Lucian's eyes softened as he gently smoothed a stray lock of hair behind Willow's ear.
The director kept his eyes fixed on the certificates, not saying a word.
Drunk on her own inflated confidence, Tessa assumed the theme song production was already hers and decided to double down. "Director, I'm sure you know I'm the future Mrs. Landon. I have a massive team behind me, and I can guarantee the final track will be absolutely stunning!"
The director's polite smile vanished. Tessa was blatantly using Arthur Landon's name to strong-arm him.
Dropping the pleasantries, the director simply pushed her phone back across the table.
Tessa's triumphant expression shattered. "Director, what does this mean?"
Pushing his glasses up his nose, the director replied coolly, "Is my meaning not clear enough? To be perfectly frank, Obsidian Heart already has a theme song, and the person in charge of it is someone you know very well."
He didn't even have to finish the sentence. The realization hit Tessa like a freight train, leaving her ears ringing.
She snapped her head toward Willow, her voice rising in accusation. "It's you, isn't it?!"
Willow lifted her head from Lucian's shoulder, the mocking smile fully blooming on her face. "Oh, you finally figured it out."
Hearing the confirmation, Tessa's blood boiled. The theme song had been reserved for Willow from the very start, which meant her entire desperate pitch just now was nothing more than a spectacular joke!
Was Willow secretly laughing at her this entire time?
