Colden shook his head and said, “I don’t know him.”
Zola smiled with a hint of irony and asked, “Stella, what type of business is your husband involved in? Why don’t you invite him over?
I believe my husband wouldn’t mind offering some business opportunities to yours as a helping hand.”
Her tone was condescending.
Stella felt disgusted. With an unemotional expression, she responded indifferently, “Thank you for your offer, but it’s not necessary.
He’s involved in a modest business that provides for our family.”
Zola thought Stella didn’t appreciate her generosity. She managed to suppress her anger and continued with a smile, “You’re welcome. We were once classmates, and even if there were any unpleasant memories between us in the past, they must have faded over the years, right?”
Her comment was a subtle reference to Stella’s pettiness.
A hint of impatience crossed Stella’s face.
When she was about to bid Besty goodbye, the latter spoke first.
She changed the subject and asked, “Zola, what have you been up to lately? You’re glowing more and more.”
Zola responded with a bright smile and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
This question was exactly what she had hoped for. It was another opportunity for her to show off.

Zola raised her chin slightly and said, “I’ve been working on design projects lately. By the way, have you heard about the KlassicLuxe design competition?”
Besty nodded, “Yes, I’m aware of it. However, I heard that there are very few slots available, and only the top professionals in the industry make it to the second round.”
Zola’s smile grew even wider.

She raised her chin slightly and cast a disdainful and self-satisfied look at Stella.
“Indeed, it’s quite challenging to make it to the second round. There are only 10 slots available, but I’ve already secured a spot.”
“Oh my God! You’re awesome, Zola!” Besty exclaimed.
Zola’s ego continued to rise.
But her smile froze when she noticed Stella drinking without paying her any attention.
Zola, growing increasingly irritated, intentionally raised her voice.
“Stella, I recall that you used to work in design. Why didn’t you enter the competition?”
Stella glanced at her and took another sip of wine, choosing not to respond to her question.
