When Love Comes Late -
Chapter 1047
Brook glanced at Stella with an apologetic expression, gesturing with crossed fingers.
He dared not say more.
Seated in the chair, Luka raised his eyebrows.
“My time is valuable.
Why don’t you hurry up?”
Confronted with his arrogant gaze, Stella felt as if she were dealing with a devil.
She took a deep breath, maintaining a forced smile.
“I’ll go.
”
Setting aside the measuring tape, Stella turned and hurried to the workroom.
She began to painstakingly push the heavy racks one after the other.
After several trips, she was breathless and exhausted, silently cursing Luka.
If she had known he was this difficult to deal with, she would have steered clear of him from the start.
“Narcissistic! Demon! Bastard!” Stella muttered a few more choice words to vent her anger as she held the last rack.
Despite her frustration, she still had to move the rack.
If it weren’t for the need for Luther’s film to boost her studio’s credit and reputation, she wouldn’t have endured such insults and humiliation.
Suppressing her anger, Stella reluctantly accepted the mistreatment as she dragged the rack into place.
Just as she started a new round of curses, she felt the rack become noticeably Lighter.
Turning around, she was surprised to see Matthew assisting her.
Stella hesitated for a moment, moved by the unexpected help.
However, as she recalled their ongoing silent treatment and Matthew’s radio silence throughout the morning, she quickly restrained herself.
If Matthew hadn’t neglected to contact her, she wouldn’t have wandered absentmindedly, offended Luka, and become a target for his disdain.
In a cold tone, Stella asked, “What are you doing here?”
Matthew felt relieved that she initiated the conversation.
“I’m just here to lend you a hand.
”
“No, thanks.
” Stella stubbornly refused.
“I don’t need your help for such a small thing.
”
Observing her steadfast expression, Matthew understood that her anger had subsided somewhat.
He lowered his head and covered his stomach with his hand, feigning pain.
