The question resonated deeply with Elizabeth, igniting her eagerness to push Stella aside and seize back her position as the leading lady.
Despite her enthusiasm, Elizabeth remained collected. “I’ve been diving deep into the script these last few days. My last go was just skimming the surface. If you’re open to it, I’m game to step in anytime.”
Luther gave her a nod of approval. “Today, the stage is yours.
Stella will be sitting out.”
“Just one thing…” Elizabeth hesitated to continue.
Luther’s brow creased with thought. “Is there something else?”
Elizabeth’s words were laced with a touch of regret. “I’ve got my makeup down perfectly, but I still haven’t settled on an outfit.
Could you ask Stella to help me out? Her style is flawless, you know.
I want this movie to be flawless too.”
Luther nodded in agreement, clearly pleased with Elizabeth’s approach that day.
He turned to Stella, who was standing off to the side in silence, and said, “Stella, we’ve got the earlier scenes in the can. How about we let Elizabeth take the lead for the next ones? It’ll bring a nice sense of consistency to the story. From now on, you can get back to focusing on Elizabeth’s wardrobe.”
A quiet buzz of surprise rippled through the crowd, as they internally applauded Elizabeth’s clever tactic.
Stella’s gaze locked onto Elizabeth’s, her lips pressed firmly together, showing she wasn’t about to yield under Elizabeth’s intense Look.
“Lu…” Luka couldn’t stand to look on any longer and felt the urge to defend Stella, but the moment he tried to speak, Stella silenced him with a hand.

Luther didn’t respond, just casually waved his hand, indicating Stella should get Elizabeth’s outfit quickly.
After a brief exchange of courtesies with Luther, Elizabeth left, Rose close behind.
Stella hung back. Once they were out of hearing range, she confronted Rose. “What was in that drink you gave me today?”

Taken aback, Elizabeth and Rose stopped, looking at each other in shock. Rose put on an act of confusion, responding in an innocent voice, “What are you suggesting, Stella? I just did what the director told me to and did your makeup. Is something wrong?”
“You’re not telling the truth, Rose! How about we ask the director if he ever asked you to handle my makeup specifically?” Stella’s Look turned steely, her tone edged with accusation.
“Why are you being so unreasonable? I’m at a loss as to why you’re upset with me,” Rose answered with a facade of confusion, unfazed.
Stella’s voice took on a low, threatening tone. “Just wait. I’ll figure this out.”
A wave of pleasure washed over Elizabeth as she witnessed Stella’s evident irritation.
Despite her complex scheme to have Leo harm Stella not fully succeeding, she still had the damning video in her possession.
