Chapter 453
When Love Comes Late
Her intuition told her that Kaia had feelings for Matthew, and that she would be a difficult person to handle.
The moment Matthew exited, Stella wasted no time in introducing herself.
âGreetings, Miss Lyons.
I serve as the director of the design department; my name is Stella Anderson.
â
Kaiaâs smile faded as she looked at Stella with an air of contempt.
âDraft a contract with Prosperity Group on my behalf,â she commanded.
Stella didnât expect Kaiaâs attitude to change so quickly.
She was caught off guard.
Stella paused for a moment.
Regaining her composure, she continued to smile professionally.
âMiss Lyons, while your appearance and aura are certainly appealing, itâs essential for you to try on our designs to ensure compatibility.
Kaia scoffed, âI donât have the luxury of time to go through each piece of clothing.
â
She surveyed Stella from head to toe, adding condescendingly, âYou should probably acquaint yourself with my reputation before speaking to me.
â
Unperturbed by Kaiaâs haughty tone, Stella replied in a civil manner, âGiven your busy schedule, I can coordinate with your assistant regarding a convenient time for you to visit Prosperity Group for an interview.
â
Kaiaâs expression soured at Stellaâs unyielding tone.
Around them, colleagues from the design department started to notice the tense exchange.

Suppressing her anger, Kaia maintained her public image with a forced smile.
She had noted at the birthday party the previous evening that Matthew and Stella were not just ordinary colleagues.
Matthew valued her input highly.
Putting on a stern expression, Kaia warned, âYouâll see what I can do.
â
With that, she walked out of the meeting room, her posture exuding arrogance.
Stella offered a polite nod.
âYouâre always welcome at Prosperity Group.
â
Once Kaia was out of sight, Stellaâs smile disappeared.
Devyn Padilla, an assistant, approached Stella, showing her the phone nervously.
âKaia has a significant following in the international modeling scene and has appeared in numerous high-profile shows.
â
Stella glanced at her phone but said nothing.
Devyn grew more anxious.
