When Love Comes Late

Miley, in her role as a mentor and guide, accompanied Stella and Flossie to the competition site.

Together, they entered the building and ascended in the elevator, with Miley positioned in the middle, linking her arms with both Stella and Flossie.

As the elevator doors slid open on the top floor, Miley released her grasp, her attention on Flossie’s outfit.

“I’ll head backstage to check on Flossie’s attire.

You two can mingle with the other contestants, and later, come find me.

Stella nodded in agreement.

With a final hug, Miley left Stella with warm encouragement.

“Remember, no matter the outcome, you’re a star in my eyes.

”

Stella’s heart swelled with appreciation, and she responded with heartfelt sincerity, “Thank you.

Parting ways with Miley, Stella guided Flossie down the hall.

The corridor twisted and turned until they reached a heavy, ornately patterned metal door.

Positioned by the door were two impeccably dressed attendants.

Together, the waiters exerted effort to swing open the weighty door.

Inside, the hall dazzled with brilliant illumination and opulent decorations.

The transparent T-stage afforded a view of flowing water underneath, an exquisite touch to the grandeur.

The hall bustled with people, contestants and distinguished guests alike.

As Stella crossed the threshold, her eyes immediately landed on Zola, who was immersed in animated conversation.

Holding a glass of wine and dr@ped in a striking wine-red evening gown, Zola commanded attention.

Stella’s brow furrowed.

She hadn’t anticipated that Zola would choose the same wine-red hue for her attire.

Zola, too, spotted Stella in the crowd at this moment.

Her expression underwent a rapid transformation as she advanced towards Stella.

Stella remained composed, maintaining decorum as she offered a nod of acknowledgment when Zola arrived.

After Zola stood in front of Stella, she realized that Stella’s makeup tonight was very exquisite.

Although it was light makeup, it made her have a temperament that no one could compare with.
