Matthew’s spirits lifted upon reading the positive comments.
“Reach out to every media outlet. Make sure Stella gets all the attention she deserves,” he told Fernando.

Being her husband, he was resolute in ensuring that her diligence wasn’t for naught.

There was a momentary pause from Slater before he replied, a note of annoyance clear, “I remember. A three-month stint consulting for Prosperity Group’s design department. You have my word.”
Pressing further, he added, “Did you set me up that evening, Matthew?”

“You gave Stella some pointers on her designs, didn’t you?”
Slater surmised the reason for Matthew’s confidence in their wager.
Realization struck Slater that he’d been played by Matthew on the night of their bet.
“Quit guessing. Simply accept that she was better than you this time around,” Matthew countered calmly.
“Don’t forget to report to Prosperity Group soon.”
