Chapter 643

Stella would often overhear the cast members chatting and gossipping. From there, she learned that
most of them lived in an area just two blocks away. Not only was it near the film set, but the rent was
cheap as well, so even though the facilities there were quite old, it was still a pretty good place to stay.
“You live there?” Bradley’s brows knitted in concern.“ Then your brother was right to worry about you. I
don’t think there are any securities there. It’s pretty dangerous for you to live there alone.” “It’s really
not that bad,” Stella smiled. “Everyone’s there, and we all take care of each other and watch each
other’s back.”

Bradley had more things to say on the matter, but Stella changed the subject again, so he knew
instantly that she had no desire to discuss it any further.

He soon left, leaving Stella alone in the dressing room. She then went on to change her clothes and
remove her makeup. She was about to leave when Angelina suddenly burst into the room.

“Ella! Ella! Are you leaving now?”

“Yeah, I’m done for the day. What about you? Wanna go home together?”

“Sure!” Angelina nodded. “Just give me a minute. I’ll come find you once I’ve taken off my makeup.”

“Okay.”

Stella was waiting for Angelina in the hallway when she saw Guinevere approaching from a distance.
She had just finished filming. Stella stood aside , giving Guinevere a wide berth to pass through.
Guinevere was in a good mood, buoyed up by the flattery her entourage kept feeding her. But her
expressions soured the instant she saw Stella.



Her manager was explaining her schedule to her, but Guinevere’s sudden silence distracted him. He
followed Guinevere’s gaze and frowned when he saw Ella Steele.

He was absolutely puzzled by Guinevere’s hatred for Ella. She had never done anything to offend
Guinevere, she had just been a hardworking actress all this time, and her attitude had been pleasant
throughout . In fact, the two barely ever interacted with each other apart from the scenes that they were
both in. So why did Guinevere despise Ella so much?

Was she too immersed in the role she was playing?

That might be possible, but it still didn’t fully explain Guinevere’s sheer antipathy towards Ella.
Nonetheless, things wouldn’t look good for Guinevere if she got into a fight with someone right now, so
he thought it best to distract her from Ella.

“Let’s go this way, Gwen.”

“Why? Are we going to make a big detour just because she’s there?”

“That’s not what I meant,” the manager chuckled wanly. “I just don’t want you to be upset, that’s all.”

“What should I be upset about? I’m not going to be bothered by a mere stand-in.”

Guinevere made sure to emphasize the last words of her sentence when she was passing by Stella.

Her manager was utterly stumped. Didn’t Ella act as her stand -in for just one short scene? Why did
she have to bring that up again?

But Stella alone could grasp what Guinevere’s words were really implying. Still, it didn’t bother her one
bit. In fact, she smiled in amusement, stepping aside to let Guinevere go through.



The more indifferent Stella looked, the more it dismayed Guinevere. She snorted haughtily before
stomping away from Stella.

Soon afterward, Stella could clearly hear Guinevere’s voice from a distance saying, “I went on a date
with Weston last night, and I was so exhausted that I got up Jate this morning. So sorry to keep you
guys waiting!”

The crew could clearly hear how chirpy she sounded, so naturally, they knew exactly how they should
react.

“You guys are such a sweet couple!” one of them gushed.

“Thanks, but I really shouldn’t let my private life affect the filming progress. I’m really so sorry, guys…”

“Don’t worry about it! Your performance was exceptional today! All you needed was one take!”

The conversation went on and on.

Stella’s expressions remained unchanged, but the glimmer in her eyes faded.

So that was the real reason why Weston got home so late last night. He was on a date with Guinevere.
