Chapter 1833

Alissa shook her head.

“No, thanks.

We’re not on the same way, and my home is not far from here.

I’ll take a taxi.

But please send Doreen home.

She drank a little wine just now.

I’ll be worried if she goes home alone.

”

Stella nodded in agreement.

She waited for Alissa to get in a taxi before she took Doreen to her car.

On their way, Stella thought of what had happened just now.

She turned to Doreen and asked, “When Alissa told us about her best friend, why did you stop me from asking questions? Is this a sensitive topic?”

From now on, she and Alissa would have frequent contact.

It would be best to understand Alissa’s bottom line to avoid conflicts.

Upon hearing that, Doreen became more somber.

She sighed and said, “Alissa’s best friend has died.

”

“Died? What do you mean?” Stella was taken aback.

She widened her eyes and said, “I understand now.

It’s my fault.

I won’t bring it up again.

”

“It’s okay if you’re mot aware.

Alissa won’t be bothered by it.

Whenever Alissa brought it up, she’d get melancholy.

” Doreen sighed.

“Alissa’s best friend was very skilled in design.

If she were still alive, she’d be a master of it.

”

Doreen appeared to know a lot about Alissa’s best friend.

Stella, growing curious, asked, “Did you ever meet her?”

Shaking her head, Doreen said, “No, Alissa’s friend died a long time ago.

She passed before Alissa became my teacher, but Alissa kept some of her design sketches.

I’ve seen them.

Even though they were created many years ago, they are still cutting-edge.

They’re truly remarkable.

“

Stella’s curiosity sparked up after listening to Doreen talking about Alissa’s best friend.

It seemed Doreen remembered something and suddenly said, “Her design style reminds me a bit of yours.

”

Seeing the humor in it, Stella shook her head with a smile and said, “You must’ve thought too highly of me.

I wouldn’t even try to compare myself with Alissa’s best friend.

”

Alissa’s best friend was clearly a master, while Stella considered herself a beginner.

“Really, you’re just as good as she was.

If you ever see those sketches, you’ll agree with me,” Doreen said firmly.

Doreen sounded really serious, but Stella wasn’t convinced at all.

She said nonchalantly, “Okay.

”

She didn’t take the compliment to heart.

Doreen seemed to really look up to her.

People often put their trust in those they admire without question.

Stella always kept her expectations of herself modest, aware that she still had much to learn.

Once Stella dropped Doreen off home, she headed back to Prosper Bay.

As she stepped out of the car, Fernando tagged along.
