Terry laughed in disbelief. He pointed at Dorian, then at Zara, “You two are amazing, just… amazing!”
Bocian realized Terry had misunderstood and tried to clarify, “I have done nothing wrong to Lila. Zara has been getting a lot of negative press, which is mostly di
what I did. I was worried she’d spiral if she was left alone at home.”
The would have been better off not explaining anything at all. Tenty didn’t even want to answer him after hearing that. He simply turned to leave.
“Terry, “Dorian called out and halted Terry’s steps. “Just give me a few more days. Once the situation is under control, I will dispel the rumors around Zara. Aft that I will not contact her any longer. ”
Zara clenched her fists. The calm expression she previously had instantly shifted
Durian wanted to add that he felt guilty for Zara and needed to make things right, but seeing Terry’s disgusted look, he couldn’t bring himself to say it out loud. Terry’s dark face did not lighten after the explanation. “You’d better follow through on that. Don’t come back to me with any of this nonsense if you can’t stick t

“As for the script, he continued. “Lila only said she’d consider it, but so far, it doesn’t seem like she suspected anything. when she decides,”

Terry gave Zara a look of absolute contempt. “And as for you, get your life together before you reach out to me again. As a friend, I’ve said my piece.” With that, he got in his car and drove away, disappearing down the road in seconds.
Dorian turned to Zara, who was clearly upset, and said gently, “Terry can be harsh, don’t take it personally. Once all of this is settled, concentrate on your filming To avoid any suspicion, let’s avoid contacting each other.
Zara bit her lower lip, looking rather distressed.
She almost blurted the question she’d been thinking. Why did it always have to be Lila?
Zara could accomplish everything Lila could. Zara didn’t just mean being a better agent or assistant–she could handle everything else just as effectively, even
more so than Lila
Lila was busy filming the whole day and only had time in the evening to go over the script Terry had given her.
Even though what he said during the day made sense, she was still not convinced.
She knew how close Dorian and Terry were, but she had hardly interacted with Terry herself. Immediately after turning down Dorian’s attempts to reconcile, she suddenly gets offered a script? She couldn’t shake the suspicion that this was all Dorian’s doing.
She skimmed through the script quickly and thought it was generally of decent quality. Based on Dorian’s current position, the resources he could get should be at least better than what Terry was claiming.
Terry an answer just yet. She figured it was best to wait things out a bit longer, just incase,
This pui Lila a little at ease, but she still wasn’t planning to give Ter
The next morning, Lila intended to stop by to see Jamie and Teddy after wrapping up her work in the morning.
However, she got sidetracked by a flood of unread messages on social media during a break. Was the world ending? She opened it to find that the messages were from a group chat with Jamie and Teddy, affectionately named by Teddy as “Top 3 Richest“.
Were these two troublemakers chatting instead of focusing on filming? Amused, she scrolled through the chat history, and her smile slowly faded.
Jamie: “What’s going on? is Zara working as Dolan’s assistant now?
Teddy replied with a shocked emoji.
Jamie: “I just saw Dorian lead Zara Into his walling room. When I asked around, I found out that she’s been sidelined because of all the rumors and is
