Unexpectedly, Xan had barely been there a few minutes to win Benjamin over.
Indeed, thereâs no one in this world who can resist the charm of his darling niece!
âThatâs fantastic!â Oliver clapped his hands and laughed, pulling them both to sit down, âLetâs get down to business and talk about the contract!â
The discussion moved from the contract to the script, and it wasnât until the afternoon that they wrapped up.
Benjamin stood up, still enthusiastic, and looked at Xanthea with admiration, âMs. Nightshade, you truly have a brilliant mind. Your insights into the script even put me to shame.â
âYou flatter me, Movie King.â
âThereâs no need for formalities, Ms. Nightshade. You can call me Benjamin, just like Mr. Lopez does.â
Calling him by his first name? Isnât that a bit too impolite?
Although Xanthea didnât know much about the intricacies of entertainment industry, she knew that this industry valued etiquette, especially the respect shown to seniors. But recalling his earlier mention of age, it seemed he was quite sensitive about being considered old.
âAlright, then you can call me Xan.â
Xan, Xan.
Benjamin murmured the name in his heart and nodded with a smile.
âUncle, I need to discuss something with you.â
Before leaving, Xanthea pulled Oliver aside, âI talked to the project team earlier and found out that the filming location is quite far from home. I was thinking of renting a place in the western areas of Crestwood for convenience.â
âNo problem, Iâll take care of it!â
At the top floor of the Lockwood Group headquarters.
Jacob rushed into the presidentâs office with a stack of documents, âChairman, the investigation into Ms. Nightshadeâs motorcycle explosion has been completed. Due to the severe destruction at the scene, all traces have been obliterated.
My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace ï¤Chapter 102 To prevent the leakage of audition materials, there were no cameras installed in the makeup room or rehearsal area that day. After screening all who entered the Glory Building, only two had the opportunity to commit the crimeâMiranda and Isabella.
But one is Ms. Nightshadeâs stepsister, and the other claimed she had stepped out to smoke, intentionally hiding to avoid paparazzi, with her agent and assistant as alibis.â
âMiranda?â
âYes! We initially wanted to investigate her, but it turns out she suffered a severe drug overdose recently and is currently hospitalized. Itâs likely she wonât be able to speak for months.â
Orion pondered for a moment, âContinue the investigation.â
âWill do!â Jacob closed the file, slightly surprised by how much the chairman cared for Ms. Nightshade, even suspecting her own sister.
âAlso, chairman, while investigating the accident, I noticed that Ms. Nightshade moved into a new house for filming âRealm of Illusionsâ, right next to your temporary residence in the western areas of Crestwood.â
Hearing this, Orion slowly looked up.
âAh, moving is exhausting!â
After settling all her belongings in her new home, Xanthea took a relaxing bath and flopped onto the bed in her bunny pajamas.
As the evening breeze picked up, she remembered her undies still hanging outside, and she planned to retrieve them. However, to her surprise, when she went outside and searched around, she couldnât find them anywhere. Just as she was puzzled, she unexpectedly spotted her pink Hello Kitty panties lying on the neighboring balconyâs planter!
She was startled and immediately tiptoed to look across. She only saw a pair of menâs gray slippers on the balcony.
Did a man live next door?
This was so embarrassing. She needed to retrieve her undies quickly!
