Chapter 1809
When Love Comes Late
Doreen quickly responded, âYes, everythingâs fine.
â
Noticing Stellaâs distress, Doreen tried to cheer her up.
âActually, the studioâs profits have doubled this month.
â
She hoped this news would bring a smile to Stellaâs face.
Stella felt a little better after hearing this news, her heavy heart lightening slightly.
She managed a smile, her voice gentle yet resolute.
âThatâs great news.
Your hard work hasnât gone unnoticed.
Everyone will receive a bonus this month.
â
âThank you on behalf of the team.
â Doreen smiled gratefully.
âIf thereâs nothing else, feel free to head back to the studio,â
Stella said kindly.
While Fernando looked for other embroiderers, Stella planned to contact the designers she
knew to find a suitable match.
As Doreen packed up to leave, she couldnât resist asking, âAre you looking for an embroiderer?â
Stella recalled that Doreen had studied design too.
Perhaps she had connections in that realm.
Eagerly, Stella inquired, âDo you know any embroiderer who could lend us a hand?â
Doreen offered a sheepish grin and replied, âI did incorporate some embroidery in my final project before graduation, but Iâm hardly an expert.
I never really mastered it.
However, my professor is quite skilled.
â
Stellaâs spirits lifted at her words.
âCould you share your professorâs contact information? We urgently need to complete a project, and Prosperity Group is prepared to offer a handsome fee for your professorâs services.
â
âItâs really not about the moneyâ¦â Doreen began, hesitating.
âMy professor often travels during her downtime.
Iâm not sure if sheâs in Seamarsh at the moment.
â
Stellaâs brow furrowed with concern, yet she persisted, âCould you try reaching out to her?â
Doreen nodded, willing to assist.
She quickly sent a message to her professor.
With Stellaâs guidance, she detailed the project.
Her professor responded promptly, âThat shouldnât be too difficult.
â
When Stella saw the message, her eyes sparkled like those of a drowning man spotting a lifeline.
She grasped Doreenâs hand, her voice tinged with urgency.
âPlease find out where your professor is.
If she can help with this issue, Iâll head over right now.
â
Doreen nodded, quickly messaging her professor for the address.
Once she got a response, she looked up at Stella, her expression hopeful.
âSheâs willing to help, but she might not be back in Seamarsh until tonight.
â
âThatâs perfectly fine!â Stellaâs reply came with a burst of enthusiasm.
âI can wait.
As evening drew near, Doreen received confirmation that her professor had returned.
Without delay, she escorted Stella to meet her.
