Chapter 485
When Love Comes Late
Suddenly, Stella felt a connection with Nikolai, her eyes lighting up.
She replied, âInitially, I wanted to enhance the bagâs durability, but inspiration struck.
I aimed to combine both functionality and aesthetics.
â
With a smile, Nikolai handed the bag back to Stella and praised her generously, âYouâre truly remarkable.
Many people struggle to capture beauty.
Youâll undoubtedly become an outstanding designer in the future.
â
Stella couldnât help but blush at Nikolaiâs unexpected compliment.
Matthew caught Nikolaiâs eyes and said to Stella, âLetâs head inside.
â
Stella accompanied Matthew into Nikolaiâs studio.
The interior was elegantly simple, yet boasted state-of-the-art imported equipment.
Matthew fetched two glasses of water from the kitchen and offered one to Stella.
To Stellaâs surprise, it appeared that Matthew and Nikolai were close.
She accepted the glass, thanking him softly, yet didnât dare to inquire further.
After some time, Stella spoke up.
âMr.
Todd, thereâs something Iâd like to discuss with you.
â
Nikolai slightly lifted his eyebrows and replied, âGo on.
â
Casting a glance at Matthew, Stella said, âIâm working on a clothing line, but thereâs a model whose persona doesnât quite align with my vision.
Iâm struggling with how to design for her.
â
Upon hearing her dilemma, Nikolai promptly suggested, âIf the model canât fit into your design theme, make her the standout exception.
â
Stella was still puzzled and sought clarification.

âIâve mainly chosen black as the color for her, but she exudes a sense of cold beauty and has a slender frame.
Iâm concerned that black will further slim her down and diminish her appeal on camera.
â
âNo worries.
â Nikolai quickly conceived a solution.
âYou could opt for a fitted black skirt and a V-neck to accentuate the fuller aspects of the modelâ¦â
Following Nikolaiâs advice, Stella took a pencil from her bag and started sketching the design.
The pen glided smoothly on the paper, and after a few minutes, the sketch of the design was completed.
The piece was a synthesis of her ideas and Nikolaiâs insights, highlighting Kaiaâs strengths and masking her weaknesses.
Satisfied with her sketch, Stella expressed her gratitude to Nikolai over and over.
At one point, Stella excused herself to go to the restroom.
Taking the opportunity, Nikolai dr@ped an arm around Matthew and pointed to the direction Stella had gone.
