She didn't shrink back from Franco's provocations. Instead, she fought back- hard.
And when it cto real ability, she made Franco look like a fool.
Every question he threw her way, she answered with effortless confidence.
There was no denying it: she was exceptional.
A woman who combined beauty and brains was hard to resist.
Noah had made up his mind-he was going to pursue Stella.
So, he had someone look into her background and soon knew much more about her.
She was divorced and had a child.
Even though Noah himself had never been married, in their modern, cosmopolitan world, it hardly counted as a
scandal.
When he found out she was a gifted violinist, Noah managed to get his hands on an invitation to an exclusive
music symposium-hoping it would be just the thing to win her over.
Mr. Walden was known for being picky about his protégés, but as a member of the powerful Sylvaris clan, Noah

But unlike his previous girlfriends who either accepted gifts outright or acted coy before relenting-Stella
surprised him.
She asked what was expected in return.
Noah had always thought that giving a woman a gift was just what men did.
But he was nothing if not tactful. Smiling, he said, "Franco is one of the judges on our panel. His outburst caused
Ms. Cameron quite a bit of grief today. This invitation is simply to make amends."
Stella arched an eyebrow. "And how did you know | played the violin, Mr. Noah?”
"I'm a fan of yours, Ms. Cameron," Noah replied smoothly.
But Stella was no naive girl to be easily swayed by flattery.
Of all the ways to compensate her, he just happened to offer exactly what she needed most-a ticket to the
symposium?
On any other day, Stella would have refused.
But right now, she needed that invitation.
"So, Mr. Noah, what do you need fromin return?"
Noah could tell Stella was not the type to accept favors lightly, and didn't press her.
"Your French is impressive, Ms. Cameron. Our team is looking for someone young, talented, and
fluent-just like you to help with
translation. Would you be
interested?"
Stella hesitated. "Most of my work is performing. I'm not sure | could manage a translation job on top of that..."
"There's no need to worry," Noah assured her. You wouldn't have to cin every day-just when our team needs
you and you're
available. Most of our assign net
are music-related, which happens to be your forte. As for compensation, we offer a fifty percent commission
based on the contract value. We'll also cover all your travel and living expenses. And if there's a breach of
contract on the client's side, you'll still receive fifty percent of the penalty fee."
Noah's offer was generous-almost too good to be true.
After all, his translation team operated at a world-class level, far beyond the reach of ordinary agencies.
Their contracts were worth several times, sometimes dozens of times, the industry average.
To join his team would be a win in every way.
And on top of that, it could open doors to meeting renowned musicians.
Stella weighed her options, then smiled and agreed.
“Alright.”
Noah extended his hand. "Then, Ms. Cameron, | look forward to working with you."
Stella shook his hand politely. "Likewise, Mr. Noah."
Solmaris, the Williams estate.
A young woman, graceful and poised, sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, scrolling through the news on her
phone.
"Coleman, looks like Raven Williams is trending online again."
The young man across from her barely looked up. "Seems like she's been in the spotlight a lot lately."
The woman took a delicate sip of
tea. "Maybe Raven just wants to prove herself-to show Dad
