“I can handle it.”
Matthew, respecting her determination, chose not to press further.
Upon reaching the set, he pulled over and opened the passenger door for her.
“You can head back,” Stella said as she stepped out of the car, intending to walk away.

Yet, in a swift motion, Matthew drew her back, encircling her waist with his arm and pulling her close.
He smoothed her hair back and ki*sed her forehead tenderly.
“See you tonight.”
Stella, flushed with embarrassment and wary of prying eyes, pushed him away.
“Okay.”
From the comfort of his opulent vehicle, Luka witnessed the exchange, a sneer curling his lip.
He had misjudged Stella the day before, not expecting the unassuming art director to be Matthew’s spouse.
The irony wasn’t lost on him-a lady of wealth working amidst the chaos of a film set.
Matthew drove off, and Stella turned away, ready to head to the set.
When she faced the other way, Luka stood by the fancy car, sporting a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes.
Still processing the recent scene, Stella couldn’t shake off the awkwardness. She managed a forced smile.
“Good morning.”

“Good morning.”
To her surprise, Luka responded with a smile, though it held a touch of mockery and disdain.
Stella’s smile faltered as she met his scrutinizing gaze.
Luka, barely hiding his contempt, commented, “Mrs. Clark, you must have been pretty exhausted from serving me all day yesterday.”
She instantly understood his implication. He was accusing her of using Matthew’s connection to get this job.
Stella tried to say something, but Luka shot her a meaningful look and strolled into the set.
Watching him walk away, Stella’s expression tensed.
It seemed like she was in for some trouble within the crew, but she figured she’d handle it one step at a time.
Luckily, the rest of the day went by without any hassle from Luka, and Stella’s work flowed smoothly.
