Chapter 648
Weston kept to his word and only allowed Stella to eat junk food once a week.
From then on, all the meals that Joan whipped up were nutritious. They tasted delicious, but Stella never had much of an appetite and often ate just a little before returning to her workstation.
Joan felt perturbed at the possibility that her cooking skills might have deteriorated . She glanced at Weston, who was seated on the couch, and asked, “Sir, shall I cook something else and send it to Ms. Steele?”
“No need for that.” Weston looked in the direction of Stella’s workstation. “Let her be.”
Joan nodded and went off to busy herself with other things.
Stella would be shooting the film’s last scene tomorrow, and she was taking it very seriously. She glanced at the clock and noticed that it was already eleven o’clock at night.
She stretched her arms out and saw a dim light coming from the corridor outside. That indicated that Weston was probably still awake, and her heart sank.
She took out the bottle of medicine and pondered for a moment before popping one.
She had just swallowed the pill down with a gulp of water when her door was opened. Weston stood by the doorway, wearing a deep blue robe.” Still awake?”
He had washed up and was ready for bed; his usually neat, slicked-back hair drooped casually at the side of his forehead, softening his sharp, handsome features.
Stella put down the script in her hands. “I’m just about to sleep.”
Weston nodded and turned to leave, though he left the door ajar behind him.
Stella walked into the bedroom and saw Weston already on the bed. When he saw her enter the room, he put down the book in his hand.
“Go take a shower,” he told her.
Stella nodded and walked into the bathroom. The warm water splashed on her body, accompanying the rise in her body temperature as the medicine took its effect.
