luca stopped in his tracks. "I won't come over. Just sit here for a while. She'll be back soon. Or maybe you can call her?"

As Luca spoke, Stella picked up her phone and dialed Meggie's number.

Meggie answered quickly, "Stella, are you here? Wait for me at home; I'll be back in about ten minutes."

The moment the call connected, Meggie's voice came through the phone.

Stella replied, "Okay."

As Stella was about to hang up, Meggie's voice came through again, "Oh, I forgot to tell you that Luca is there too. If you feel uncomfortable, you can wait downstairs, and we'll eat outside."

Stella glanced at Luca, who was awkwardly standing on the side, and replied, "It's okay, I'll wait here."

Meggie confirmed, "Alright, I'll be back soon."

Luca stood there as Stella ended the call. "Wait here for a while," he said before turning and heading to the guest room.

Stella watched the door close after Luca entered the room. She then turned around and sat on the living room sofa.

Meggie said ten minutes, and it was indeed ten minutes. She entered the house without even changing her shoes. When she saw only Stella sitting in the living room, Meggie couldn't help but sigh with relief, "Stella, were you waiting anxiously?"

Stella looked at Meggie and replied softly, "It's fine. Did you go out?"

Meggie returned to the entrance to change her shoes, "I went out to buy some things. I thought you'd be having dinner here tonight, so I got some food you like."

After changing her shoes, Meggie brought the things into the kitchen and then came out to sit next to Stella. When she didn't see Luca, she asked, "Did Luca leave?"
