Debora’s vibe was chillier compared to Stella’s excitement. She flashed a smile at Stella but her eyes darted past her. “Long time no see, huh?”
Stella turned to see Luka standing behind her.
Luka’s face tensed for a moment. But he quickly smoothed it out and greeted Debora. “Long time, indeed.”
Stella’s eyes bounced between them. Did Luka and Debora have history?

But Luka didn’t catch her gaze. He just said to Debora, “Stella’s new to the game. You’ve got experience. Look out for her.”

Debora gave a slight nod but her face looked off.
“Alright, now that we’re all acquainted, let’s prep for the shoot,”
Luther chimed in.
Thirty minutes later, the actors were set.
It was showdown time between Stella and Debora. Stella was definitely feeling the nerves now.
In today’s scene, Debora’s character misunderstood the heroine, almost slapping her but holding back.
“Action!” Luther’s call snapped Stella into focus.
Debora stared at Stella, her heart torn. With a heavy hand, she swung.
Slap!
The slap left everyone stunned.
Luther’s face scrunched up, ready to yell “cut,” but Stella kept going with her lines.
“Is that how you see me?” Stella hid her face, tears welling up as she glanced at Debora.
Debora froze, staring at Stella with wide eyes.
The whole set hushed, waiting for Debora’s comeback. But she stayed silent for ages.
“Cut,” Luther called out. “Let’s give the actors a breather.”
Debora slowly snapped out of it, her gaze fixated on the handprint she left on Stella’s cheek.
The makeup artist spotted it too and rushed over with an ice pack.
Debora mumbled an apology to Stella, her voice barely audible.
She couldn’t understand why she’d lost control like that.
