“Is it that bad?” Stella murmured. “Why don’t you help them then?”
Matthew’s eyes darkened. “This is a test for Neville. He needs to handle this himself to truly protect Miley.”
Stella nodded thoughtfully. Matthew’s point made sense.
A few days later, Liz’s fashion show commenced as planned.
The theme was illusion, with most of the stage decorations made of glass.
Stella arrived early to cheer for Flossie.
Backstage, she found Flossie in the dressing room, newly changed and working on her hair.
Stella was momentarily struck by her friend’s beauty. She held back nothing. “You look stunning today, Flossie! Like a heavenly fairy!”
Flossie blinked. “It’s been a while since my last show. I must admit, I’m a little nervous.”
Stella offered a warm smile. “Don’t worry, you’ve got this. You’re the best and the most beautiful one here. Confidence is key!”
Their conversation was interrupted as the dressing room door burst open.
A girl anxiously rushed in. “Are you finished yet? Jessica’s been waiting and getting impatient.”

The makeup artist, Sia, glanced apologetically at Flossie.
Jessica was Liz’s lead model. She was a notoriously arrogant woman who enjoyed flaunting her power around. Working with her was a constant struggle.
Sia wanted to avoid pissing Jessica off, but at the same time, she wasn’t finished with Flossie yet.
Flossie, however, offered a gentle smile. “It’s perfectly alright.
You can work on her first. I’m not in a rush.”

“Thank you so much.” Relief washed over Sia’s face. “I’ll be back with you as soon as possible.”
With that, she hurried out with the girl.
Alone again, Flossie and Stella exchanged glances.
Stella offered a reassuring smile. “While you were gone, Jessica snatched up almost all the lead roles for major shows. She’s been basking in the limelight, and Sia’s a talented artist. Jessica specifically requested her tonight. It’s natural for Sia to prioritize her under the circumstances.”
Flossie remained silent, a swirl of emotions clouding her face.
Stella offered a comforting pat on the shoulder. “But listen, you are a hundred times more beautiful than her! Once you step onto that stage, you’ll be the night’s undisputed star.”
Stella’s encouragement reignited Flossie’s spirit. “I’ll give it my alu!”
