“What’s the matter?” Stella inquired anxiously.
“Is there a problem?”
The director placed her design drawings down and admitted, “There are no issues with the other two pieces, but the third piece features golden lace as its primary material. It’s precious and notoriously challenging to inlay. Our company has limited stock, and we’d need to source it from France.”
“Can you contact our branch in France immediately?” Stella asked urgently.
The director shook his head, delivering a disheartening verdict.
“Even if we expedite the shipment, it won’t arrive until next week at the earliest.”

Stella’s forehead wrinkled with distress.
“No, next week will be too late. I’ve arranged for models to try on the sample garments this afternoon, and the garments need to be displayed next week. We can’t afford a week’s delay.”
The director sighed heavily.
“This is quite a predicament.”
“Do you have any other suggestions?” Stella asked earnestly.
After a moment of reflection, the director proposed an alternative.
“How about informing Mr. Clark and requesting his assistance in contacting our cooperative companies? Some of them might provide the materials we need.”
Upon hearing the idea of reaching out to Matthew, Stella hesitated.
She furrowed her brows and inquired, “Is that our only option?”
The director nodded solemnly.
“Otherwise, we’ll have to wait until next week to secure the materials.”

Left with no other viable alternatives, Stella reluctantly consented.
“Alright, I’ll go seek Mr. Clark’s assistance. Please start working on the sample garments. We’ll need them for the design meeting later.”
“Understood, the director responded, immediately setting his team to work.
In the afternoon, a design meeting convened, attended by three models and several senior leaders from the design department. Among them was Matthew, a figure whose presence demanded respect and attention.
Standing before the assembly, Stella commenced her presentation of the design concept for the series of clothing.
“Our primary color scheme for this collection is red, with three distinct variations…”
Kaia, however, paid no heed to Stella’s design concept.
