Chapter 1275
When Love Comes Late
If you need my work, itâll have to be for the later parts.
â
âItâs fine,â Elizabeth responded, her smile masking a hint of sarcasm.
âAs long as you find the time.
â
With everyone in agreement, Luther announced, âLetâs get ready to shoot then.
â
The crew immediately busied themselves with their tasks.
The script revolved around a ballet dancerâs dream-chasing journey.
The opening scene required the heroine to dance in the snow.
Coincidentally, it was snowing heavily, eliminating the need for artificial snow but bringing the challenge of the cold.
Eyeing the thin costume, Elizabeth frowned, clearly reluctant to endure the cold.
After a momentâs thought, she said to Luther, âIâm not feeling well today.
Could we use a stand-in for this scene?â
Lutherâs displeasure was evident.
âA stand-in can be used for wide shots, but you must be present for the close-ups.
This is the first episode.
I expect full commitment.
â
He was clearly warning her, but Elizabeth was adamant about avoiding the cold.
âIâm on my period today.
Iâm genuinely uncomfortable.
â
As Lutherâs expression grew stern, Elizabeth, seizing an opportunity, pointed at Stella.
âWhat about having Stella stand in for me?â
No one in the room had anticipated Elizabethâs surprising request.
It caught them all off guard.
The shock was palpable, as they were all too aware that Stella was a designer, far from an actress or body double.
It left them pondering what was going on inside Elizabethâs mind.
Elizabeth maintained a serene smile as she continued, âStellaâs facial features and physique bear a resemblance to mine.
Enlisting her help just this once shouldnât pose an issue.
After all, weâre part of the same crew, sharing both triumphs and tribulations.
Itâs only fitting that we collaborate to prevent any disruptions in our progress.

She was confident that Luther wouldnât dare to challenge her, standing her ground firmly.
Furthermore, she emphasized her health concerns, adding, âIâm truly not feeling well.
Falling ill at this point would undoubtedly hinder the upcoming shoots.
â
It appeared that she was taking the bigger picture into account.
Luther furrowed his brow and gazed up at the heavily falling snowflakes.
Elizabethâs concerns seemed valid, but the question remained.
What about Stella?
He turned to Stella, an awkwardness lingering in the air, and sought her opinion.
âStella, what are your thoughts on this?â
Stella maintained her silence, setting aside her work as she approached Elizabeth.
âAre you absolutely certain you want me to stand in for you?â
