When Love Comes Late
Chapter 888

Approaching slowly, she retrieved several sheets of paper from the file and handed them to her assistant.

“These documents contain the timeline of the design and the doctor’s diagnosis.

”

Mia read through the papers carefully, her expression unchanging.

Stella continued, “I was involved in a car accident, resulting in an injury to my hand.

However, with proper medical treatment and guidance, my hand has shown signs of recovery.

It’s not as severe as some have claimed online.

”

Silence filled the room as Mia and the others contemplated Stella’s explanation.

Eventually, Stella presented her previous works for their inspection.

The meeting room was so quiet that the rustling of paper turning was the only sound heard.

The documents passed among Mia and the other executives, and an air of skepticism hung in the room.

Stella couldn’t help but notice their frowns.

After a brief silence, one man raised his head and fixed his gaze on Stella.

“Stella, I’m afraid we replace the evidence you’ve provided somewhat unconvincing.

In my opinion, these medical records and past designs could potentially be fabricated.

”

Stella was taken aback.

She had believed these materials were the most direct evidence of her abilities.

“I assure you that these documents can be verified, and there is no falsehood in them.

”

The man shook his head.

“The verification process is too time- consuming.

We need you to provide us with a definitive answer tonight.

Since doubts have been raised regarding your abilities, I propose we set a theme right now, and you create a design on the spot.

Are you willing to do that?”

Stella understood that this man wanted not only to assess her abilities but also to confirm whether she could still wield a pencil as the internet rumors suggested.

She had no reason to decline.

Moreover, she had been taking medication and using ointments in recent days.

Drawing should be within her capability.

Stella agreed to the challenge without hesitation.

The man deferred to Mia, allowing her to set the theme for the impromptu design.

After a brief contemplation, Mia came up with a theme that would test Stella’s skill to the fullest.

“For this task, you shall create an evening dress adorned with various hand-drawn flowers.

”

Stella’s brow furrowed.

The chosen theme was no walk in the park.

It demanded intricate design details and finesse when depicting the flowers.

Any slight tremor in her hand during the process could jeopardize all her previous efforts.
