"Ms. Dustin, long time no see."
Brittany Dustin hadn't been around the film set around that time, so she and Stella hadn't crossed paths for a while.
"Ms. Stella."
"Did Joseph Palmer give you a hard time?" Stella knew Joseph had Brittany working on design drafts, and knowing Joseph's character, he would definitely make a big deal out of it.
Brittany just smiled.
She had a decent impression of Stella, but she was about to get engaged to Joseph, so there were some things she couldn't just blab about.
"I'll have a chat with Joseph. You go ahead."
Stella could tell Brittany was a bit upset, so she didn't push it.
After Brittany left, Stella marched into Joseph's place.
Joseph was holding a frail-looking young woman in his arms, typical of his taste.
"You're here."
Joseph patted the woman on the shoulder, and she left.
Stella strolled up to the couch and tossed her bag aside, "You better keep it in check. Someone's been watching you."
Joseph leaned back lazily on the couch, "You brought people onto the set, and I didn't say a word. Besides, everyone in the family knows my preferences. They can't do anything."
Stella looked a bit upset, probably remembering something unpleasant.
"What happened? Did your bodyguard dump you?"
Hearing that, Stella's face changed instantly, "Joseph!"
Joseph knew he hit the nail on the head. Stella had had many boyfriends over the years, but she never got angry when they broke up.
It seemed like she really liked that bodyguard!
"Just a man, are you that into him?"
Stella shot Joseph a glare, "It's all your fault! You had to visit the set, and now we're fighting over it. He wants to break off our engagement."
Who gave her the authority?
She and Joseph were just business partners; there were no romantic strings attached. But Thomas wouldn't accept it, and since that day, Thomas hadn't seen her.
This pissed Stella off so much that she couldn't focus on her acting for days.
