But to her surprise, she found no video.
With a frown, Stella remembered clearly that the camera had been recording during Leo’s unwelcome advances.
The disappearance of the video left her deeply unsettled.
Matthew followed Stella closely, a look of concern etched across his face. “What happened?” he asked.
“Leo tried to record something earlier,” Stella began to explain. “I saw the camera was on, but it didn’t record anything.”
Matthew took the camera from her to examine it, but he couldn’t find any problem.
He then gently set the camera aside. In a reassuring tone, he said, “Don’t worry. From now on, I’ll have someone watch over you. You’re in good hands.”
As soon as he finished his sentence, his phone rang. He looked at it briefly before dismissing the call.
A moment later, Stella said calmly, “Go back to your work. I’m okay.”
“I’ll stay till you’re finished. It’s mot a problem,” Matthew answered, determined not to leave her side.
Trying not to interfere with his responsibilities, Stella offered a reassuring smile and said, “I’m really okay. Having you here makes me nervous while filming. If I mess up, it’ll just upset me more. You should get back to your work.”
Matthew studied Stella for a bit longer before he was convinced she was alright and then left.

“Do you feel stressed?” the makeup artist asked, trying to make conversation. “You w

ere amazing in yesterday’s performance. Just relax. You’ve been portraying your character so well, even though it’s only been a few days.”
Stella was distracted, giving only short answers and not much interested in chatting.
After her makeup was done, Stella went back to the set. Luther was there, behind the monitor, directing the crew for the next shot.
Luka came over to Stella, advising, “Focus on this scene. We’ll try to get it in one take.”
As he finished speaking, Luka noticed Stella looked distant and quiet.
Seeing her like this, he became concerned. “You seem out of it. Is something on your mind? What’s wrong?”
Stella just shook her head and didn’t say anything.
Seeing her silence, Luka wanted to ask more but was cut off by Luther’s loud call, saying, “Everyone, get ready!”
