Chapter 500
When Love Comes Late
âWhatâs the matter?â Stella inquired anxiously.
âIs there a problem?â
The director placed her design drawings down and admitted, âThere are no issues with the other two pieces, but the third piece features golden lace as its primary material.
Itâs precious and notoriously challenging to inlay.
Our company has limited stock, and weâd need to source it from France.
â
âCan you contact our branch in France immediately?â Stella asked urgently.
The director shook his head, delivering a disheartening verdict.
âEven if we expedite the shipment, it wonât arrive until next week at the earliest.
â
Stellaâs forehead wrinkled with distress.
âNo, next week will be too late.
Iâve arranged for models to try on the sample garments this afternoon, and the garments need to be displayed next week.
We canât afford a weekâs delay.
â
The director sighed heavily.
âThis is quite a predicament.
â
âDo you have any other suggestions?â Stella asked earnestly.
After a moment of reflection, the director proposed an alternative.
âHow about informing Mr.
Clark and requesting his assistance in contacting our cooperative companies? Some of them might provide the materials we need.
â
Upon hearing the idea of reaching out to Matthew, Stella hesitated.
She furrowed her brows and inquired, âIs that our only option?â
The director nodded solemnly.
âOtherwise, weâll have to wait until next week to secure the materials.

Left with no other viable alternatives, Stella reluctantly consented.
âAlright, Iâll go seek Mr.
Clarkâs assistance.
Please start working on the sample garments.
Weâll need them for the design meeting later.
â
âUnderstood, the director responded, immediately setting his team to work.
In the afternoon, a design meeting convened, attended by three models and several senior leaders from the design department.
Among them was Matthew, a figure whose presence demanded respect and attention.
Standing before the assembly, Stella commenced her presentation of the design concept for the series of clothing.
âOur primary color scheme for this collection is red, with three distinct variationsâ¦â
Kaia, however, paid no heed to Stellaâs design concept.
