Chapter 1288
When Love Comes Late
Stella assumed Luther was going to address the incident in the bathroom, so as soon as she stepped into the lounge, she rushed to clarify, âLuther, I swear Iâve never hurt Elizabeth or longed for the leading lady spot.
This movie is my chance to shine in the international fashion scene.
Iâd never do something so foolishâ¦â
Luther interrupted her with a raised hand.
Stella was puzzled, and his smile only added to her confusion.
âIâm not interested in digging into what just happened,â Luther said, still smiling.
Stellaâs confusion grew.
âSo, what do you need from me?
Luther invited her to sit and cautiously proposed, âHow about taking a role in a movie?â
âAs an actress?â Stella blurted out, totally taken aback.
âExactly, as the movieâs leading lady,â Luther confirmed.
Stella was even more surprised and declined.
âIâm really sorry, but I canât accept.
Iâve never acted before, and I certainly havenât studied acting.
I couldnât possibly tarnish your reputation.
â
Luther simply smiled at her, clearly not deterred by her refusal.
Stella felt the need to press the issue.
âAlso, youâve already announced the movie, and Elizabeth is supposed to be the lead.

ned silent.
With a smile, Luther continued, âYou know, Elizabeth comes from a wealthy family, so itâs natural she gives off that vibe.
However, for the movie, Iâm aiming for perfection, which is why I want you on board.
â
He squinted slightly and lowered his voice.
âAlso, I think Elizabeth can be quite a handful.
Sheâs stirred up quite a bit on set.
Without keeping her in check, I donât know what sheâll do next.
â
Then, turning his gaze back to Stella, he continued, âThatâs why Iâve decided to have two lead actresses.
Youâll play Giselle in her early days, and Elizabeth will take over as Giselle gains fame.
It shouldnât cause any issues.
What do you think?â
Stella, never having acted before, felt out of her depth.
What weighed on her more was her ongoing tension with Elizabeth.
Accepting the role would likely escalate their feud.
She didnât want any drama.
She just aimed to do her job.
