Chapter 1048

“Ouch.

”

Stella immediately perked up.

“What’s wrong? Are you okay?”

Matthew couldn’t hold it and cracked a laugh.

“So you still do care about me.

”

Stella realized she had been deceived.

She glared at him, pulled the rack, and walked into the shooting site.

Matthew silently trailed behind.

Upon reaching the workroom, they observed several employees chatting, seemingly indifferent to Stella’s solo efforts.

No one even bothered to offer a hand.

It appeared that this working dynamic was widely accepted.

With a stern expression, Matthew questioned sharply, “Who asked Stella to pull so many clothing racks alone?”

He was well known for his domineering demeanor.

He stood at the doorway exuding a cold aura.

Although he didn’t appear angry, his mere presence was intimidating.

The entire room instantly fell silent.

“It was me.

” Luka stood up from his seat and spoke lazily.

“I asked her to move them.

What about it?”

Matthew scrutinized him carefully.

As their eyes locked, a silent battle seemed to unfold between the two of them.

The room fell silent as everyone’s eyes shifted between the three individuals.

Feeling the weight of their gaze, Stella cleared her throat and addressed Matthew.

“Wait for me outside.

I’ll join you when I finish my work.

”

Given Matthew’s influential position, the crew naturally respected him.

Stella preferred being regarded as an ordinary colleague rather than leveraging her Mrs.

Clark status for privileges.

She didn’t want people to fear her identity.

“I’ll wait for you here.

” Matthew withdrew his gaze.

Determined, Stella asserted, “Your presence here will affect everyone’s work.

You don’t have to be here.

”

Though Matthew wanted to say more, he ultimately nodded.
