When sitting on the plane back to City N, Stella kept looking out of the window. Though this land was
unfamiliar, she had countless ties with it.
When she and Clarence were leaving, the child seemed to have sensed something. He stretched his
hands towards her with wide eyes and a down spirit, calling her, “Mama...”
At that moment, she felt like crying and wanted so much to hug him. But Clarence held her hand and
said, “Don’t turn around. The more you look at him, the harder he cries.”
Tears welling up in her eyes, she was led forward by Clarence. Soon they heard the sound of the child
crying from behind.
Until now, she could still hear this voice in her head.
She just could not erase it.
She closed her eyes slowly, tears about to fall down.
Clarence sat next to her and held her in his arms. “Go to sleep. When you wake up, you will be home.”
After a while, she said, “Three months is not very long indeed.”
He nodded and said, “It will be soon.”
“When the winter comes, he will be able to come back to me,” she said.
He did not say anything, but patted her back and then looked out of the window.
At this time, the plane was flying smoothly in the air. The clouds in the sky were converging.
A few hours later, they arrived in City N.
It was only 4:30 p.m., so Stella went to the studio.
Clarence sent her to the door. “I'm going to Steward Group, and I'll pick you up later.”
She nodded her head. “You don’t need to pick me up. I can go back with Sherry.”
Whether it was Complex Corporation or Southwest, he had to handle the business himself.
He did not know when things would be over.
He said, “I will call you later.”
“Okay.”
After watching the black car slowly drive away, she then withdrew her eyes and walked towards the
studio.
There were a lot customers at this time. Looking around, she did not see Sherry, so she went to the
shooting studio.
Sherry was really here.
However, she was not taking photos but sitting crosse-legged on the floor, holding a camera and wiping
it, lost in thought.
Stella walked over and sat next to her. “Sherry.”
Sherry suddenly returned to her senses, put down the camera in her hand and said happily, “Stella, you
are back.”
Stella smiled and asked, “What are you doing here?”
“Since there was nothing to do, I decided to clean all these up.” While speaking, Sherry looked around,
“Where is my godson? Didn’t you say he would come back with you? Did he go straight home?”
Stella hugged her legs with her chin on knees, and sighed, “No. He has to wait for a while longer to
come back here.”
“Oh...” Sherry wanted to ask what happened, but when seeing Stella’s face, she patted her shoulder,
saying, “There's no hurry. Let’s just wait a little longer.”
Stella managed a weak smile with her head down.
Seeing her like this, Sherry instantly changed the topic. “I've been thinking about the thing you said to
me before. Since we don’t have to prepare for fashion week, and our studio has been open for so long.
Now with the online channel, we can put all our energy into promoting the brand.”
She added, “Here are my thoughts. We can first find a celebrity for endorsement to enhance brand
awareness. Didn’t some influencers contact us before and say they wanted to do promotion? We can
do it on all major platforms at the same time...”
She spoke in an exciting way, having a grand scenario in her head
Finally, she concluded, “I also thought about a problem carefully that day. Our studio can't just confine
ourselves to such a small place. The brand ‘Starry Sky’ will go international sooner or later. So we must
pay attention to all aspects, including the ones that we ignored before.”
While saying this, she looked at Stella. “Don’t worry. Just leave these things to me. You will still be in
charge of the design. I will...”
“Sherry,” Stella suddenly spoke, “I am sorry. I may not have that much energy and time within these
few months.”
Sherry remembered that Stella had told her about having another baby and that was why she decided
to give up the fashion week.
She patted her forehead and said, “I forgot...”
Then she added, “Okay. Then we take it slow. Well, let’s decide the spokesperson first. The rest will be
handled step by step.”
The two looked at each other, and when their eyes met, they spoke at the same time, “Winnie?”
So an hour later, Winnie sat in the lounge.
She looked at Stella and then Sherry, picking up a glass of water. “What is the matter? Just say it
frankly. Don’t look at me like that. I am scared.”
Sherry said, “There is a good news and a bad one. Which one do you want to hear first?”
Winnie said, “The bad one.”
Sherry said seriously, “Then I will say the good one first.”
Winnie got speechless.
“I fear that you may hit me after hearing the bad news,” Sherry said.
Winnie put down the glass and said, “Spit it out.”
Sherry scratched her head and said, “Here is the thing. I discussed it with Stella and we decided to find
a brand ambassador to promote our brand.”
When Stella and Sherry first set up the studio, Winnie wore some necklaces designed by Stella when
she attended events. It was like indirect advertisement that had helped attracted lots of clients to the
studio.
Hearing this, Winnie said, “This is a good thing.”
Sherry said sheepishly, “Is it? I think so too...”
Winnie gradually understood something. “Do you want me to be the spokesperson?”
Stella replied, “Yes.”
Winnie frowned for a moment before saying, “I am okay with it. But you also know that there are some
problems with my work after I terminated my contract with Conrad Group. I am afraid that my situation
may not help with your studio.”
Anyone who intended to do a brand promotion wanted to make the brand more popular.
But Winnie thought her situation might make things worse for them.
Stella said, “We are friends. As long as you can give us an endorsement, it’s the best for us.”
Winnie thought about it and nodded gently. “What about the bad news?”
Sherry coughed to hide her embarrassment and said hesitantly, “I inquired about your endorsement
fee. We can’t even afford to pay a tenth of it.”
Winnie got speechless at first and then laughed out. “Are you actually worrying about this?”
Stella touched her neck and spoke in a tentative way, “Or maybe we can pay in installments, huh?”
Sherry quickly chimed in, “Yes, yes. Please think about it.”
