They had been eagerly awaiting Stella’s humiliation, never expecting her to have an ace up her sleeve.
Dulce looked visibly flustered, her fingertips digging into her palm.
Her gaze towards Stella was a cocktail of envy and disdain.
A genuine smile finally lit up Mia’s stern visage.
Examining the dress in Stella’s hands, she lauded, “This dress is exquisite. I believe it would complement Dulce wonderfully.” Her eyes shifted towards Dulce as she added, “However, she doesn’t deserve this dress.”
Mia’s cutting remarks left Dulce mortified.
She bore Mia’s barbs, simultaneously cursing Stella inwardly, wishing all kinds of discomfort upon her.
Casting her eyes on Stella’s smug expression, Dulce clenched her teeth.
However, she managed to hold on to her last shreds of composure.
Grasping Eloise’s arm, they exchanged a look and prepared to make their exit.
Taking a step forward, Dulce offered a conciliatory smile.
“It seems I’ve misjudged you, Stella. My staff have been negligent, a mistake I intend to rectify later.”

Unperturbed, Stella said flatly, “I have no interest in designing for you. I suggest you find another designer.”
Dulce’s expression soured. She bit her lip and implored, “Let’s not create a spectacle over a misunderstanding.”
Hearing Dulce’s audacious plea, Stella nearly burst into laughter.
She retorted, “I’m not the one turning this into a spectacle. You initiated this fiasco.”
“You… Fine!” Dulce ground her teeth, huffed in disdain, and spun around to leave.
