When Love Comes Late -
Chapter 486
“You’re quite the doting partner, bringing her all the way here to consult me.
You know I don’t usually share my expertise, right?”
“Keep your distance.
” Matthew shrugged off Nikolai’s arm in disgust.
Nikolai grumbled, “You’re so attentive to your lover yet so dismissive of me.
Why did I never see this side of you before?”
“I can hire you with money,” Matthew responded pragmatically.
“And for the record, Stella isn’t my lover.
”
Nikolai chuckled skeptically, clearly not buying Matthew’s denial.
“As I was saying, women are unassailable when it comes to the pursuit of beauty.
” Nikolai glanced at Stella’s bag on the couch.
“She has real talent.
She might outpace me soon.
”
Sensing that Stella was about to return, Matthew chose not to prolong the debate.
He conceded, “If that’s what you believe, fine, but keep your distance.
”
After a brief pause, he lowered his voice to remind Nikolai, “And don’t forget what I asked you to do yesterday.
”
Nikolai looked at Matthew’s stern face and chuckled.
He nodded.
“I haven’t forgotten.

Aware of Nikolai’s implication, she clarified, “Mr.
Clark’s involvement is also for the benefit of Prosperity Group.
I too aspire to enhance my skills as quickly as possible.
I’m extremely grateful for today.
”
Her words were so well-phrased that Nikolai refrained from further teasing and resumed their design discussion.
As Stella and Matthew prepared to leave, Nikolai suddenly said, “Since I’ve assisted you, would you be willing to do me a small favor?”
Stella was surprised, but she didn’t refuse.
“I’d be honored to help.
”
With a playful wink, Nikolai said, “It’s nothing major.
I simply would like you to try on a dress.
”
“Me?” Stella asked hesitantly.
