Chapter 670
Erlinda was on pins and needles, especially when she saw that Maja was fully engrossed in reading the script, her heart swelled with guilt.
A few minutes later, Maja put down the script and said,
“Erlinda, I heard you’re top of your class?”
Erlinda nodded, her eyes instantly brimming with tears, hands clenching tightly together, lips trembling slightly.
Maja sighed.
“This doesn’t seem like something you would produce. I’ve checked your grades, you’ve been top of your class since day one, and all your teachers praise your ideas. But this script lacks that wow factor.”
Erlinda hung her head; her voice hoarse,
“Penny, this is the best I can offer, I,”
Before she could finish her sentence, Nolan’s voice came from behind.
“Erlinda, Penny, you’re here?”
Maja looked up, seeing Nolan approaching.
A few students, boys and girls, were following him. They didn’t know–Maja, so they remained silent.
Maja stood up, smiling at Nolan.
“Professor Smith, I’m here just to get a feel of the atmosphere here at Skyrim Film Academy. These students with you, they’re all drama majors, right? They all look very promising.”
Those students were indeed drama majors, and Nolan was well–liked among the student.
His scripts were now highly sought after by various investors, and he had a wide network. Coupled with a group of script–writing students, his resources were abundant.
Many current stars had shot to fame overnight because of his scripts.
If Nolan took a liking to a drama major student, allowing him to star in his next script, that student could almost certainly secure a spot as an A-lister. That just showed how popular Nolan was.
Nolan chuckled, gently patting Erlinda’s shoulder.
“Has Erlinda given you her script? If you’re satisfied with it, you two should have a good chat.”
The surrounding students understood immediately. Nolan was trying to secure investment for his student.
Professor Smith was such a good guy.
“I’ve already read it, there are a few points I would like to discuss with Erlinda. Glad I ran into you, Professor Smith.”
“How about we go to my office for a chat, if you don’t mind?”
“Sure.”
Maja glanced at Erlinda, who had become even more silent since Nolan’s arrival, the color drained from her face.
Maja grasped Erlinda’s hand, but Erlinda was so frightened that she immediately shook it off.
The atmosphere instantly became awkward, but Nolan quickly took the initiative to ease the tension.
“Erlinda is pretty introverted, so she doesn’t mingle much. She spends most of her time focusing on her script–writing, therefore, she is not good at handling interpersonal relationships. Don’t take it to heart.”
Maja kept silent. She had already done her homework on Nolan, but what surprised her was how good his reputation was among the students.
Almost no one had a bad word to say about him.
But sometimes, when a person was too perfect, it can seem unreal.
“Professor Smith, shall we head to your office now?”
Nolan briefly talked to the other drama majors, then led Maja and Erlinda to his office.
Seeing the special attention Nolan gave to Erlinda, the other students couldn’t help but feel jealous.
If they could truly earn the favor of an investor, future royalties from scripts could easily reach hundreds of thousands.
Upon arriving at Nolan’s office, he placed a chair in front of Maja and gestured for Erlinda to sit on a small sofa.
Just a week ago, she was forcefully pinned down on this very sofa by Nolan.
Every corner of this office bore the traces of Nolan’s bullying.
But she didn’t dare to protest, she just stared at her toes, sitting nervously.
Nolan knew exactly what Erlinda was thinking of and sneered internally. Her psychological pressure would only increase once she was in this office.
He poured Maja a cup of coffee.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
