When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1288

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, “Luther, I swear I’ve never hurt Elizabeth or longed for the leading lady spot.

This movie is my chance to shine in the international fashion scene.

I’d never do something so foolish…”

Luther interrupted her with a raised hand.

Stella was puzzled, and his smile only added to her confusion.

“I’m not interested in digging into what just happened,” Luther said, still smiling.

Stella’s confusion grew.

“So, what do you need from me?

Luther invited her to sit and cautiously proposed, “How about taking a role in a movie?”

“As an actress?” Stella blurted out, totally taken aback.

“Exactly, as the movie’s leading lady,” Luther confirmed.

Stella was even more surprised and declined.

“I’m really sorry, but I can’t accept.

I’ve never acted before, and I certainly haven’t studied acting.

With a smile, Luther continued, “You know, Elizabeth comes from a wealthy family, so it’s natural she gives off that vibe.

However, for the movie, I’m aiming for perfection, which is why I want you on board.

He squinted slightly and lowered his voice.

“Also, I think Elizabeth can be quite a handful.

She’s stirred up quite a bit on set.

Without keeping her in check, I don’t know what she’ll do next.

”

Then, turning his gaze back to Stella, he continued, “That’s why I’ve decided to have two lead actresses.

You’ll play Giselle in her early days, and Elizabeth will take over as Giselle gains fame.

It shouldn’t cause any issues.

What do you think?”

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 didn’t want any drama.

She just aimed to do her job.
