He smiled at me with an encouraging look, nodded along, and even asked some simple questions, so I totally lost track of time.
To think that I just took up the whole morning of a billionaire whose business was far more important than my movie….
I didn’t know how to face Adrian Dunn at that moment, and when I looked up, he was smirking like a mischievous fox, seeing through my thoughts again.
