Anxiously, she pleaded. Jonathan, please hear me out. The wire is incredibly perilous. Could you come down so we can discuss this slowly? The situation is complex.”
Jonathan, upon hearing her, assumed it was her being nervous about the wire because she saw it for the first time. He flashed a reassuring smile. T okay. This setup is professional, no danger here.
“And the crew has checked it thoroughly. So, don’t worry, everything’s fine.”
Seeing his disbelief, Milly’s anxiety spiked. Persuading him to descend and abandon the stunt was her sole
recourse.
After all, she lacked the authority to halt another production’s operation.

Entering the scene was the film crew’s director, sporting a scruffy beard and an intimidating aura.
Concerned that the director might scare Milly, Jonathan swiftly intervened, “Director, she’s here to see me. Let her wait on the sidelines. I’ll take her away after filming.”
