Despite the mishap, the culmination proved unexpectedly favourable.

Milly’s relief was palpable as she exhaled deeply.
Jonathan, engulfed in a daze, was lifted onto a stretcher, struggling to maintain coherence amidst the acute
agony.
Amidst themotion, he caught a glimpse of a graceful silhouette amidst the crowd’s periphery, a pang of mncholy washing over him.
Even amidst the bustle and the physical distance, he discerned the anxiety etched in her gaze.
Attempting to articte, a lump formed in his throat, rendering him speechless.
As consciousness dwindled, the figure gradually faded into the distance…

Two days were left until the wrap–up, She could go back and check her grades too.
As Joy watched Milly remove her makeup, shemented, “Time sure goes by when you have fun. I thought it’d be longer, but now it’s over. I wanted it to
Milly patted the sweat off her face with a towel. Smiling, she said, “I didn’t peg you for a workaholic. You can take the time off for some rest.
“But then I won’t get to see you.” Joy pursed her lips.

Milly smiled. Gently, she said. “You won’t be reced. I have no ns to sign with any agencies just yet. You’re still my assistant. I can still hire you even
I go into contract.”
And not like I’m going to do it so soon.
Though she had started her first movie, she still had school to attend. Agencies weren’t on her list until college graduation.
Once she signed up with an agency, she’d be bound by a lot of rules. Even if she didn’t want to do certain work, the agency’s orders would be impossible
Still, there were benefits for signing up with an agency. For example, gigs would be easier to get. The artiste would have a team to handle all kinds of err
Still, education came first. Agencies wouldn’t be on her list until she was going to throw herself into the industry.
The reassurance didn’t cheer Joy up. She sniffled. Knowing her ce, she said, “Forget it. I’m not even at pro. I don’t want to hold you back, Milly.”
“You’re an assistant, not a manager.” Milly chuckled. “You won’t hold me back. Don’t think too much about it.”
Joy sighed. Let’s just wait for Mr. But’s decision. But I heard rumours. He’s going to set up an entertainment division in thepany that will only hav
“Wait, did Jordan really say that?” Milly eximed, her disbelief evident.
Is Jordan crazy? Creating a whole department just for me? That’s insane!
A full–fledged entertainmentpany involves numerous departments requiring substantial investment. It’s not something you can simplify.
Though she was confident in her future of snagging the best actress award, the initial investment needed. was near infinite.
With the Buts nearing bankruptcy, they’re still pushing for this entertainment department. Isn’t that just speeding up the family’s downfall?
Joy hadn’t expected Milly to react with both displeasure and concern. Puzzled, she asked, “Milly, why aren’t you happy? This is good news, isn’t it?”
Milly sighed. She knew it should be good news. Her brother’s gesture was heartfelt, and she should. appreciate it.
But theplications were overwhelming, and the drawbacks seemed to overshadow the benefits. How could she rejoice when she foresaw impending

“Ms. Milly, are you in there?”
Joy hurriedly got up and opened the door to find a group of people waiting, with the production crew at the forefront, arixiously seeking entry.
Observing the bustling scene. Joy sensed trouble brewing.
Frowning, she asked, “What’s going on? Is there a problem?”
The stage manager swiftly addressed the situation, saying, “Ms. Stephanie mentioned miscing an expensive bracelet. We’vebed through everyw
Upon hearing this, Joy felt an immediate urge to object, “Milly’s been filming non–stop and hasn’t returned. Plus, I’ve
been with her the whole time and didn’t see any bracelet.”
Undeterred, the stage manager persisted, ‘Could we stille in and have a look?”
Joy politely refused, “I’m sorry, the lounge has personal belongings. It wouldn’t be appropriate for you to enter and search like this.”
The stage manager found himself in a dilemma, stammering, “But I …
