Chapter 939
When Love Comes Late
Stella presented a color card, suggesting, âIf youâre not a fan of lake blue, we have sapphire blue, azure blue, and more.
Choose your preferred shade, and leave the rest to me.
â
Alina glanced at the color card but didnât take it.
She shook her head, setting the design sketch aside.
âItâs up to you.
â
Standing up, she slipped on her sunglasses and signaled for her assistant, Kiera, to come over.
âStay here and tell her my measurements.
â
âOkay.
â
Kiera nodded her head.
Alina left the cafe without another word.
Stella watched her retreating figure, letting out a relieved sigh.
The tension in her nerves slowly eased.
After their last unpleasant meeting, sheâd anticipated a prolonged negotiation before finalizing the design.
She feared the worst outcome would be Alina letting her go.
To her relief, Alina had only expressed initial dissatisfaction.
After hearing her explanation, Alina granted her full authority to handle the gown.
It felt like a small step toward success.
Kiera relayed Alinaâs measurements to Stella.
âAnything else you need to know?â
Stella hesitated for a moment before asking in a hushed tone, âDoes Miss Walker have any specific preferences?â
Kiera sensed Stellaâs worries and reassured her, âDonât overthink it.
As long as Alina recognizes you, everything will be fine.
â
Stella nodded, keeping her concerns to herself.
After bidding farewell to Kiera, Stella left the cafe.
Stepping out of the hotel, Stella spotted a sleek black Rolls-Royce parked at the entrance.
Mathew stepped out of the car and approached her.
âIs it done?â
