Chapter 379
When Love Comes Late
After lying there for a while, Stellaâs thoughts turned to Maverickâs attendance at the forthcoming event.
Gazing at her meticulously designed dress, she considered her next move and decided to send Maverick a message.
In her message, she meticulously described the dressâs style and color, concluding with a request.
âI hope youâll don a black suit.
â
This would complement her red dress splendidly.
âSure.
See you tomorrow night,â Maverick swiftly responded.
With Maverickâs assurance, Stella could finally relax.
She settled into bed, eager for the upcoming dinner party tomorrow.
The following evening at seven oâclock, Miley steered her car towards the hotel, where Stella was due to attend the event.
âStella, if you run into any issues, donât hesitate to call me.
â
She had pressing matters to attend to at the company and couldnât remain here.
âDonât worry.
Carry on with your work.
Itâs just a competition, nothing to worry about,â Stella reassured her as she unfastened her seatbelt.
Peering out of the car, Miley inquired, âWhereâs Maverick? Did he mention when heâd arrive?â
Stella shook her head.
âI havenât seen him yet, but I reached out to him last night.
Judging by his tone, I donât believe heâll break his promise again.
â
âI hope so,â Miley muttered, her tone less than friendly.
âIf he lets you down once more, you shouldnât forgive him no matter what gifts he gives you.
â
Stella offered a wry smile.
âAlright, get on with your work.
IâUL head inside.

With that, she swung the door open and stepped towards the entrance.
The wine-red dress she wore drew immediate attention with its vibrant and flamboyant hue.
The dress featured a simple and elegant design, strapless to showcase Stellaâs delicate clavicle.
A beautiful and retro V-neck framed her graceful and slender neck, akin to that of a noble swan.
With her hair coiled up, a few loose, curly strands hung on either side of her face.
Stella held a black woven angel mask, concealing the upper half of her visage.
