Luka emerged from the crowd, followed by a girl.


    Ste couldn’t make out the details from her spot, but she didn’t care to know.


    Since Luka had confessed his feelings at the hospital, Ste was unsure of his true intentions.


    She didn’t want any interaction with him here.


    She quickly looked away, intending to slip away unnoticed.


    But as she turned, Luka was there, stopping her in her tracks.


    “Ste.


    ”


    Ste paused, uncertain whether to turn around and acknowledge Luka.


    However, Luka had already approached her and said in a hushed tone, “Help me shake off that woman, as a favor for me shielding you in today’s incident.


    My back is still aching.


    ”


    Unable to devise an excuse to leave, Ste agreed reluctantly.


    “Alright.


    ”


    Observing Ste’s rigid expression, Luka offered a sly smile.


    Ste didn’t engage with him.


    As she turned, her gaze fell on Patti approaching.


    To her astonishment, they were donning identical dresses.


    Patti, equally taken aback, scrutinized Ste and queried suspiciously, “Luka, who is this woman?”


    Before Luka could reveal Ste’s identity, Patti’s lips curled into a mocking grin.


    Eyeing Ste’s dress, she remarked, “This is Luther’s wrap party.


    Even if you can’t splurge on a high-end dress, you can’t parade in a counterfeit.


    Don’t tarnish Luther’s film promotion.


    ”


    Her tone feigned concern, but her intent was clearly to belittle Ste.

    In a courteous manner, Ste inquired, “Miss, what makes you im my dress is a fake?”


    Pattiughed dismissively.


    “I acquired this dress for a hefty sum.


    It’s a globally exclusive piece.


    I doubt you could afford such luxury.


    ”


    Always self-assured, Patti regarded Ste as a mere attention-seeking starlet, paying her little mind.


    Unfazed, Ste retorted, “If you paid a steep price for that dress, then you’ve been swindled.


    Your dress isn’t worth what you think.


    It’s an imitation.


    ”


    “What are you talking about?” Patti’s irritation was palpable.


    “What would you know about luxury? You’re just an up-anding actress.


    How dare you speak to me in that manner?”
