“Ignore Mila. It’s not as big a deal as she’s saying.”
Upon hearing Ashley’s words, Stella’s guilt deepened.
“I’m sorry. It’s on me for missing that.” She cast a look towards the swimming pool.

Luka wore a coat designed by Stella, which made him look incredibly sharp and impressive.
Ashley couldn’t take her eyes off him, only snapping out of it when Mila nudged her.
“Luka…” Her voice was gentle and sweet.
“I didn’t mean to push Stella. I even told her not to go in. But the bracelet is really important. I promised the sponsor it’d be in the play. If not, I’d owe them a lot.”
