Chapter 1202

With a polite yet somewhat forced smile, Elizabeth extended her hand to Stella.

“Luther mentioned you’ll be the artistic director for the upcoming movie.

My mother recognizes your talent, and I feel quite confident about working under your direction.

I’m looking forward to a fruitful collaboration.

”

Sensing an underlying tension beneath Elizabeth’s cordial facade, Stella hesitated momentarily before accepting the handshake.

“I, too, anticipate a successful partnership.

”

The banquet drew to a close, and Matthew, aware of Stella’s probable exhaustion, promptly escorted her to Leave.

As they approached the parking lot, secluded from the crowd, Stella was about to broach the topic of Bella.

However, her words were cut short by a voice calling from behind.

“Mr.

Clark…”

Stella glanced over and noticed Elizabeth approaching.

Her expression showed a mix of surprise and politeness as she asked, “Miss Wallace, do you need something?”

Elizabeth stopped right there, fixing her gaze on Matthew.

“I had a bit too much to drink at the party, and I can’t find a driver.

Could I ride with you, Mr.

Clark?”

Her tone was questioning, yet her request left little room for a no.

Matthew barely glanced at her, responding icily, “There are plenty of taxis in Seamarsh.

”

Elizabeth’s face fell at his blunt refusal, clearly not expecting it.

But she wasn’t ready to give up.

Turning to Stella with a Look of distress, she pleaded, “Mrs.

Clark, my dress isn’t exactly taxi-friendly.

Could you please give me a ride?”

She clutched her chest with one hand and pressed the other to her forehead, looking both weary and weak.

Stella hesitated for a moment, feeling sympathy for Elizabeth’s situation.

Finally, she gave in and said, “Okay.

”

She knew they’d be working together on an upcoming film and didn’t want to start off on the wrong foot.

Matthew seemed ready to object again when Elizabeth swiftly opened the car’s front passenger door.

Facing Stella’s slightly troubled look, Elizabeth apologized with a smile, “I’m sorry, Mrs.

Clark, but I get car sick easily.

I usually sit in the front.

”

As she spoke, she began to step into the car.

Suddenly, a car screeched to a halt beside them, its brakes squealing loudly.

Elizabeth stopped, startled by the noise.

The car window rolled down smoothly, and Luka popped his head out, eyebrows slightly raised.

“Miss Wallace, are you heading home? Come on.

Hop in my car.

I’ll drive you.

”

Elizabeth was about to decline, but Luka quickly interrupted, “Mr.

and Mrs.

Clark need some private time.

Better not to get in their way.

” He gestured towards Elizabeth with a playful tilt of his chin.

“It’s just me in my car.

You can talk with me.

I’d love to give a ride to a beautiful lady Like you.

”

Stella felt a sense of relief at Luka’s arrival.

She smiled warmly.

“Well, if that’s the case, thanks for taking Elizabeth home.

”
