Chapter 1045

She composed herself and looked at him, tears glistening in her eyes.

The man’s countenance was icy, his gaze indifferent, and his features sharp.

He bore no resemblance to Farris.

It seemed her longing had created an illusion.

Stella recalled that he was the movie’s lead actor, Luka Swain, a nominee for the Best Actor award.

Realizing her mistake, Stella was about to retract her hand when the man impatiently pulled his arm away.

Luka’s face remained cool.

“Who let you in?”

Startled by his cold tone, Stella instinctively shrank her shoulders.

She stammered an apology.

“I’m sorry.

I mistook you for someone else.

I’m…”

“Mistook me for someone else?” Luka scoffed.

“What a poor excuse for stalking! I don’t care how you snuck in.

Leave immediately, or I’ll call the police.

”

“I am not…” Stella attempted to clarify her identity, but Luka didn’t give her a chance.

“It’s your usual trick to deny everything to the end.

You better leave before you regret it,” Luka growled.

Just in time, Alina arrived.

“Stella, I’ve been looking for you everywhere.

So, you’re here.

”

Noticing Luka’s presence, Alina was surprised and flashed him a smile.

“You’re here too.

It’s a great opportunity for introductions.

This is Stella, the art director for this movie.

”

Luka pursed his lips, his expression shifting from disgust to scrutiny as he gazed at Stella.

He turned to Alina, questioning, “Are you sure? Does she have what it takes to be an art director?”

The smile on Alina’s face froze.

Stella met Luka’s gaze and saw disdain written all over.

She straightened her clothes and spoke earnestly.

“It was an accident.

I mistook you for a good friend.

I sincerely apologize.

But please don’t doubt my ability.

I’ll be your fashion designer from now on.

We need to get along.
