The most prominent headline read, âDid a rising designer outshine Slater Aston?â
Netizens, having seen Mrs.
Burkeâs attire, were all praises for Stella.
Soon, Stellaâs phone was inundated with calls from journalists eager to schedule an exclusive interview.
Meanwhile, Matthew keenly tracked all online news related to Stella.
Matthewâs spirits lifted upon reading the positive comments.
âReach out to every media outlet.
Make sure Stella gets all the attention she deserves,â he told Fernando.
After ending the call, Matthew leaned back in his chair, letting his eyes shut for a moment.
He recognized the vast effort Stella had poured into her work.
Being her husband, he was resolute in ensuring that her diligence wasnât for naught.
Reopening his eyes with a slight squint, Matthew retrieved his phone and made a call.
He picked up his phone and dialed a number.
The line connected quickly.

There was a momentary pause from Slater before he replied, a note of annoyance clear, âI remember.
A three-month stint consulting for Prosperity Groupâs design department.
You have my word.

Pressing further, he added, âDid you set me up that evening, Matthew?â
The lack of an immediate response from Matthew only deepened Slaterâs suspicions.
âYou gave Stella some pointers on her designs, didnât you?â
Slater surmised the reason for Matthewâs confidence in their wager.
Realization struck Slater that heâd been played by Matthew on the night of their bet.
âQuit guessing.
Simply accept that she was better than you this time around,â Matthew countered calmly.
âDonât forget to report to Prosperity Group soon.
