Mr. Ford Is Jealous

Chapter 383 Stella knew all her lines by heart, but she decided to go through it one more time. Unsure about some of acting‘s technical aspects, she searched the internet and watched some videos and rehearsed her lines again. Only after doing that for a few more times was she finally satisfied.
