Recalling Matthew’s instructions, Ste acknowledged with a nod and quickly sent him a message to keep him informed.


    Luka, emerging at that moment, noticed Ste’spany, confused.


    He approached after sending his assistant ahead.


    “What a coincidence!


    Heading home? Could I perhaps join you in your car?”


    Ste refused, wary of spending time alone with Luka in Matthew’s absence.


    “I don’t think we’re headed in the same direction.

    Luka, however, pressed on, “A few overzealous fans followed me to the set and were waiting by my car, so I had my assistant drive it away to lead them off.


    Could you bear to leave me to the mercy of a taxi queue, potentially swarmed by fans?”


    Caught in a dilemma, Ste hesitated.


    “Aren’t we friends?” Luka asked her.


    At this, Ste didn’t want to refuse anymore.


    Otherwise, it would seem like she was guilty.


    Anyway, with the presence of bodyguards, she believed that Luka would not do anything out of line.


    Reluctantly, she consented, “Alright, you can join us.

    After gathering her thoughts, Ste revealed, “Today, someone attempted to me on set.


    Thankfully, Matthew was there in time to prevent any harm.


    ”


    Concern etched across Luka’s features, he inquired, “And where is Matthew now?”


    “He’s tied up withpany matters,” Ste informed him.


    “I’m alright, just the location of today’s shoot brought back unsettling memories.


    I apologize for any inconvenience caused.


    ”


    “No inconvenience at all,” Luka reassured her.


    “Let’s get you home safely.


    I’ll arrange for my assistant to fetch meter.


    Ensure you rest well tonight.
