The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1698

Hearing the door open, Joshua slowly looked toward the entrance, his eyes meeting Stella's.

Stella froze in her tracks. "Joshua, what are you doing here?"

Her office door had a fingerprint scanner. She hadn't deleted Joshua's print after he left, so she wasn't surprised that he could get in. But for him to be waiting for her here… Abby must have told him. Only Abby knew her entire schedule.

Even knowing this, Stella had never tried to stop it because she trusted Joshua.

In the faint light, Joshua's face was shadowed and unreadable.

His deep gaze fell upon her. "It's been a while. I missed you, so I came to see you."

He said the words "I missed you" so naturally, as if they had been lovers for a very long time.

It had been a while, but really, it had only been a week.

Seeing her standing motionless at the door, Joshua offered a faint smile. "Star, why don't you come in? Are you afraid I'm going to eat you?"

Though he was smiling, they had spent enough time together for Stella to see that he was not in a good mood.

She walked over to him and tried to explain.

"I've been a bit busy lately, so…"

Before she could finish, Joshua's voice cut her off.

"Busy meeting with Neville?"

Stella's eyes widened, and she shot a look at him.

Joshua stared back, unblinking. His dark eyes radiated an intimidating pressure, his gaze unusually sharp.

The air in the room grew heavy, making it hard to breathe.

They locked eyes for several seconds before Stella finally broke the silence.

"Neville just got back from a business trip. He just invited me to dinner."
