Chapter 527
When Love Comes Late
Please, Mr.
Clark, have faith in me.
I assure you, I can handle it.

Matthew scrutinized her for several moments before conceding, âYouâre certain you can manage?â
He relented.
Stella nodded, reiterating her promise.
âDonât worry.
I can pull it off, but the gown from Nikolai got wet.
Iâll need another one.
â
Without any further discussion, Matthew advised, âMake sure you get a medical check-up after the conference.
â
Relieved by his permission, Stella simply replied, âUnderstood.
â
Just as she spoke, Miley chimed in, âStella, your grandfather finally picked up.
â She passed the phone to Stella.
Grabbing it, Stella immediately questioned, âGrandpa, where are you?
Why couldnât I reach you?â
She did her best to keep her voice steady, not wanting to alarm Clint.
Elated, Clint explained, âI was at the hospital for a check-up, and the nurse had my phone.
Whatâs the matter?â
Realizing Clint was fine, Stella sighed in relief.
âItâs nothing.
I just missed you.
â
Her thoughts shifted to the mysterious call, making her slightly uneasy.
She cautioned Clint, âIt might be best if you stay in for the next few days.
Iâll call you once Iâm done with my work.
â
Detecting her odd tone, Clint inquired, âIs something wrong?â

âNothing.
â Stella changed the subject.
âToday is my debut press conference as a designer.
I wanted you to be the first to know.
Iâll call you later to catch up.
â
âGood luck, then.
I eagerly await your good news.
â Clintâs voice tinged with happiness.
Noticing that the press conference was about to commence, Stella issued some quick directions before ending the call.
She returned the phone to Miley and addressed Matthew.
âItâs almost time for the press conference.
Could you arrange the dress for me?
I need to get my makeup done.
