When Love Comes Late
Chapter 963

She looks exceptionally lovely!”

“Absolutely.

She stands alone in her grandeur today!”

The cameraman lingered on Alina’s dress for a lingering moment before zooming in on her face.

Her seductive figure was the center of attention for the camera.

The cameraman snapped pictures fervently, silently admiring, “She’s so perfect.

”

Alina gave the camera a playful wink, sending the crowd into a frenzy over her allure.

With a smile and a nod, she gracefully descended the stairs, dress in hand.

As she walked away, the host couldn’t help but declare, “Tonight, Alina truly is our mermaid princess.

”

The focus shifted away from Alina, and her entourage was quick to surround her.

An assistant dr@ped a light coat over her shoulders, guiding her to the waiting car for the next event.

The award show was airing live that evening.

Stella watched from the car, the online comments overflowing with compliments for Alina.

Then the door swung open, and Alina ducked into the car, tossing her coat aside without a thought.

Stella muted the tablet, looked up at Alina with genuine admiration, and said, “You’re the talk of the town.

Everyone, both here and online, can’t take their eyes off you.

”

Alina caught a glimpse of the tablet and the glowing comments, but her reaction was subdued.

“That’s to be expected,” she remarked calmly.

Something then crossed her mind, prompting her to ask, “What about the other celebrities’ outfits?”

That was what really interested her.

At that moment, other stars were gracing the red carpet.

Stella peeked at the screen and stated confidently, “From what I see, you’re unmatched tonight.

”

Alina’s tension eased with those words, and she smiled.

“I always appreciate your confidence.

”

As the ceremony began and Alina ascended the stage to collect her awards, Stella watched from the sidelines among the crew.

It was clear to her how much Alina stood out.

Blue Flame’s employees were glued to their phones, their excitement palpable.

“We’ve done it! Alina’s shot to the top spot!”

“ALL the headlines on major news sites tonight are about Alina.

”

“Alina’s fame has hit a new peak.

She’s her only real competition!”

Stella was also surfing through the comments, stealing glances at Alina onstage.

When Alina finished her graceful acceptance speech, the host promptly inquired, “Alina, your dress tonight is different from your usual style, and it looks stunning.

Did you pick it out yourself?”

With a smile to the host, Alina responded, “The dress is the work of an up-and-coming designer.

”

She turned to the crowd and declared, “Her name is Stella Anderson.

”
