Unexpectedly, Xan had barely been there a few minutes to win Benjamin over.
Indeed, there’s no one in this world who can resist the charm of his darling niece!
“That’s fantastic!” Oliver clapped his hands and laughed, pulling them both to sit down, “Let’s get down to business and talk about the contract!”
The discussion moved from the contract to the script, and it wasn’t until the afternoon that they wrapped up.
Benjamin stood up, still enthusiastic, and looked at Xanthea with admiration, “Ms. Nightshade, you truly have a brilliant mind. Your insights into the script even put me to shame.”
“You flatter me, Movie King.”
“There’s no need for formalities, Ms. Nightshade. You can call me Benjamin, just like Mr. Lopez does.”
Calling him by his first name? Isn’t that a bit too impolite?
Although Xanthea didn’t know much about the intricacies of entertainment industry, she knew that this industry valued etiquette, especially the respect shown to seniors. But recalling his earlier mention of age, it seemed he was quite sensitive about being considered old.
“Alright, then you can call me Xan.”
Xan, Xan.
Benjamin murmured the name in his heart and nodded with a smile.
“Uncle, I need to discuss something with you.”
Before leaving, Xanthea pulled Oliver aside, “I talked to the project team earlier and found out that the filming location is quite far from home. I was thinking of renting a place in the western areas of Crestwood for convenience.”
“No problem, I’ll take care of it!”
