Dorian's demeanor became even colder upon hearing what the director said.
He forced a smile and asked, "Are you two close?"
The director furrowed his brows and replied, "Just a little." Then, he fell silent.
…
After finishing her tasks, Lila messaged Jamie to check on their first day at the set.
After confirming that everything was fine, she stretched her back, relishing the satisfying cracks in her spine.
Samuel called out to her as she was preparing to head back to the hotel. "Lila!"
She turned around. "Mr Grant, is there anything else?"
"No, no." He waved his hand dismissively. "Just wanted to let you know that we've changed hotels for today. We're now at Opulent Hotel.
"Pack your things and go register at the front desk. If you have too much to carry, just call me."
Lila was surprised. She didn't ask further, but her expression clearly showed her confusion.
How could the production crew afford to stay at Opulent Hotel?
Noticing her bewilderment, Samuel explained, "Didn't the Morgan group invest in us? They've already advanced part of the funds. The actors and staff need good accommodations so they can work with energy. Now hurry up and pack."
Lila didn't dwell on it.
She unexpectedly ran into Cole at the hotel entrance. He was leaning against a sleek black car she hadn't seen before.
He waved cheerfully and greeted, "Ms. Hart."
"Did Uncle Kieran change his car?"
This car looked brand new. It was clearly just purchased, but the brand and model...
She tapped her chin, feeling it didn't quite match Kieran's aloof and steady demeanor.
Cole smiled and said, "Not at all! Mr. Morgan prepared this for you. I was tasked with delivering it."
"For me?" Lila was genuinely surprised.
They had only discussed this that morning, and Kieran had arranged it by the evening?
It would have been fine if it were something else, but this car, while not as luxurious as what Kieran usually drove, still cost over a million.
