Chapter 815
The Winnie-the-Pooh-shaped bouquet made with Blue Enchantresses was much more luxurious than the big flower basket in
front of Leighton. When the opening ceremony began, the bouquet earned Bella a lot of attention. However, her spotlight was
taken away when the mango-shaped bouquet of roses came into the picture. Moreover, the mango was placed right next to the
Winnie the Pooh bouquet.
Bella's bouquet was 3ft at best, while Stella's mango bouquet was at least 6ft tall. The comparison was like a child standing next
to an NBA player, which forcibly suppressed Bella's reputation.
The media reporters were taking pictures of the mango-shaped bouquet as they interviewed Stella. 'Ms. Jewell, how are you
feeling right now? I mean, this is your first-time participating in the opening ceremony of a huge movie, right? Do you have any
advice?"
'Ms. Jewell...' Stella inexplicably thought of when Keegan called her Ms. Jewell. Though, what he asked was not a serious
question a teacher could answer.
Stella cleared her throat and said in a gentle voice, "You can just call me by my name. There's no need for formalities. I just
entered the film and television industry. I don't think I have the qualifications to give any advice."
"And to answer your question, I'm happy and excited to be here. I am honored to be able to cooperate with such a great director
like Mr. Winfield and my amazing cast and crew members. I look forward to seeing everyone on screen.’
There has always been a practice whereby popular celebrities are called teachers or masters in the field. In Stella's eyes,
teachers are those who educate, while masters are those who have a full grasp of their skills. She did not find herself worthy of
such a title. In fact, she found it insulting to those who were much more capable than her.
The media listened and followed suit, 'What do you think of the photo incident on Facebook two days ago, Stella?"
Stella had a premonition that someone would ask that. "I'm just a bystander like everyone else," she said solemnly.
Her answer caused the people to fall silent. Then, a burst of laughter erupted. Stella smiled and said, "Actually, I think people are
overthinking it. It was just a casual group photo taken when everyone visited Leighton. It was not taken for publicity since
everyone changed their positions several times. Right, Bella?'
Bella was clearly on the verge of losing control. Her eyelids twitched as she realized that she had underestimated Stella. 'She
knows we're like oil and water. How dare she cue me!'
Bella suppressed her emotions and smiled, "Yeah. Unfortunately, the first shot was not good enough since Stella stood at the
back, and we could not see her. So Leighton pulled her to the front. She did not insist on standing in the middle. Please stop
making unreasonable speculations. All of us are on good terms."
Stella glanced at Bella and sneered, 'I knew she would never let go of such an opportunity.'
It seemed that Bella was clarifying the situation to help Stella, but she was actually trying to imply that Stella and Leighton had
something going on. Sure enough, someone soon asked, "Leighton seldom interacts with his coworkers on Facebook. Does that
mean you have a close relationship with him, Stella?'
Stella cautiously avoided the trap by saying, "Leighton is a good colleague. He pays attention to those in the back and stands for
whatever he feels is right. This shows his true temperament. He would warmly invite me over to practice our lines and discuss
how we should act out a scene together since we were scene partners. He deeply understands the roles and is very dedicated to
his work. I am honored to be able to work with him."
The media reporters were a little disappointed when they heard Stella's answer. They thought she would slip up since she was
new to the industry.
After speaking, Stella added fuel to the fire by saying, "Leighton often praises the actors he has worked with and rarely criticizes
others. I was initially worried and nervous about working with him, but I found out he is someone with a good temper."
A good temper?’
