Chapter 1046
When Love Comes Late
Luka curved his lips.
âI donât know why the director made such a decision, but if youâre going to stay at the shooting site as an art director, youâll need my approval.
If you canât earn it, youâre free to leave.
â
Stella paused and nodded.
âOf course.
â
Without saying anything else, Luka turned and walked away.
Before Alina could inquire about what had transpired between Stella and Luka, she was called away by the staff to prepare for the shoot.
Stella wasnât sure if Luka was intentionally making things difficult for her.
It wasnât until nearly dusk that she received notice to measure his size.

Her stomach complained as she stared at the food in front of her, but she reluctantly put it aside and went about her task.
Because of the earlier events, Stella had already sensed Lukaâs arrogance and rudeness.
She had no intention of escalating the conflict to further fuel his dislike for her.
She maintained a professional demeanor as she proceeded to measure Lukaâs size.
Once finished, she informed him, âIâve read the script and will pre-select the clothes for episodes 1-10.
â
Luka shook his head, stating firmly, âI need to inspect the clothes before making a decision.
â
The implication was clear: Stella didnât have the authority to make decisions.
Stella chose not to engage in an argument.
Instead, she turned to the staff member, Brook Holmes, and said, âPlease help me bring over the clothing racks.
â
âSure.
â Brook set aside his work, ready to leave.
âWait a moment,â Luka interjected.
âYou stay here.
â
He turned and glanced at Stella, who was still fiddling with a measuring tape.
âYou go get it.
â
Stella instantly froze.
Given the numerous clothes at the shooting site and the heavy clothing racks, it was impractical for her to move it swiftly.
A tense silence hung in the air.
Brook, sensing the awkwardness, looked at Luka and attempted to speak up for Stella.
âStella just arrived at the shooting site today, so she might not be familiar with the surroundings.
Iâll assist her.
â
âJust let her go alone.
â The smile on Lukaâs face widened.
He turned to Brook and said, âI have other tasks for you.
