When Love Comes Late
Chapter 917

Stella brought the gathered information and her portfolio, setting off alongside Blue Flame’s team.

In Seamarsh Hotel, the waiter placed two cups of coffee on the table and politely excused himself.

Mia, with a composed demeanor, reached for her coffee and cast an indifferent gaze across the table at Alina.

Alina appeared nonchalant, her hands resting casually.

She exuded an air of icy sophistication, her captivating looks making her a rare beauty.

Perhaps this very allure played a part in her sustained top status and unwavering popularity.

However, her temperament…

Mia took a sip of coffee, placed the cup down.

“I’ve secured a new designer for you, Stella.

She will take charge of your dress for the upcoming award ceremony.

I’ll be leaving Seamarsh soon.

Should you encounter any issues, you can liaise with Stella.

”

Alina met Mia’s gaze in silence, her slender fingers leisurely encircling the coffee cup as she took another casual sip.

Mia recognized that Alina had absorbed her words and chose not to elaborate further, allowing a tense silence to envelop the room.

Before long, a faint sound emanated from the door, signaling the arrival of Blue Flame’s director, leading Stella into the room.

At first glance, Stella recognized Alina, who appeared even more resplendent and aloof in person than in her photos.

With her bag clenched nervously, Stella summoned her composure and addressed Alina.

“Hello, Miss Walker.

I’m Stella Anderson.

I’ll be overseeing your dress design from now on.

It’s a pleasure to meet …”

Alina cast a brief, scrutinizing glance at Stella before directing her gaze to Mia.

“Why have you chosen such a designer for me?” she inquired, her tone laced with disdain.

Alina’s words felt like an insult.

Stella frowned, feeling deeply uncomfortable under the top star’s humiliating gaze.

However, she knew that in order to ensure smooth cooperation in the future, she had to endure it.

With a stiff smile, she pursed her lips and said nothing.

The disdain on Alina’s face was painfully evident, and Mia couldn’t stand it any longer.

Her voice took on a serious tone as she defended her choice.

“Stella is the best designer I’ve selected this time.

Have you seen her designs?”

Taking a sip of her coffee, Alina replied nonchalantly, “I haven’t had the time to, but.
