Chapter 1316

Realizing the need to focus on the immediate task, Luka decided to hold his questions until after the filming.

The scene they were about to shoot showed the first big argument between Giselle and Arthur since they became a couple.

As Luther shouted “Action,” Luka quickly got into character.

“Giselle, you shouldn’t take that job.

If it’s money you need, I can help.

”

“It’s not about the money, Arthur…”

“Cut!” Luther stopped the scene abruptly.

“Stella, Is that really your line?”

“I’m sorry,” Stella said, acknowledging her error in the dialogue.

She was supposed to say, “Arthur, I have my own dreams and goals.

I’m not just something you can keep for your amusement.

”

“Please go over your lines again.

Let’s try to avoid any more errors.

”

Luther offered her another opportunity.

As they tried the scene again, Luka nailed his part, but Stella seemed off.

With a serious look, Luther stopped the scene once more.

He gave Stella a brief moment to gather her thoughts before they attempted another take.

However, during the third try, Stella mistakenly called Luka by his real name, not his character’s name.

Luther, now frustrated, turned to Stella and said, “What’s happening with you?” Did the compliments from yesterday make you too comfortable? I saw potential in you and wanted to help you grow.

But now, you’re repeating the same simple mistake three times!”

Stella just pressed her lips tightly together and looked down, not saying a word.

Luka, with a furrowed brow, noticed the genuine concern in Luther’s tone as he spoke to Stella.

Feeling the tension rise, he quickly stepped in as a peacemaker.

“Stella just got her big break yesterday, she’s still new to all this.

She’s bound to feel a bit overwhelmed.

Let’s give her a second to get her bearings.

I have faith she’ll live up to expectations.

”

Luther glanced at Stella and let out a sigh, then said with a dismissive gesture, “Fine, Stella.

Take another ten minutes to prepare yourself.

Despite his doubts, he knew he was the one who had chosen her for the part.

Plus, she was Matthew’s partner, which deserved some respect.

“Thanks, Luther,” Stella replied.

She grabbed the script and dove back into practicing her lines.

Luka moved closer to her and sneaked a peek at Stella’s script, seeing the thorough notes that showed how serious she was about her work.

Without thinking, he reached out to pat her shoulder but she dodged away.

Stella looked at him, her face strained and tense.

“Is something the matter?”

Realizing she might not want to be touched, Luka pulled back his hand.

“It’s normal for actors to have ups and downs.

I don’t know why you’re having a tough time today, but if you really want to act, you’ve got to concentrate and put in everything you have.
