Cornelia’s move left everyone on the backfoot, but Maja had to admit that it had paid off. Cornelia’s online popularity had skyrocketed, putting her on par with top-tier Hollywood actresses.

With a slight sigh, she waved her hand dismissively.

“You’ve worked hard filming abroad, Cornelia. Take a couple of days off. I’ll have Elvis arrange a new script for you.”

Cornelia nodded and respectfully exited the room.

Maja nodded. “Alright, we’ll meet him at seven tonight.”
