Chapter 1320
When Love Comes Late
With this plan, Leo shook his head with determination.
âI donât know.
I donât have any partners.
I was reckless today.
â
The man just laughed.
âYou have one day to think about it.
â
Back on the set, Elizabeth was showing off her skills, nailing the confrontation scene with Luka in one take.
Luther, who always Looked so serious, finally smiled for the first time in ages.
âGreat job! Luka, Elizabeth, go ahead and take a break.
I need to focus on the scenes with the supporting actors now.
â With those instructions, Luther turned his attention back to guiding the crew in their setup.
As Elizabeth and Luka were leaving the set, Stella noticed how Elizabethâs dramatic steps made her costumeâs feathers sway.
âElizabeth, your costumeâs feathers are really fragile.
Try not to lose any while youâre walking.
â
Elizabeth didnât say a word in response.
In a bold show of rebellion, she exaggerated her movements even more, causing feathers to drift to the floor.
Her eyes locked with Stellaâs, filled with fierce anger.
âHow poorly made is this? What if these useless decorations fall off during an important scene? Get it fixed now.
â
âEnough, Elizabeth,â Luka cut in, looking concerned.
âYou just got back and youâre already stirring up drama.
â
âCausing trouble?â Elizabeth let out a light laugh, Looking from Luka to Stella with a mischievous sparkle in her eyes.
âLuka, why are you sticking up for Stella? Sheâs a married woman.
You wouldnât want people to misconstrue your relationship, would you? Or is there something more between you two behind the scenes?â
âStay out of it.
â Lukaâs expression hardened.
âPeople who play dirty will face their downfall in time.
â
His eyes landed on the feathers lying there, and he shifted his attention to Stella.
âSheâs just trying to bait you.
Donât let her get to you.
â
Stella offered a slight smile.
âDonât worry.
Iâll take care of it.
â
Putting on a pair of gloves, Stella carefully picked up the feathers and gently cleaned them with a brush.
Then, bending down, she skillfully sewed them back onto the costume, her hands moving skillfully.
She kept her eyes down, speaking calmly.
âLuka once said that an actor has two souls, one intertwined with

the character they play.
Right now, you are Giselle, a ballerina dedicated to her craft, who would never let her costume be tarnished.
As you step back into the lead role, I ask you to put aside any personal grievances you have against me.
â
With that, Stella finished the last stitch, wrapping up the task.
Stella stood up and whispered to Elizabeth, âBut just so you know, I wonât let you get away with anything.
If you had anything to do with Leoâs situation, what happened to him will be nothing compared to what Iâll do to you.
â
The seriousness in Stellaâs voice made Elizabeth shiver in a way she couldnât ignore.
As the day wound down, Stella left the bustling film set behind.
Just as she was about to hail a cab, a quartet of suit-clad men approached her.
One of the men offered a polite nod.
âMrs.
Clark, Mr.
Clark has arranged for us to accompany you home.
