The atmosphere in the private dining room was strange, though he seemed to be the only one oblivious to it.

Maja didn’t touch her fork, instead engaging in a quick conversation with Director Drew about the film.

Despite this, Ian ladled another bowl of turtle soup and pushed it towards her.

Maja quickly stood, “Director Drew, let’s conclude our discussion about the film here. If there’s anything else to add, feel free to reach out to Star Movie group.”

Director Drew, eager to leave, shook her hand promptly.

“Ms. Pennyfeather, rest assured.”

He then turned to Ian, “Mr. Raymond, let’s call it a day.”
