Chapter 421
When Love Comes Late
Stella, still reeling from the sudden turn of events, could only hear Docieâs pleas for an explanation echoing in her mind.
The meeting room was fraught with tension, and everyoneâs expression had soured, with the looming fear that they might be the next to be let go.
In the wake of Docieâs exit, Matthew proceeded with the second announcement, his voice unwavering.
âEffective immediately, Stella Anderson will assume the role of director in the design department.
However, she will continue to support the public relations department as needed.
â
This decision marked Stellaâs ascent within the company, elevating her to a position of authority above Lina.
It was an announcement met with mixed reactions among the employees, their jealousy and resentment palpable.
Lina, in particular, seethed with anger and envy.
In addition to jealousy and unwillingness, there was also a trace of dissatisfaction in her heart.

Why could Stella get an exceptional promotion after she just worked in the company for a short of time?
Clenching her fists, Lina trembled with anger and looked terrible.
Stella was taken aback.
She had wanted to decline the offer, but the formal setting of the meeting room discouraged any immediate objections.
She decided to approach Matthew privately after the meeting.
Matthew concluded the meeting with a final proposal.
âProsperity Group is actively expanding into the fashion industry.
If you have talented designers and models to recommend, do so with enthusiasm.
Successful recommendations will be rewarded.
â
With those words, Matthew rose from his seat, declared, âThe meeting is adjourned,â and exited the room.
Stella immediately rose to follow him but was detained by her colleagues.
âCongratulations, Stella.
â
Stella accepted the well-wishes with a warm smile.
âStella, please put in a good word for our public relations department with Mr.
Clark in the future.
â
She was quickly surrounded by coworkers, each offering their congratulations.
While she navigated the sea of congratulations with grace, her heart raced with unease.
She needed to speak with Matthew.
However, not everyone was genuinely pleased for her.
A few resentful employees couldnât help but voice their jealousy.
âDocie dedicated many years to this company.
Who would have thought that Mr.
Clark would dismiss her on your account?â
