The room erupted in cheers as Alina concluded her announcement.
Ste was caught by surprise.
“Ste, you’re about to hit the big time!” A staff member standing beside Ste 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.
”
Ste epted 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 Ste had once pegged her to be.
Moved by the gesture, Ste’s face lit up with a heartfelt smile.
“Congrattions to the best designer of this year’s award ceremony!”
Ste 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 impably dressed in a dark blue suit that entuated his tall stature and exuded an air of sophistication.
Standing side by side, they looked like a perfect couple.
“Why are you here?” Ste asked softly, regaining herposure.
Matthew tilted his head and smiled.
“I came to see my wife’s work.
I must say, I’m very impressed.
”
While heplimented Alina’s dress, his gaze lingered on Ste.
The glint in his eyes gave another meaning to his words.
Ste’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 dr@ped over her shoulder.
He leaned in, his breath warm against her ear as he whispered, “Let’s celebrate at hometer tonight.

Ste turned, locking eyes with him for a fleeting moment.
She instantly understood the hidden meaning behind his words.
