Chapter 527

Please, Mr.

Clark, have faith in me.

I assure you, I can handle it.

”

Matthew scrutinized her for several moments before conceding, “You’re certain you can manage?”

He relented.

Stella nodded, reiterating her promise.

“Don’t worry.

I can pull it off, but the gown from Nikolai got wet.

I’ll need another one.

”

Without any further discussion, Matthew advised, “Make sure you get a medical check-up after the conference.

”

Relieved by his permission, Stella simply replied, “Understood.

”

Just as she spoke, Miley chimed in, “Stella, your grandfather finally picked up.

” She passed the phone to Stella.

Grabbing it, Stella immediately questioned, “Grandpa, where are you?

Why couldn’t I reach you?”

She did her best to keep her voice steady, not wanting to alarm Clint.

Elated, Clint explained, “I was at the hospital for a check-up, and the nurse had my phone.

What’s the matter?”

Realizing Clint was fine, Stella sighed in relief.

“It’s nothing.

I just missed you.

”

Her thoughts shifted to the mysterious call, making her slightly uneasy.

She cautioned Clint, “It might be best if you stay in for the next few days.

I’ll call you once I’m done with my work.

”

Detecting her odd tone, Clint inquired, “Is something wrong?”

“Nothing.

” Stella changed the subject.

“Today is my debut press conference as a designer.

I wanted you to be the first to know.

I’ll call you later to catch up.

”

“Good luck, then.

I eagerly await your good news.

” Clint’s 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.

“It’s almost time for the press conference.

Could you arrange the dress for me?

I need to get my makeup done.

”
