Cedric sighed. "I haven't received the script yet. It should be here in about two weeks. I'll get it to you as soon as possible."
"Alright. Thank you on behalf of Jamie and Teddy. Of course, I'm also really grateful to you," Lila said with a light smile, her eyes curving up like a blooming peach blossom, radiating the warmth of spring. She waved her hand and turned to leave.
After a busy afternoon, she exited the office and saw Amelia waiting outside Magi Pictures in her colorful sports car. As soon as Amelia saw her from afar, she got out of the car and waved happily.
Teddy popped his head out from the back window. "Ms. Hart."
She walked over quickly. "Why are you both here together?"
Teddy was usually always with Jamie, wasn't he?
"Vince and Jamie are waiting for us at Azure. We're here to pick you up," he said, looking like an excited puppy, his eyes full of enthusiasm.
Amelia kindly opened the passenger door for Lila. "Get in."
As the car engine started, Lila suddenly remembered to ask, "Azure? Isn't that a bar? Are we celebrating something?"
"It's not a celebration. It's a farewell."
"Huh? Who's leaving?" Lila was momentarily confused.
"Hehe... It's your singles farewell party."
Lila's mind went blank. What? What was going on?
Seeing her stunned expression, Teddy couldn't hold back his laughter.
"Our group is having this party because you're the one getting married..." he started but was interrupted by Amelia's amused laugh.
That allowed Lila to steer the conversation elsewhere. "By the way, what's going on with you and Vince? Is it a marriage alliance or something?"
"Marriage alliance, my foot!" Amelia fumed as she recalled Benjamin, so much so that a curse slipped out.
"You should know better than anyone what Vince is thinking..." She stopped mid-sentence, realizing something wasn't right.
Although everyone could tell Vince had feelings for Lila, she was about to get married. They couldn't discuss his intentions now.
Realizing her mistake, she quickly corrected herself. "Do you think I would need a marriage alliance? Are we really supposed to be scrambling to curry favor with the Lane Group? I'd rather choose Teddy over Vince."
Teddy, who had been happily sitting in the fancy car, was suddenly called out. He immediately leaned over.
"Amelia, I'm not good enough!"
