Soon after, Luka emerged from the consulting room. Stella quickly approached him with concern. “What did the doctor say? Is your condition serious? Do you need to stay in the hospital?”
“No, it’s not that severe. It didn’t affect the muscles or bones. I just need to apply some medicine for a couple of days,” Luka replied casually.
“That’s a relief,” Stella responded, visibly reassured.
Then, remembering the evening’s plans, she asked, “Are you planning to go to the banquet tonight? If you’re not feeling well, it’s better to rest at home. Don’t overexert yourself.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll definitely be there,” Luka responded with a smile.
Patti Curtis, an actress, struggled with her dress at home in preparation for the dinner party. Despite multiple attempts, she couldn’t manage to zip it up.
She had shed ten pounds to fit into this dress, yet it still seemed too snug.
Growing increasingly frustrated, Patti made several more attempts before losing her patience. “Camilla, come in here and help me zip this up!” she yelled at her assistant.
“Okay, Patti,” Camilla responded, quickly entering the room.
“Hurry up and help me with the zipper,” Patti snapped.
Camilla approached cautiously, her head lowered. She knew an accidental touch or tear might irritate Patti and provoke another outburst.
Despite Camilla’s best efforts, the zipper remained stuck. “Patti, perhaps you could wear a different dress?” Camilla suggested, gathering her courage.

“I must wear this dress today.” Patti’s glare was sharp and immediate.
The wrap party for the movie “Cliff,” directed by Luther, was set to take place tonight at Seamarsh’s top hotel.
This high-profile film attracted a continuous flow of celebrities and business magnates to its celebration.
Everyone was eager to make an appearance before the film’s release, but Patti had a more specific motive. She was attending mainly for Luka.
Patti had shared several scenes with Luka in the movie. Though her role was brief, spanning just a few minutes, she had become infatuated with him during their time on set.
For this occasion, Patti had invested heavily in a limited-edition dress imported from overseas months in advance. She wanted to look her absolute best in front of Luka.
She was determined not to let this opportunity slip away.
Staring at Camilla, Patti said sternly, “Hurry! If I can’t wear this dress tonight, consider your job gone.”
Camilla, accustomed to Patti’s demanding nature, silently bowed her head.
She had long learned that working with Patti was challenging, but it was a job she couldn’t easily let go of.
“Take a deep breath, Patti,” Camilla said, stepping closer.
Following the instruction, Patti inhaled deeply, and with that, Camilla finally managed to zip the dress.
