"Ms. Shannon, Astra called again to ask about the script. Have you made up your mind?" Erina asked Amelia if she had decided which company to sell the copyright to.Amelia rubbed her temples as she thought of how Astra kept pestering her. Did Eric ask them to do that? "Who from Astra called?" Amelia asked."An agent, Farah. She's trying to get the female lead role for a celebrity under her. I've met the celebrity before. She has the look that matches the female lead's vibe," Erina replied."Farah?" Amelia was surprised to hear this name. "You know what? Invite all three companies to a meeting.""Sure." Erina nodded.

Liam interrupted Gio's question.Gio was surprised by Liam's nonchalance, but it also somehow reassured him. He answered, "Unfortunately Sir, I wasn't able to acquire Shannon's script. Prime Studios got it.""Prime Studios?" Liam frowned at first, but when he heard that Prime Studios won, he broke into a smile. "I don't mind it if it's Prime Studios.""Also Sir, Shannon is… Madam Amelia," Gio uttered gingerly, scanning Liam's expression.Liam lifted his head, surprised. Then, he laughed out loud. "She sure is full of surprises.""Right? I was shocked to see Madam in the conference room. I thought I was hallucinating." Gio recalled how he blurted out "Madam!" inappropriately, and how Amelia wanted him to call her Shannon. Of course, Gio didn't tell Liam all that."Sir, why weren't we warned ab

Do you think…" Gio was reporting to Liam about Amelia in the office.Liam snorted. "The Lancasters must have other intentions to organize the banquet.
