Chapter 426
"Sure." Stella asked while unlocking the safe, "Where should we meet?"
‘I'll meet you at the same cafe where you asked me to be your lawyer for the first time." Marshall said gently, "Be careful on the road. Everybody's getting off work now, and there'll be a lot of cars. It's fine if you come a little late."
Indeed, the traffic jam was as terrible as Marshall said.
It took Stella more than thirty minutes to reach her destination when it was only supposed to take her twenty minutes.
Marshall had already been waiting for some time when Stella arrived at the cafe. He sat at the same place near the window, and he could see everything that was happening on the road clearly.
Stella pulled the chair and softly said, "Sorry to keep you waiting.’
Marshall replied in a gentle voice, "It's fine. I just got off work." Then, he asked, "Would you like anything to drink?"
"I'll have some milk."
Marshall nodded before he said to the waiter, "Please get us a cup of warm milk and a cup of latte with half sugar and no milk."
"You should have some milk too. You'll have a hard time sleeping tonight after drinking coffee."
Stella blurted out and instantly regretted it.
Her relationship with Marshall was not close enough for her to comment on his personal lifestyle.
Keegan would have a cup of coffee in the evening too. Even though he would work more efficiently after that, he would also have a hard time falling asleep at night.
She was too used to controlling Keegan's diet, so she automatically stopped Marshall from ordering coffee without any hesitation.
