He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 4

She heard it was because he was worried Chloe wouldn't adapt well as a newcomer, so he took her out to build a rapport with the team.

They hadn't returned to the office since.-

So Stella highly doubted Jarrod would have time to come home for dinner.

But driven by Mrs. Higgins's nagging, she politely sent him a text.

[Mr. Fuller, will you be coming back to The Sterling Residences for dinner?]

Surprisingly, Jarrod replied, [Busy. No time.]

The exact answer she had expected.

Stella forwarded the screenshot to Mrs. Higgins, who immediately started lecturing her, "If the master has no time to come home, why don't you bring it to him? What kind of wife are you!"

The housekeeper had been sitting on a pile of grievances since morning, and arguing with her now would only escalate the tension.

Exhausted from dealing with her, Stella sent Jarrod another message.

[Would you like me to drop it off?]

She fully expected him to decline, but instead, he sent her the location of The Fuller Group.

[I have an important meeting at seven. Have it here before then.]

Stella stared at the screen. "..."

At half-past six in the evening, Stella arrived at the imposing Fuller Group headquarters, carrying a thermos container.

Led by the receptionist, she made her way into Jarrod's office.

The sky had already grown dark outside. Neon lights flashed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, while the office itself was brightly lit.

Jarrod sat at his desk, signing documents. He was still wearing the same dark sweater from that morning, the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, the light catching the expensive gleam of his watch.

Even a simple gesture like signing his name exuded the composed, aristocratic aura of a man in power.

In their nearly three years of marriage, this was the first time Stella had visited his office, and the first time she had seen him working.

She felt slightly out of place.
