When she stepped outside, she saw a man in a shirt and grey vest heading her way. He was slim and tall, with narrow eyes and thin lips. His looks were not handsome, but he was rather delicate.
As they passed each other, the man's gaze briefly swept across Estelle's face, before he turned his head away with a hint of scorn and indifference.
Finley entered the lounge and spotted Yulia. A smile crept onto his face. "Congrats, Yulia, you're working with a big-shot director! You're going to kill it!"
Yulia pursed her lips and said. "I just got here and he's already making me wear these ragged clothes. Such a pain!"
Finley settled casually into a chair and glanced at the clothes. "The clothes may be plain, but you have a unique aura. You look elegant in anything."
His words put Yulia at ease and she broke into a grin. "Did your mom send you here?" she asked Finley.
"She was worried about you adjusting to J City, so she packed some local treats from H City for you." Finley said, gesturing to his secretary who passed the treats to Yulia.
Yulia took them and laughed, "She's always been the sweetest to me."
Finley pulled out his phone and told Yulia, "Hold still, I'll take a photo for her. She'll think I didn't come see you otherwise."
Yulia posed for the photo, reminding Finley, "Don't forget to turn on the filter."
"You're already stunning, any camera would capture your beauty!" Finley complimented casually, then rose to his feet. "Alright, I've delivered the goods, won't disturb your work now. I'll be off."
Yulia waved at him, "Bye!"
Finley exited the room.
Once he left the set, he uploaded Yulia's photo online from his car. "Congrats to Yulia on her first day on set. The new drama will be a hit!"
After hanging up, a smug smile appeared on Finley's face. He had been pursuing Carmella for a long time and she had always been cold to him. Now that she was the one initiating contact, he was definitely not going to let this chance slip.
At 6 p.m., Finley was punctually waiting downstairs at Carmella's studio.
After Carmella got into the car, she gave a small smile. "I'm sorry to make you come all the way here."
Finley fetched a big bouquet of roses from the back seat and handed it to Carmella. "It's my pleasure. I'd do anything for you."
Carmella chuckled, "Don't kid around."
Finley just smiled and didn't say anything. Then he took Carmella to the restaurant he had booked.

There's a song currently playing via YouTube and TikToc by LowDii "Touch Me Softly" that makes me think of Norah and Xavier (Gonzalez). Please, I'm looking forward to updates. Thank you for your writing....
May we please have updates. Thank you....
As the plot thicken. Adrian is done for and he can't try to control Norah, so he'd probably tattle to Janice who's gone for two weeks. Thank you soooo much for the updates....
These updates were too funny. Thank you so much for the updates....
I forgot to add Amy to the group of pregnant women,since she was the first. Emily and Sylvia better be careful since pregnancy is in the air....
Wow! This is great, both Estelle and Magdalen are pregnant at the same time and I hope that Xavier is Norah neighbor. Thank you for the updates....
