The room erupted in cheers as Alina concluded her announcement.
Stella was caught by surprise.
“Stella, you’re about to hit the big time!” A staff member standing beside Stella gave her elbow a gentle nudge and passed her an iPad.
“Look at this-your name is all over the screen. They want you to design their clothes.”
Stella accepted the iPad, her expression one of astonishment.
She hadn’t anticipated this turn of events, least of all Alina publicizing her work.
After all, Alina had always maintained a distance from her.
Although Alina’s demeanor had softened somewhat over time, she remained somewhat distant.
Yet, today’s gesture-Alina promoting her at a prestigious award ceremony-shattered her preconceived notions of Alina.
Alina wasn’t the cold-hearted person Stella had once pegged her to be.
Moved by the gesture, Stella’s face lit up with a heartfelt smile.
“Congratulations to the best designer of this year’s award ceremony!”
Stella looked up in confusion as a familiar voice came from beside her. When she found Matthew standing there, her eyes widened in shock.
He was impeccably dressed in a dark blue suit that accentuated his tall stature and exuded an air of sophistication.

“Why are you here?” Stella asked softly, regaining her composure.
Matthew tilted his head and smiled.
“I came to see my wife’s work.
I must say, I’m very impressed.”
While he complimented Alina’s dress, his gaze lingered on Stella. The glint in his eyes gave another meaning to his words.
Stella’s cheeks flushed with a shy rosiness.
“I didn’t realize it would turn out this well,” she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper.
Matthew responded with a light chuckle as his arm casually draped over her shoulder. He leaned in, his breath warm against her ear as he whispered, “Let’s celebrate at home later tonight.”
Stella turned, locking eyes with him for a fleeting moment. She instantly understood the hidden meaning behind his words.
