“Flossie Diaz,” he murmured to himself.
Having sorted out their issues with Benny temporarily, Matthew and Stella finally enjoyed a restful night’s sleep.
Early the next morning, Stella rose and headed straight to the film set.
She had recently joined the team and, having just taken a day off, felt it was inappropriate to ask for more time away.
Matthew had planned to drive her, but Amara’s injury required his attention, so he arranged for a bodyguard to take Stella instead.
Upon arriving at the set, Stella ran into Luka.
He greeted her with a mix of indifference and slight sarcasm.
“Mrs. Clark, your dedication is admirable, arriving early like this. Quite the hard worker. Yet, you’ve already taken a day off after just a few days here. If the film set’s too much for you, maybe it’s best to go home and let your husband look after you.”
Stella remained silent, choosing not to engage in an argument, especially about her relationship with Matthew.
She knew people often believed what they wanted, regardless of the truth.
Luka didn’t Linger long in his mockery and soon departed.
Stella immersed herself in work, organizing the costumes for the day’s shoot.
It wasn’t until Luka’s first scene started that she had a chance to break.

Stella, initially just passing time, found herself captivated by the scene, feeling the sorrow of the female lead being broken up with and her desperate longing to cling on.
It was only when the director called cut that Stella was jolted back to reality, taking a moment to return from her deep absorption in the performance.
Luka grabbed a towel from his assistant and quickly dried his hair.
He spotted Stella daydreaming nearby and called out to her, “Why are you still here? The next scene’s about to start. Aren’t you getting the outfits ready?”
Snapped back to reality by Luka’s voice, Stella looked up at him.
That was when Luka noticed her eyes, red around the edges. He paused, then flashed a cheeky grin.
“Pretty good acting, huh? Did it surprise you?”
Annoyed by his cockiness yet unable to deny his talent, Stella gave a small nod.
