Chapter 115

Hannah’s POV

Morning sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Sterling Entertainment CEO office, casting a golden glow across the polished surface of the desk where I sat. I smiled as I organized the stack of files before me, my mind drifting back to the previous night with Finn. The memory of his touch sent a pleasant shiver down my spine.

On the corner of the desk sat Eliza Morgan’s bestselling series, “Between the Veils-five books about a world where the supernatural existed just beyond human perception. I’d been reviewing them all morning, making notes on key plot points and characters that would be essential for the adaptation. This project could be the turning point for Sterling

Entertainment, and I was determined to make it perfect.

A soft knock interrupted my thoughts. Amy peeked in, looking almost unrecognizable in her new navy blue pantsuit. Gone

was the modest housekeeping uniform, replaced by a professional outfit that transformed her completely.

“Hannah?” she called hesitantly. “Is it okay to come in?”

“Of course!” I gestured for her to enter. “Look at you! That suit is perfect.”

Amy blushed, smoothing her hands nervously over the jacket. “It feels strange. I keep thinking someone’s going to ask me

what I’m doing in these clothes.”

“You look like you were born for this job,” I assured her, meaning every word. “How does it feel to be an executive assistant instead of folding someone else’s laundry?”

“Terrifying,” she admitted with a small laugh. “But exciting too. I’ve been practicing with those computer programs you showed me. I think I’m getting the hang of it.”

“I have complete faith in you.” I stood up and walked around the desk. “Let me show you around and explain what well be

doing today.”

I guided Amy through the office layout, explaining the company structure and her responsibilities. She listened attentively, taking notes in a small leather-bound notebook she’d purchased for her new role.

Our most important meeting today is with Eliza Morgan,” I explained. “She’s bringing her preferred director, someone she’s worked with before. We need to make sure everything is perfect-water, coffee, the conference room setup. This project is crucial for changing Sterling Entertainment’s image.”

Amy nodded earnestly. I make sure everything’s ready. Should I bring in lunch for the meeting?

Perfect. And Amy?” I placed a hand on her shoulder. Thank you for taking this leap with me. I know it’s a big change.

“Are you kidding? This is the best thing that’s ever happened to me,” she replied, her eyes bright with excitement.

An hour later, the receptionist announced that Eliza Morgan had arrived. I straightened my blazer and went to greet her, finding her in the lobby accompanied by a middle-aged man with salt-and-pepper hair and intelligent eyes behind wire- rimmed glasses.

“Eliza, welcome to Sterling Entertainment,” I said warmly, extending my hand. “It’s wonderful to see you again under better circumstances.”

She smiled, the memory of our adventure at the Hawkins estate still fresh. “Hannah, this is Noah Lawrence. He’s directed three of my previous adaptations, including the award-winning ‘Midnight Whispers.””

Noah’s handshake was firm and confident. “Ms. Lancaster, I’ve heard quite a bit about you from Eliza. Both your rescue

efforts and your passion for quality storytelling.”

“Please, call me Hannah,” I replied, leading them toward the conference room. “And I’m eager to hear your vision for

‘Between the Veils.””

In the conference room, Noah set up his laptop and began sharing his concept boards and preliminary storyboards. His understanding of Eliza’s work was impressive-he captured the darkness and complexity of her supernatural world while maintaining the deeply human elements at its core.

“I want to preserve the moral ambiguity that makes Eliza’s work so compelling,” Noah explained, showing us a series of atmospheric concept images. “The characters aren’t simply good or evil-they’re people making difficult choices in extraordinary circumstances.”

I nodded enthusiastically. “That’s exactly what draws readers to for exploring very human dilemmas.”

The supernatural elements are just a backdrop

Eliza smiled, clearly pleased with my understanding of her work. “This is why I finally agreed to this adaptation, Hannah.

When the meeting concluded, I walked Eliza and Noah to the elevator, feeling a surge of excitement about the project’s

future.

Thank you for bringing Noah,” I said sincerely to Eliza. “You’ve solved a major problem for me.”

How so?” she asked, corious

Chapter 115

“Frankly, I was worried about using directors from our existing roster. Most of them were hired under the previous leadership and might have… preconceived notions about how adaptations should work.” I lowered my voice slightly. Many

of them are Sophia’s people, and I wasn’t confident they’d respect your creative vision.”

Eliza nodded knowingly. “I’ve had my share of battles with studios that promised creative control only to start making

‘small suggestions that completely changed the essence of my work.”

“That won’t happen here,” I promised. “Not on my watch.”

After they departed, I returned to my office, feeling satisfied with how smoothly the meeting had gone. I sat at my desk and began jotting down action items for the project, already envisioning how we would bring Eliza’s dark, complex world

to life.

Another knock at the door announced Amy’s return. She entered, her expression hesitant.

“Hannah? I just got an email you should probably see.”

I looked up, noting the concern in her voice. “What is it?”

“It’s from Sophia Miller. She’s recommending a director for our new project-Michael Brown. Apparently, he’s worked on several successful Sterling productions before.” Amy shifted uncomfortably. “The email suggests it’s Mr. Sterling’s preference to keep the project ‘in line with the Sterling brand.”

I felt a flicker of irritation. Of course Sophia would try to maintain her influence. Does the email say William specifically requested this?”

“It implies it, but doesn’t state it directly,” Amy replied. “What should I tell them? We already have Noah, right?”

I leaned back in my chair, considering the situation. Sophia was testing boundaries, seeing how much control she still had over Sterling Entertainment. This was a political move, and I needed to respond carefully.

Before I could answer, the office door swung open without warning. Finn stood in the doorway, his imposing figure casting

a long shadow across the floor. He must have been listening to our conversation from outside.

“Tell them we accept the recommendation,” he said firmly.
