Chapter 181
Cedric litted his head, his expression calm and composed
He chuckled lightly. “Mr. Blake, we are merely adhering to the terms of the contract. Magi Pictures has done nothing improper.”
“Cut the nonsense, Cedric, I want to see Mr. Morgan!” Dorian’s eyes were cold and filled with hostility.
He had gone to great lengths to posh Lila out of Nexus Entertainment, only for Magi Pictures to sign her immediately after. The higher–ups at Nexus were displeased with him, especially since the move hadn’t brought any financial gain.
Recently, Dorian had been unable to secure top–tier opportunities, not just because of the scandals but also due to deliberate suppression from those above him.
project, only for it to be revoked over a baseless cumor.
He has poured everything into the Heart of c
And Lila – he had forced her out of Nexus Entertainment, but Magi Pictures had swooped in and signed her the moment she left
The more he thought about it, the more he felt like he had been played.
If it hadn’t been for Kieran interfering, Lila wouldn’t have left Nexus Entertainment so easily, and Dorian could have kept her under his thumb. Now, after running in circles, he was left with nothing.
How could Dorian accept this?
Cedric rose from his chair, his gaze steady. “Mr. Blake, this is Magi Pictures. Mr. Morgan doesn’t come to this office. If you wish to see him, you’re in the wrong place.”
Dorian pointed a trembling finger at him, so furious he could only stammer, “Y–You!”
He laughed bitterly, turned around, and stormed out.
“Mr. Blake, Magi Pictures has acted fully within the terms of the contract. As for meeting Mr. Morgan, I suggest you think carefully before proceeding,” Cedric
called after him.
Dorian turned back, his eyes blazing with anger, his face growing darker. “Where is Lila Hart?”
Finding Lila had been his primary goal today.
He knew Magi Pictures had every right to terminate the contract under the terms, but losing a deal he had already secured left him unwilling to let it go.
Meeting with Kieran was still on his agenda, but t
it first, he needed to secure the role of Rowan in Heart of Clarity. And to do that, he needed to speak with Lila.
Cedric’s normally calm gaze shifted slightly at the mention of Lila’s
“I’m sorry, but we cannot disclose the whereabouts of our employees.”
Dorian clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking, veins bulging across the back of his hands. He was on the brink of an outburst.
Without another word, he spun around and slammed the door behind him, the sound reverberating through the hallway.
He thought, “Does Cedric think that if he doesn’t tell me, I won’t be able to find her?”
He had his assistant, Ryan Holmes, investigate where Magi Pictures agents worked. The response came quickly
Dorian took the elevator down, and as the doors opened, he was greeted by a familiar face.
His eyes narrowed as he took in the man’s uniform–customized attire for Magi Pictures employees
Hab, has Magi Pictures turned into a shelter for Nexus Entertainment’s leftovers?
Ethan noticed Dorian’s sharp gaze and felt uneasy under its intensity as if he were being dissected.
“Mr. Blake, is there something I can help you with? Ethan asked cautiously
Dorian let out a derisive laugh, looking down at him as if he were still the subordinate he used to command. “Where’s Lila?”
Ethan didn’t reply, his brows furrowing rightly. It wasn’t clear whether he didn’t know or simply didn’t want to say
Dorian’s patience wore thin. “Don’t make me ask twice.”
Taking a deep breath, Ethan stepped back, putting some distance between them. “Mr. Blake, you and Lila no longer have anything to do with each other. I have no obligation to tell you anything.”
This calm, self–assured demeanor only made Dorian laugh. Did they all think they had climbed to the top just because they were now with Magi Pictures? “To think you’d talk to me like this!” Dorian sneered. “Do you think that just because you’re with Magi Pictures now, I can’t do anything to you?
