Soon, Stella’s phone was inundated with calls from journalists eager to schedule an exclusive interview.

Meanwhile, Matthew keenly tracked all online news related to Stella.

Matthew’s spirits lifted upon reading the positive comments.

“Reach out to every media outlet.

Make sure Stella gets all the attention she deserves,” he told Fernando.

After ending the call, Matthew leaned back in his chair, letting his eyes shut for a moment.

He recognized the vast effort Stella had poured into her work.

Being her husband, he was resolute in ensuring that her diligence wasn’t for naught.

Reopening his eyes with a slight squint, Matthew retrieved his phone and made a call.

He picked up his phone and dialed a number.

The line connected quickly.

Cutting straight to the chase, Matthew stated, “Slater, you’ve lost.

”

“You just couldn’t wait to gloat, could you?” A touch of regret was evident in Slater’s tone.

There was a momentary pause from Slater before he replied, a note of annoyance clear, “I remember.

A three-month stint consulting for Prosperity Group’s design department.

You have my word.

Pressing further, he added, “Did you set me up that evening, Matthew?”

The lack of an immediate response from Matthew only deepened Slater’s suspicions.

“You gave Stella some pointers on her designs, didn’t you?”

Slater surmised the reason for Matthew’s confidence in their wager.

Realization struck Slater that he’d been played by Matthew on the night of their bet.

“Quit guessing.

Simply accept that she was better than you this time around,” Matthew countered calmly.

“Don’t forget to report to Prosperity Group soon.
