Making 660
The next day, Sandra broke the news to Lilian and the crew apanying her to Mescourt, Mr.
Ross of the Ross family nned to invest a whopping 300 million dors in a grand Eastern
mythology film starring Lilian.
This announcement thrilled everyone, except Lilian, who remained calm.
She shared her concerns with Sandra, “The Ross family’s filmpany is investing such a colossal
amount in a movie for
“What if I don’t do well? I’d feel terrible for letting them down.”
Indeed. Lilian’s first worry was not meeting the investors‘ expectations, especially given the scale of
the investment – hundred million dors at her first gu.
Though she had starred in million dor movies in her home country, those figures were in millions.
But Mr. Ross’s investment was in hundred millions–apletely different ball game,
Sandra reassured her with a smile, Lilian, don’t worry!
“Your acting skills are top–notch, even if they’re not the absolute best in your home country.
“Didn’t your film ‘Amazing Grace‘ win the Oscar for Best Foreign Film?
That’s proof of your talent. Mr. Ross sees your potential. Otherwise, he wouldn’t invest such a
significant sum in an Eastern mythology blockbuster starring you.”
The other staff members nodded in agreement. “Sandra is right
“Lilian’s acting skills are beyond doubt!”
“Lilian, this is your chance to be an international superstar”
Hearing the praises, Lilian humbly responded, “You all tter me too much. I’m still a neer and
have much to learn.
Sandra added, “See how modest Lilian is! She’s not like some of those young stars back home who
get a bit of sess and be cocky.
“That’s why she’s caught the eye of a major yer like the Ross Film Company.”
“Please, Sandra, don’t praise me like that. I truly have a lot to learn, Lilian replied, slightly shy.
Sandra chuckled. “Alright, let’s ease up on the praises for Lilian. We have a busy day ahead with
promotional activities for the film at over a dozen theaters in Newville. We should get going!”
Then, Sandra, Lilian, and the staff left the hotel and headed to the theaters for the promotional
event.
Throughout the day, they tirelessly promoted the movie “Amazing Grace” at several major theaters
in Newville. They were so busy that they hardly had a moment to catch their breath.
It wasn’t until six in the evening that Lilian finally wrapped up all the promotional activities and
returned to the hotel. Once back in her room, she copsed on the sofa, feeling utterly exhausted,
her muscles aching from the day’s exertions. Then, she remembered her n to meet Gilmore that
evening. She picked up her phone and quickly called him
“Lilian, have you finished your work for the day?” Gilmore asked as soon as he answered.

A gentle smile spreail arross Lilian’s face as she replied, “Yes, Gilmore, I’ve just gotten back to the
hotel. It’s been a hectic day.”
“How about Ie over now and we have dinner together? Gilmore suggested over the phone.
Lihan nodded, “Sure,e over, and we’ll have dinner together
“Okay,” Gilmore responded.
Just as Lilian was about to chat more with Gilmore, there was a knock on her door.

Knock knock
“Hold on a second. Gilmore, someone’s at my door, she said into the phone.
“Sure,” Gilmore replied.
“Who is it?” Lilian called out towards the door.
“Lilian, it’s me, Sandra,” came Sandra’s voice from the other side.
“Coming, Sandra.” Lilian responded.
She ced her phone on the nearby table and got up to open the door.
As she opened the door, Sandra walked in, saying, “Lilian, you really worked hard today.”
Lilian closed the door and shook her head at Sandra, “It’s not
The two settled down on the sofa in the room-
at all, Sandra. This is part of my job.”
Sandra looked at Lilian with a smile and said, “Lilian, did I mention today about the Ross family’s
filmpany wanting to coborate with us!”
Lilian nodded, “Yes, what about it, Sandra?”
“Well, Sandra began, “Mr. Ross of the esteemed Ross family is investing a significant amount, and I
think it’s only proper that we meet him in person.
“We also need to discuss the specifics of the coboration with Mr. Ross.
“So, we’re scheduled to meet Mr. Ross around nine tonight in the Presidential Suite 8 on the top
floor of this hotel.”
Lilian’s brows furrowed slightly, “Sandra, is it really appropriate to meet in his presidential suite?
Couldn’t we discuss the coboration in a private room at the hotel? Wouldn’t that be better?”
Sandraughed, “You’re overthinking it, Lilian
“He’s a scion of a major family. They don’t do meetings in hotel private rooms. They stay in the most
luxurious presidential
suites.
It’s a high honor for us to be received there.
“And besides, I’ll be with you, what could possibly happen?
“Moreover, Mr. Ross is a married man, deeply devoted to his wife.”
Hearing this, Lilian thought to herself, maybe she was indeed worrying too much.

Sandra replied, “It’s better not to go too early. Mr. Ross might be any. Tera n to meet him after
dinner, and nice”
Lilian nodded in agreement, “Okay”
“Alright, take some rest now, freshen up with a shower, and we’ll have dinner together around
seven and said as the stood up. “Til leave you to it for now.”
“Understood,” Lilian responded.
Then she escorted Sandra out of her room.
After closing the door and returning to the sofa, Lilian couldn’t help but think to herself, “It looks like
dinner with Gilmore will have to be postponed yet again,
“It’s almost 7 p.m., and after dimer, I have to meet Mr. Ross to discuss the movie coboration”
Lilian sighed helplessly
Picking up her phone from the table, she said into it, “Gilmore, you heard all that, right?”
Yeah, I heard it, Gilmore’s voice came through the phone. “No worries, you go ahead with your
dinner and work stuff Just let me know when you’re done, and I’lle find you.”
Lilian felt a warm glow in her heart, touched by his underst
Gilmore’s thoughtfulness always warmed her heart.
She softly replied to the phone, “Okay, I’ll call you once I’m done
“Alright, bye.”
“Bye
Sitting on the sofa in his manor, Gilmore ended the call.
However, a cold, sharp gleam flickered in his eyes.
He hadn’t expected Sandra to try and push Lilian into a dangerous situation
What a snake–hearted woman!
Unconsciously, Gilmore’s hand clenched into a fist.
He had overheard Sandra’s words to Lilian since the call hadn’t been disconnected.
Using God’s Eye, Gilmore had learned about the dark scheme Sandra and Neil were plotting
Targeting his woman crossed the line for Gilmore.
Of course, Gilmore wouldn’t let them get away with it.
