With this plan, Leo shook his head with determination. “I don’t know.
I don’t have any partners. I was reckless today.”
The man just laughed. “You have one day to think about it.”
Back on the set, Elizabeth was showing off her skills, nailing the confrontation scene with Luka in one take. Luther, who always Looked so serious, finally smiled for the first time in ages.
“Great job! Luka, Elizabeth, go ahead and take a break. I need to focus on the scenes with the supporting actors now.” With those instructions, Luther turned his attention back to guiding the crew in their setup.
As Elizabeth and Luka were leaving the set, Stella noticed how Elizabeth’s dramatic steps made her costume’s feathers sway.
“Elizabeth, your costume’s feathers are really fragile. Try not to lose any while you’re walking.”
Elizabeth didn’t say a word in response.
In a bold show of rebellion, she exaggerated her movements even more, causing feathers to drift to the floor.
Her eyes locked with Stella’s, filled with fierce anger. “How poorly made is this? What if these useless decorations fall off during an important scene? Get it fixed now.”
“Enough, Elizabeth,” Luka cut in, looking concerned. “You just got back and you’re already stirring up drama.”

With that, Stella finished the last stitch, wrapping up the task.
Stella stood up and whispered to Elizabeth, “But just so you know, I won’t let you get away with anything. If you had anything to do with Leo’s situation, what happened to him will be nothing compared to what I’ll do to you.”
The seriousness in Stella’s voice made Elizabeth shiver in a way she couldn’t ignore.
As the day wound down, Stella left the bustling film set behind.
Just as she was about to hail a cab, a quartet of suit-clad men approached her.
