Chapter 1123
When Love Comes Late
The more Ashley thought about it, the more frustrated she became.
Unable to hold back, she called out, âStella!â
Stella looked up, saw Ashley, and asked with a smile, âAshley, did you need something?â
Trying to keep her anger in check, Ashley replied softly, âCome here, I need some help.
â
Stella excused herself from Luka and quickly went to Ashley.
âWhatâs up?â
With a slight raise of her eyebrow, Ashley said, âI heard youâre into design.
I have a bracelet for the next scene, but its diamond is loose.
Can you check it out?â
Her request was polite and her smile so friendly that Stella couldnât say no.
Stella nodded, but mentioned, âI mainly work on clothes, though.
Jewelryâs not really my thing.
Iâm not sure I can fix it.
â
âThatâs a bit of a problem,â Ashley said cheerfully.
âBut youâre more skilled than me in this stuff.
Please, could you give it a try?â
Stella hesitated, feeling itâd be impolite to say no.
Ashley guided her to a spot on the set, offering her a bracelet.
âI could use your help with this.
â
âLet me have a look,â Stella responded, reaching for it.

But in a blink, the bracelet slipped from their hands.
The diamond popped out, skipped once, and plunged into the nearby pool, causing a small splash.
The whole thing happened so fast, Stella couldnât react before a sharp voice cut through the air.
âOh no! Stella, what did you just do?â Ashleyâs assistant, Mila, was quick to blame Stella.
âThatâs a sponsored bracelet.
What are we going to do now? Can you cover the cost?â
âMila, stop!â Ashley pretended to be upset and rebuked her, then turned to Stella with a reassuring smile.
âItâs my fault, really.
I didnât hold it properly.
Donât blame Stella.
â
But Mila wasnât convinced.
âI saw everything.
Stella missed it!
