Recalling Matthew’s instructions, Stella acknowledged with a nod and quickly sent him a message to keep him informed.
Luka, emerging at that moment, noticed Stella’s company, confused.
He approached after sending his assistant ahead. “What a coincidence!
Heading home? Could I perhaps join you in your car?”
Stella refused, wary of spending time alone with Luka in Matthew’s absence. “I don’t think we’re headed in the same direction.”
Luka, however, pressed on, “A few overzealous fans followed me to the set and were waiting by my car, so I had my assistant drive it away to lead them off. Could you bear to leave me to the mercy of a taxi queue, potentially swarmed by fans?”

With only the two of them left inside, Luka waited patiently for Stella to speak.
After gathering her thoughts, Stella revealed, “Today, someone attempted to me on set. Thankfully, Matthew was there in time to prevent any harm.”
Concern etched across Luka’s features, he inquired, “And where is Matthew now?”
“He’s tied up with company matters,” Stella informed him. “I’m alright, just the location of today’s shoot brought back unsettling memories. I apologize for any inconvenience caused.”
“No inconvenience at all,” Luka reassured her. “Let’s get you home safely. I’ll arrange for my assistant to fetch me later. Ensure you rest well tonight.”
