Chapter 440 An Unexpected Reunion

Finished

Casey played a guard and had been busy with fight training. When Ayla arrived, his agent, Samantha, had already informed him, and he was extremely happy.

The moment they met, he asked whether Ayla had eaten the hometown specialties his mom had mailed

over.

Samantha’s mom was the cook at Ayla’s home. She jumped in and said, “Don’t worry. My mom said she made all the specialties. Ms. Keaton loves them.”

Casey said, “Glad you like them. My hometown is famous for food. Ms. Keaton, if you ever travel there, I’ll show you around!”

Ayla replied, “Sure. I’ll take you up on your offer.”

At lunch, Ayla and Hannah ate with the director, several main cast members, and the supporting actor, Casey. It was a very simple social meal.

As the company head, Ayla naturally took the chance to promote herself. She mentioned their screenwriting team, said they were polishing scripts, and talked about collaborating more with the director

in the future.

Actors looked glamorous on the outside, but they still had to wait for the right role. Ayla had the ability to promote newcomers, which meant she held the real leverage. On top of that, Hannah had a strong reputation in the industry and had helped launch several top–tier stars. So everyone at the table raised their glasses to Ayla and Hannah and spoke kindly.

Social etiquette existed everywhere.

Back at Storm Group, Ayla had attended functions with Draven, meeting major corporate bosses and high- ranking officials. Her presence was strong. Actors weren’t afraid of big crowds because of fans, but they could clearly sense the steadier, heavier aura around Ayla. Their respect for her deepened.

Ayla exchanged contact information with them, including the male lead, Derek.

She’d met him before.

Derek was already top–tier. He knew Ayla was friends with James and understood she was someone he couldn’t offend. He even needed to curry favor. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the director cast Casey as his guard.

In a way, Derek was also using Casey to build a connection with Ayla.

That was the entertainment industry. More connections meant more paths.

If a rival ever tried to take him down, he wouldn’t be afraid.

Derek had just received a message from his company’s CEO, saying the investor behind the company

wanted to have a meal with them.

After lunch, Derek mentioned it to Ayla.

So they switched to a more private place.

Ayla didn’t expect the person waiting to be Troy.

She hadn’t seen Troy for a week.

These days, Ayla had been with Draven every day. He gave her a completely different experience of love, letting her feel just how good he was. Ayla didn’t want to separate from Draven at all, because she simply couldn’t bear it.

During three years of marriage, she had always expressed her love for Troy through actions.

As long as someone wasn’t antisocial, even the coldest person would develop a trace of attachment at some point.

Troy had acted so frantically in Aqualith. He probably really couldn’t let go of how good she had been to him.

Ayla’s mindset had changed. Even if Troy knew she was with Draven, he still wouldn’t let go. So when he showed up out of nowhere, she didn’t look surprised.

It was Derek’s first time meeting Troy.

Troy was a behind–the–scenes investor far more powerful than the company’s CEO. His asking to meet was a huge honor.

At first glance, Derek felt the man looked vaguely familiar. He stood up to greet him, and when he saw his face clearly, he realized Troy’s features resembled the powerful businessman with the last name Storm, who often appeared beside James.

Even the aura was the same–oppressive and cold, the unmistakable presence of someone in power.

Derek had seen plenty of big shots over the years. The man in front of him was absolutely not someone to mess with.

“Mr. Winston,” Derek introduced himself. “I’m Derek Newman.”

Troy ignored him.

Derek felt awkward.

Troy’s secretary, Isabella, spoke up to smooth things over and introduced both sides.

Hannah was also there. She had already stood up, but when she turned around, she saw Ayla hadn’t moved at all. Her gaze was cold as she stared at the newcomer.

Hannah immediately realized Ayla knew this powerful figure.

As expected, my boss isn’t ordinary.

Seeing Ayla’s indifferent attitude, Derek immediately sensed how subtle and suffocating the atmosphere had become. It made him want to escape as soon as possible.

Troy sat silently across from Ayla. From the moment he appeared, this woman hadn’t looked at him directly
