Chapter 191

Flora stepped inside, her expression carrying a trace of unease.

Her usually poised demeanor was shaken, and a faint panic could be heard in her voice.

"I heard about the lawsuit," she blurted out, her gaze darting around the room, as if searching for an anchor.

"This... this is clearly just a minor issue! How could they use something so trivial to push for a contract termination? That doesn't seem right, does it?"

Her voice wavered slightly, betraying her nervousness.

But the moment her eyes skimmed the room and failed to land on Cole, her expression shifted... disappointment flashed across her face for the briefest second before she masked it.

Linda, who had been silently observing, didn't miss this detail.

A cold feeling slithered into her chest. Was Flora truly here to discuss the lawsuit? Or was this just an excuse to find Cole?

Suppressing her irritation, Linda grabbed her bag and stood up. "I'm going to find Leo. I need to talk to him more about this."

She couldn't afford to let this contract issue remain unresolved. Even though Leo had made his stance clear, she wasn't ready to give up yet.

Without sparing Flora another glance, she walked out. The air behind her remained tense, as if the tension from her thoughts had settled in the very atmosphere of the room.

The next morning, Linda arrived early at STARLINE Studios.

The crisp morning air did little to cool the frustration bubbling inside her. She stood outside the building, waiting.

When Nora arrived at the office, she immediately spotted Linda. Their eyes met.

For a moment, time seemed to slow. There was no greeting, no exchange of words... only a silent battle of

wills between them.

Linda's lips pressed into a thin line, her hands clenching at her sides.
