Chapter 1502

Stella was taken aback and froze, unsure of what action to take next.

The cleaning lady peeked out from behind her, commenting, “This fellow looks like an actor.

His name is…”

Upon hearing this, Stella quickly ushered her aside.

“I’ve seen him in a movie before…” The cleaning lady tried hard to remember.

Stella pulled out some money from her purse, handed it to her, and warned, “Forget everything you just saw.

If you spill the beans, you’ll be out of a job in Seamarsh forever.

”

The janitor nodded cautiously.

Without another word, Stella entered the room and closed the door behind her.

She went back to Luka to check on him, feeling almost certain he had been drugged.

“Luka, can you hear me? It’s Stella,” she said, gently tapping on his face.

Luka opened his eyes, which were bloodshot, indicating he might have heard her.

Then he whispered weakly, “Stella… help me.

I feel awful.

”

He adjusted his collar and unfastened a few buttons on his shirt.

Stella squinted, searching for a way out.

She knew she couldn’t call for an ambulance.

The movie wrap-up had just concluded, and surely, reporters were lurking below, eager for a scoop.

Taking Luka to the hospital would only feed the media frenzy.

Mulling over her options, she dialed Matthew.

“Get to Room 1605, quick.

We’ve got trouble,” she blurted out as soon as he picked up.

Before she could hang up, Luka’s arms enveloped her in an unexpected embrace, causing her to drop her phone in surprise.

Without a moment to retrieve it, she tried to shake off his grip.

“Luka, snap out of it.

It’s me, Stella!”

Right then, the door swung open.

Debora entered, all smiles, until her gaze fell on Stella, and her demeanor shifted to a scowl.

“What are you doing here? How did you get in?”

Freeing herself from Luka’s hold, Stella stood to face Debora, instantly grasping the situation.

With a cold edge to her voice, she asked, “Why would you drug Luka?

Do you realize the damage this could do to his career and our movie’s press tour?”

“This doesn’t concern you.

Get out right now!” Advancing, Debora yanked Stella’s arm, catching her off guard.
