Making 661


    It was already 9 pm.


    Sandra, apanied by Lilian, arrived on time at the Hilton Dynasty Hotel, heading straight to the


    presidential suite, Room No. 8. on the top floor.


    Sandra stretched out her hand and rang the doorbell.


    With a click, the door of Room No. 8 opened.


    Neil appeared in front of Sandra and Lilian


    Lilian was taken aback. “Wasn’t it supposed to be a meeting with Mr. Ross!


    “Why was someone else in the room?”

    Sandra was also surprised. She hadn’t expected Neil to be the one opening the door.


    Although she had met Neil before, she yed it cool as


    Mr. Ross’s room?”


    eting him for the first time and asked, “Excuse me, sir, is this


    Neil, maintaining the facade of not knowing Sandra, nodded and replied, “Yes, this is Mr. Ross’s


    room. Who might you be?”


    Sandra promptly responded. “We have an appointment with Mr. Ross. My name is Sandra. Could


    you please let Mr. Ross know we’re here!”


    However, before Sandra could finish speaking, they heard Mr. Ross’s voice from inside the room,


    “Neil, let them in. They are distinguished guests I’ve invited for a discussion.”


    Neil agreed and stepped aside to let Sandra and Lilian enter.


    He then closed the door and led them toward the suite’s sofa.


    Lilian and Sandra noticed that the presidential suite wasvishly decorated.


    It was like a private pce, with a spaciousyout including a living room, bedroom, bar, and more.


    Sitting on the sofa in the living room was a handsome man.


    The man they were meeting was none other than Jason, the distinguished heir of the Ross family.


    Lilian felt relieved to see Mr. Ross and Neil together in the room


    It seemed she had been overly worried before.


    Mr. Ross didn’t strike her as someone with ill intentions.


    Holding a half–filled ss of red wine, Mr. Ross casually gestured towards the opposite sofa and


    said to Sandra and Lilian, “Please, make yourselvesfortable. No need to stand on ceremony”


    Thank you, Mr. Ross,” Sandra replied with a smile, and then she and Lilian took their seats on the


    sofa.


    Neil also sat down beside Mr. Ross.


    Setting down his wine ss, Mr. Ross turned to Sandra and Lilian and began, “Sandra. Ms.


    Morales, our Ross family’s filmpany is interested in investing in a project with you. We would


    like Ms. Morales to star in a major Eastern mythological


    movie.


    “What are your thoughts on this?”


    Sandra nodded eagerly. “Mr. Ross, we’re deeply grateful for your interest in coborating with us.


    You’ve made an excellent choice. Ms. Morales‘ acting skills are well–known and widely


    acknowledged in our country.


    “I believe our partnership will surely be a great sess”


    Lilian felt a bit embarrassed by Sandra’svish praise in front of Mr. Ross.


    She almost wished Sandra would tone it down a bit.


    However, Lilian didn’t dare to contradict Sandra, fearing that it might lead Mr. Ross to doubt her


    abilities.


    She knew that one wrong move could jeopardize the entire coboration.


    Mr. Ross listened to Sandra and nodded in satisfaction.


    Then turning to Lilian, he said, “Ms. Morales, I’ve seen your award winning film ‘Amazing Grace.


    Your performance was indeed outstanding and deeply moving, truly unforgettable.”


    Lilian was surprised and ttered that Jason had watched her film and held her in such high regard.


    Lilian graciously responded to Mr. Ross, Thank you for thepliment, Mr. Ross. I’ll keep striving to


    do my best.”


    Mr. Ross, looking at Lilian with admiration, said, “I haveplete confidence in your acting


    prowess. That’s the reason why I’m willing to invest a significant amount in having you star in a


    major Eastern mythological film.


    Then he turned to Neil and instructed. “Neil, could you show Ms. Morales and her agent the


    coboration agreement we’ve prepared with her and her filmpany?”


    At this. Neil nodded, pulling a document from a drawer in the table where the coffee table was


    ced, andid the agreement in front of Sandra and Lilian.


    “Here’s the cooperation agreement. Please take a look,” he said.


    Sandra and Lilian exchanged a nce and then turned to Mr. Ross and Neil. “Alright, let’s have a


    look now,” Sandra stated.


    They picked up the document and began to review it together.


    The agreement was concise, spanning just two pages, but it clearly detailed the partnership terms


    and profit–sharing


    arrangements.


    It was a straightforward and transparent document,


    “Do you find any issues with the agreement? If there are any concerns, we can discuss them,”


    Jason asked, looking at Sandra


    and Lilian


    Both women shook their heads at Jason, ‘No issues, there’s no need for any changes.”


    “Well then, if you both agree, please go ahead and sign the agreement, Jason suggested.


    Neil handed each of them a pen and an ink pad.


    Sandra and Lilian took turns signing their names on the document and then pressed their


    fingerprints to seal the deal.


    “Excellent, with this, our partnership is officially formed,” Jason said, standing up from the sofa with


    a smile, addressing Sandra and Lilian.


    Sandra and Lilian stood up from the sofa.

    sure it will be a delightful experience.”


    Mr. Ross extended his hand to Sandra, “Pleased to work with you

    After shaking hands with Sandra, Jason then offered his hand to Lilian, “Ms. Morales, I look

    Morales?”


    “Right away, Jason, Neil responded promptly.


    On the table was a bottle of Lafite and some empty wine sses


    Neil picked up the Lafite and poured two sses of wine, offering them to Sandra and Lilian,


    “Please, enjoy.”


    Jason also picked up the ss he had been drinking from and raised it towards Sandra and Lilian.


    “Let’s toast to the sess of our partnership


    Sandra quickly took a ss from the table and said to Lilian, “Lilian, pick up your ss.”


    Lilian, who usually didn’t drink in social settings, feltpelled to join in due to Mr. Ross’s


    generosity and Sandra’s urging


    She reluctantly picked up her ss.


    “Cheers!”
