Chapter 396 Weston didn‘t know what to say.
Every single word of Stella‘s pierced deep into his heart. He felt like he couldn‘t breathe.
He could only keep her in his embrace, holding her tightly against his chest so she could hear his heartbeat.
He never bothered explaining anything to anyone. But at this moment, he hoped that Stella could understand him. “Things are not what you think they are...” He finally owned up to his own feelings. “I do have feelings for you. Stella, I thought you knew.”
“I don‘t.”
Stella took a deep breath and calmed herself down. “If this is how you treat someone you have feelings for, I don‘t want it.”
She had said the cruelest of words in the calmest of tones. “I won‘t be so stupid as to fall in love with you a second time.”
Weston avoided her gaze. He simply continued hugging her. After a long while, he asked, “...when did you fall in love with me?” “I don‘t remember. I only remember the moment I stopped loving you,” Stella said.
The wild thunderstorm disrupted many plans.
The crew‘s activities were delayed time and time again and could only properly continue a week later.
Guinevere finally joined the crew under pressure from Bradley. Stella was informed ahead of time and reported to the crew for filming on the same day as Guinevere.
After Weston fully recovered, he returned to the office and didn‘t come back for a few days, apparently busy with a very tricky project. Having the extra time, she took the opportunity to visit Fern University, discussing with Roger about furthering their studies overseas.
Stella nodded.
The studio was packed with people today, and she couldn‘t find an empty spot even after looking around. Everyone was working overtime, busy with work that had piled up. The atmosphere was crackling with pressure. For them, it appeared there wasn‘t much time left. After Bradley delivered his instructions, he went off to arrange other matters.
Stella followed the instructor to a slightly more open space, and she heard the instructor complain, “It would be great if we were this busy only at the early part of this year. But based on our progress, I think we‘ll be this swamped for the entire year...”
The instructor clearly had no fear of saying whatever she pleased in front of Stella, a newcomer to the crew.
She could sense that Stella was mild–tempered and easygoing and couldn‘t help but spill some gossip. “Did you see? Guinevere reported to the crew early this morning, and the fuss everyone made over her... “Tsk, tsk. Truly the queen of the entertainment circle.“
