Chapter 795
When Love Comes Late
âConsidering your network, youâre likely acquainted with more renowned designers than I am.
Does this particular style strike you as familiar?â Stella inquired earnestly.
After scrutinizing the drawing for a moment, Matthew set it down and shook his head.
âIâm afraid I canât place it.
âEven youâre stumped?â A flicker of disappointment crossed Stellaâs eyes.
The top designer she knew was only Matthew.
If he was clueless, she had no idea who else she could turn to.
Her own creativity would be hamstrung if she sought further external input.
âLetâs eat first.
Iâll have it thoroughly examined later,â Matthew suggested, swiftly stowing the sketches.
Then he reached for the menu, preparing to place an order.
Stellaâs eyes brightened.
âThank you.
I need your feedback as soon as possible to fulfill the assignment Dulce has given me.
â
Matthew nodded, his caution palpable.
âI would advise against discussing this with Dulceâs team for now.
Continue your interactions as planned without arousing suspicion.
â
He added, âIâve tasked Fernando with investigating Dulce.
We should hear something soon.
â
Reassured by Matthew, Stella felt her anxiety lessen.

For some reason, his presence imbued her with a sense of resilience.
No challenge seemed insurmountable when he was around.
He offered her a safe space.
After their meal, the two exited the restaurant.
Stella nudged Matthew to return to work.
Matthew remained stationary, clearly disregarding her proposal.
Stella offered a helpless smile.
âIâve got a packed schedule ahead.
I need to design a dress for Dulce, and Mia will arrive in a couple of days.
Thereâs a lot to prepare.
â
Matthew held her hand.
âStella.
â
Her heart fluttered at the sound of her name from his lips.
