Ella was at a loss as to what to say.
Stefan spoke with genuine sincerity, and his words profoundly resonated with her on all levels.
Max had never been able to truly thank her when they were dating, but now that Stefan was involved, it all seemed new.
She felt a sharp heat and her veins exploded with blood. Still staring at him with the same intensity, her face flushed.
"Is this child attempting to manipulate my emotions?" she asked herself.
Stefan noticed the flush on her cheek and smiled. He had no idea that a simple compliment could make her shy, but as he had already mentioned, she was special.
"What do you want to eat now that we have convinced our first investor?" Stefan said as he changed the topic.
He would have liked to see her back down, but he did not want to go too far.
