Chapter 74

Ivan pondered for a moment, then tucked the contract away. I'm cool with this, but I won't be able to assign you a dedicated agent. I'll fill in for now, handling your shoot for the next three months. During this tim Agnes responded, "Deal"

After signing the contract again, Ivan said, "Tonight we're have a meal with the director and the scriptwriter. We need to get to know each other a bit before we start work in three days.*

Ivan replied, "According to our deal with Lakeside College, it's not time to sort your dorm yet. I'll find you a temporary spot, you can crash there for a bit."

Agnes agreed. She didn't have spare money for living expenses and had to rely on others. She figured she'd pay him back for the accommodation once she started making some money from acting. Agnes spent the entire day reading the script in Ivan's office

Ava said, "I heard the male lead's been decided but hasn't been announced yet. I thought I'd meet him today. Any idea who it might be?"
