Ch.484 Chapter 486 - When Love Comes Late

âYouâre quite the doting partner, bringing her all the way here to consult me.

You know I donât usually share my expertise, right?â

âKeep your distance.

â Matthew shrugged off Nikolaiâs arm in disgust.

Nikolai grumbled, âYouâre so attentive to your lover yet so dismissive of me.

Why did I never see this side of you before?â

âI can hire you with money,â Matthew responded pragmatically.

âAnd for the record, Stella isnât my lover.

Nikolai chuckled skeptically, clearly not buying Matthewâs denial.

âAs I was saying, women are unassailable when it comes to the pursuit of beauty.

â Nikolai glanced at Stellaâs bag on the couch.

âShe has real talent.

She might outpace me soon.

Sensing that Stella was about to return, Matthew chose not to prolong the debate.

He conceded, âIf thatâs what you believe, fine, but keep your distance.

After a brief pause, he lowered his voice to remind Nikolai, âAnd donât forget what I asked you to do yesterday.

Nikolai looked at Matthewâs stern face and chuckled.

He nodded.

âI havenât forgotten.

Aware of Nikolaiâs implication, she clarified, âMr.

Clarkâs involvement is also for the benefit of Prosperity Group.

I too aspire to enhance my skills as quickly as possible.

Iâm extremely grateful for today.

Her words were so well-phrased that Nikolai refrained from further teasing and resumed their design discussion.

As Stella and Matthew prepared to leave, Nikolai suddenly said, âSince Iâve assisted you, would you be willing to do me a small favor?â

Stella was surprised, but she didnât refuse.

âIâd be honored to help.

With a playful wink, Nikolai said, âItâs nothing major.

I simply would like you to try on a dress.

âMe?â Stella asked hesitantly.
