Nolan said, "A friend got it custom-made from abroad—mammoth ivory."
Mammoth ivory was indeed a rare and valuable material.
Violeta smiled and nodded, stating, "What I found is in no way comparable to that, haha. Anyway, I'll head out now."
With that, Violeta walked straight into the lounge without looking back.
Aster followed. She nodded at Nolan before closing the door behind them.
Inside, the makeup artist was already waiting to remove Violeta's makeup.
Aster said puzzlingly, "It seemed like Nolan was waiting for us to enter before he did."
Violeta paused briefly. She was also confused by why Nolan hadn't gone into his room earlier, but she didn't dwell on it. After all, whether Nolan entered the room was his own business.
Today's interaction only reinforced Violeta's impression of Nolan being a genuinely decent person.
He had been with Zelena in her previous life—a true case of mismatch.
Nolan was too good for her.
Zelena doesn't deserve him.
At Apex Entertainment, Tracy had just finished a magazine shoot and was returning to the company with her team.
She was there to check out the script for The Golden Age. Word was that Winnie had already secured a third of the script.
Tracy and Evelina occupied the two largest rooms downstairs after Violeta moved into the lounge upstairs.
The mere thought of sharing a floor with Evelina made Tracy felt uneasy.
As she exited the elevator with her assistant, the assistant said, "Winnie mentioned earlier that they're in the big conference room. We should head straight there."
Tracy's face was expressionless as she replied, "Let's go directly then; no need to waste time."
They entered the conference room with only Winnie in mind. They found a surprising number of people inside.
Lance was present, as well as Evelina's team.
Tracy was the last to arrive.
Winnie greeted her with a warm smile, "Tracy, come on in and take a seat."
Tracy hesitated for a moment, then removed her sunglasses and walked over to sit beside Winnie. She said, "Quite a crowd today."
