Jonathan lay in a state of semi–consciousness, grappling with the reverberations of the impact and the resulting discomfort.
With haste. Milly inspected his legs, fearing the direst outcome.
Her anxiety dissolved as she discerned no signs of fractures, releasing a weighty exhale.
Despite the mishap, the culmination proved unexpectedly favourable.
At last able to ease her tension, Milly experienced a sensation akin to her bones disintegrating, her form quivering uncontrollably from the ache.
The emergency services promptly arrived, swiftly conveying Jonathan to the nearest medical facility.
Milly’s relief was palpable as she exhaled deeply.
Jonathan, engulfed in a daze, was lifted onto a stretcher, struggling to maintain coherence amidst the acute
agony.
Amidst the commotion, he caught a glimpse of a graceful silhouette amidst the crowd’s periphery, a pang of melancholy washing over him.
Even amidst the bustle and the physical distance, he discerned the anxiety etched in her gaze.
Attempting to articulate, a lump formed in his throat, rendering him speechless.
As consciousness dwindled, the figure gradually faded into the distance…
Though she had a starring role in Silent Sea, Milly didn’t have a lot of scenes. Most of them were just the male lead’s flashbacks. Her scenes were done in one take, and they were seamless.
Two days were left until the wrap–up, She could go back and check her grades too.
As Joy watched Milly remove her makeup, she lamented, “Time sure goes by when you have fun. I thought it’d be longer, but now it’s over. I wanted it to go on.”
Milly patted the sweat off her face with a towel. Smiling, she said, “I didn’t peg you for a workaholic. You can take the time off for some rest.
“But then I won’t get to see you.” Joy pursed her lips.
“Mr. Burnett only lets me work for you on this movie. When you sign with an agency, he’s going to reshuffle the team and swap me out for someone else,”
She knew this would happen sooner or later, so she didn’t blame anyone.
Mr. Burnett only roped her in because he didn’t have time to find better assistants back then.
When it was time, he would get a better and more experienced assistants for Milly.

Milly smiled. Gently, she said. “You won’t be replaced. I have no plans to sign with any agencies just yet. You’re still my assistant. I can still hire you even if I go into contract.”
And not like I’m going to do it so soon.
“You’re an assistant, not a manager.” Milly chuckled. “You won’t hold me back. Don’t think too much about it.”
“Wait, did Jordan really say that?” Milly exclaimed, her disbelief evident.
A full–fledged entertainment company involves numerous departments requiring substantial investment. It’s not something you can simplify.
Joy hadn’t expected Milly to react with both displeasure and concern. Puzzled, she asked, “Milly, why aren’t you happy? This is good news, isn’t it?”
But the complications were overwhelming, and the drawbacks seemed to overshadow the benefits. How could she rejoice when she foresaw impending disaster?
