Resigned, Stella offered a helpless smile. As she prepared to drive away, something seemed to occur to her. Glancing back at Flossie, she voiced her concerns.
“Are you sure Dulce is trustworthy?”
Flossie looked puzzled and retorted, “Why wouldn’t she be? I met her at a social event. She’s all the rage right now. You really should capitalize on this opportunity.”
After saying that, she winked at Stella.
Stella stared Flossie and felt assured that she was genuinely in the dark. She simply nodded and replied, “Alright,” before driving off into the night.
Upon reaching the hotel, Stella relayed the room number to the attendant, who escorted her to a private chamber.
The space was semi-open, affording a view of the surroundings while still retaining a sense of privacy.
Selecting a seat, Stella began contemplating her forthcoming conversation with Dulce.
Soon, the distinctive click of high heels filled the room. As she looked up, she realized that it wasn’t Eloise, but Dulce.
She was dressed in a form-fitting black ensemble that showcased her hourglass silhouette.
Stella’s smile was interrupted when she noticed an older woman standing next to Dulce.
It was Mia Dury!
Despite being in her middle age, Mia was remarkably beautiful.
Caught off guard by her presence, Stella felt both surprised and apprehensive.

Swiftly rising to her feet, she greeted the older woman with a courteous bow and extended her hand.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Dury. I’m Stella Anderson.”
“Relax,” Mia said warmly, shaking Stella’s hand.
“Why don’t we sit down and chat?”
After they entered the room, they all took their seats.
Mia opened the conversation in a congenial tone.
“Dulce tells me you’re the best designer in Seamarsh. As it happens, I’m in search of a collaborator here.”
Wasting no time, Dulce interjected, “I personally fetched Ms. Dury to witness your craftsmanship, Stella.”
Stella shot a knowing smile at Dulce. She understood what was going on beneath the surface.
Turning her attention to Mia, Stella remarked graciously, “I appreciate you taking the time to come here.”
