Chapter 1507
When Love Comes Late
Despite everything, I wonât hold it against her for the good times.
But thatâs the end of it.
No more Debora for me.
â
Stella nodded, respecting his choice.
This was Luka and Deboraâs business, not hers to poke into.
She changed the subject, offering comfort.
âIâm just glad youâre alright.
Hopefully, Debora can move on soon.
â
âThanks.
â Luka breathed deeply.
âI have to head to work now.
If you ever need a hand, just holler.
And letâs catch up for dinner sometime.
â
âSure thing.
â Stella ended the call.
As she turned around, she spotted Matthew with a grin and a laptop in hand.
Wondering what was up, she figured maybe Matthew wasnât keen on her talking to Luka.
So, she explained, âLuka wanted me to say thanks on his behalf.
â
Matthew arched an eyebrow.
âDo you think Iâm that petty?â
Wasnât he? Stella snickered, but she didnât dare say it aloud.
Noticing the laptop, she asked, âWhatâs that about?â
Matthew pulled up a chair, showing her the screen.
âTake a look.
Itâs about Bellaâs test.
â
âSeriously?â Stellaâs eyes widened.
âLet me see!â
The first thing she noticed was the title: âSewing Basics.
â
Stella furrowed her brow, reading intently.
Every contender would be handed an old, raggedy dress.
Whoever fixed it up best could have a shot at being Bellaâs apprentice for a year.
Below lay the list of participants.
As Stella scanned it, she realized they were all pros.
A tinge of nerves crept in.
Then, her hand shook as her eyes landed on a familiar name.
Devyn?
Did she sign up too? What were the odds?
Matthew glanced at the name, unbothered.
