Chapter 31

A new guy in his twenties showed up, dressed to the nines in a tailored suit. He was tall, lean, and had a face that could stop traffic: he looked like he owned the place. He had a posse following him.

Some sharp–eyed person recognized him right away. “It’s Keith Hawley, the boss of Horizonlead Group!”

The Hawley family was old–school, known for their military and political clout, not business. But times, they were a- changing. Now they were getting into the money game, big time, especially Keith.

Keith traded his family legacy for the corporate world. In no time, he turned Horizonlead Group into a powerhouse and became the talk of the business world.

No one saw Keith coming to the film set.

Keith looked at Winona and let out a sigh. “In this business, being too soft can hurt you.”

The two of them looked like old pals, definitely not strangers.

Alina rolled her eyes and whispered to Quiana, “I really want to slap her. I told you, this whole show is just Keith’s way to boost Winona. Looks like they’ve been an item for a while. No wonder they want you to marry that… guy.”

Alina replied, “Staying will just make things worse, okay, my dear?”

“Quiana’s right, we can’t just run off!” Nolan showed up out of nowhere, standing by Quiana’s side, facing Keith. “Keith, don’t be so out of line!”

Keith frowned. “Nolan, this isn’t a playground for you!”

Nolan didn’t back down. “You’re not worried Julius will find out how you’re treating Quiana?”
