Suddenly, Stella felt a connection with Nikolai, her eyes lighting up.
She replied, “Initially, I wanted to enhance the bag’s durability, but inspiration struck. I aimed to combine both functionality and aesthetics.”
With a smile, Nikolai handed the bag back to Stella and praised her generously, “You’re truly remarkable. Many people struggle to capture beauty. You’ll undoubtedly become an outstanding designer in the future.”
Stella couldn’t help but blush at Nikolai’s unexpected compliment.
Matthew caught Nikolai’s eyes and said to Stella, “Let’s head inside.”
Stella accompanied Matthew into Nikolai’s studio. The interior was elegantly simple, yet boasted state-of-the-art imported equipment.
Matthew fetched two glasses of water from the kitchen and offered one to Stella.

To Stella’s surprise, it appeared that Matthew and Nikolai were close.
She accepted the glass, thanking him softly, yet didn’t dare to inquire further.
After some time, Stella spoke up.
“Mr. Todd, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you.”
Nikolai slightly lifted his eyebrows and replied, “Go on.”
Casting a glance at Matthew, Stella said, “I’m working on a clothing line, but there’s a model whose persona doesn’t quite align with my vision. I’m struggling with how to design for her.”
Upon hearing her dilemma, Nikolai promptly suggested, “If the model can’t fit into your design theme, make her the standout exception.”
Stella was still puzzled and sought clarification.

“I’ve mainly chosen black as the color for her, but she exudes a sense of cold beauty and has a slender frame. I’m concerned that black will further slim her down and diminish her appeal on camera.”
“No worries.” Nikolai quickly conceived a solution.
“You could opt for a fitted black skirt and a V-neck to accentuate the fuller aspects of the model…”
Following Nikolai’s advice, Stella took a pencil from her bag and started sketching the design.
The pen glided smoothly on the paper, and after a few minutes, the sketch of the design was completed.
The piece was a synthesis of her ideas and Nikolai’s insights, highlighting Kaia’s strengths and masking her weaknesses.
Satisfied with her sketch, Stella expressed her gratitude to Nikolai over and over.
At one point, Stella excused herself to go to the restroom.
Taking the opportunity, Nikolai draped an arm around Matthew and pointed to the direction Stella had gone.
