Chapter 40
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 40<\/p>\n
Bantering back and forth, Jarrod and Chloe walked off together, with the assistant tactfully trailing behind them.<\/p>\n
Stella was left standing completely alone.<\/p>\n
Leaning against the wall, it took a long time for her racing heart to calm down.<\/p>\n
After lingering for a few more minutes, Stella figured Jarrod and Chloe had safely returned to the private room and turned to head back herself.<\/p>\n
To her surprise, Cassidy found her first.<\/p>\n
Radiating absolute joy, Cassidy sprinted over. “Stella! Weren’t you just going to the restroom? How did you end up out here? I waited forever for you to come back!”<\/p>\n
Stella shook her head. “It’s nothing, I just needed some fresh air. Looking at you, it seems like you have some amazing news?”<\/p>\n
“I do!”<\/p>\n
Cassidy couldn’t contain her excitement. “Mr. Fuller left, but before he did, he announced that our team worked incredibly hard, and he had a special reward prepared for us\u2014brand-new laptops for everyone!”<\/p>\n
“His assistant just brought them in. They’re the absolute latest models, maxed-out specs! Mr. Fuller is incredibly generous; this is way better than a standard bonus!”<\/p>\n
Stella was stunned.<\/p>\n
Jarrod actually bought every single one of her team members a top-of-the-line laptop?<\/p>\n
“Fess up, did you secretly ‘convince’ Mr. Fuller to do this?” Cassidy asked, wiggling her eyebrows.<\/p>\n
Remembering their phone call that morning, Stella sighed. “I wish, but I don’t carry that kind of weight with him.”<\/p>\n
Knowing exactly what Stella\u2019s marriage entailed, Cassidy waved it off. “I was just messing with you. Why are you sighing? The point is, we got our reward!”<\/p>\n
“You’ve been wanting to replace that ancient brick of a laptop anyway, this is perfect timing!”<\/p>\n
She wasn’t wrong.<\/p>\n
Stella’s laptop was years old and practically unusable for heavy work.<\/p>\n
