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.

After she left, Maja massaged her temples, only to be interrupted by Zoey’s entrance. Her injury was healing, and she had just been discharged from the hospital.

“Mr. Pennyfeather,” Zoey began, “we’re meeting with Director Drew tonight. He hasn’t disclosed who the other investor is, but he said we’ll find out when we get there. Also, he hasn’t revealed our involvement to the other investor.”

The project they were considering was a major movie. Initially, only one company was set to invest, but Maja had used her mentor’s influence to secure half of the investment opportunity.

The script was too good to pass up and the project was estimated to cost around $30 million, with Maja and the other investor splitting the cost.

However, the other investor was likely less than thrilled about her involvement. If it wasn’t for her intervention, they could’ve secured the entire investment and reaped ten times the profit.

Maja had been working tirelessly over the past two weeks to expand her company. Some of the partners that had been poached were slowly returning, and the company’s operations were now stable.

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