“Why are you here?” she asked, surprised.
Matthew led her to the car and opened the passenger door.
“I asked Fernando to handle the company’s affairs. Your business is more important.”
“I think Alina is satisfied,” Stella eagerly shared as they settled into the car.
“She wants me to continue designing the dress according to my own ideas. The draft has gained her approval. Now, I need to create a sample gown that she’ll be pleased with.”
Matthew helped her with the seatbelt and affectionately rubbed her head.
“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. You’re the best designer in my eyes. It’s getting late; let me take you to dinner first.”

At a fancy restaurant, Matthew perused the menu while Stella surveyed the well-decorated restaurant.
Seated by the French window, she caught a glimpse of the river outside with a single glance.
Unable to resist expressing her admiration, Stella said, “You’ve got a good eye for choosing this restaurant; it’s really lovely.”
Inspired by the picturesque view, she reached for her phone, intending to capture the scene outside. Just as she prepared to snap a photo, she noticed Alina walking towards her.
Caught off guard, Stella couldn’t evade her. She mustered a forced smile and greeted, “Miss Walker, what a surprise!”
Alina didn’t answer her. She scrutinized the pair before fixing her gaze on Stella. With a subtle smirk, she remarked, “I’ve been curious about how you manage to create such an impeccable design. Now I see, you’ve enlisted the help of a talented assistant.”
Stella was shocked and looked at Alina in confusion.
Alina turned to Matthew with a smile and asked, “Am I right, Tobin?”
The smile on her lips appeared forced.

When Alina had just become popular, she had met Tobin at an event and had been deeply attracted to his design style.
Later, she had tried to collaborate with Tobin but had never been able to make an appointment with him.
It had been explained to her by a third party that Tobin had stopped accepting orders.
However, she had not given up. It was rare to meet such a talented designer. How could she give up? So she had continued to try to contact Tobin by any means possible.
Due to her unrelenting effort, she had finally managed to get a response from Tobin. However, he had refused, stating that his design was not suitable for her.
This was a terrible excuse, and she knew it.
However, there was nothing else to do except hold a grudge.
She hadn’t expected to meet Tobin here today. What was more surprising was that he was having dinner with Stella.
