Lucy paused, her countenance momentarily suspended, before her smile intensified, radiating an even greater brilliance.
Leaning closer to Sylvia, she feigned a discreet conversation, her voice barely audible. “Those three directors hold significant sway within our company, known figures in their own right. The fate of our artists rests in their hands. Ms. Lancelot, I implore you not to antagonize them.”
Sylvia nodded expressionlessly.
Once their private conversation concluded, they pivoted Sylviafully.
The three directors fixed their gaze upon Sylvia, their eyes gleaming with avarice, an unsettling sight that stirred a wave of nausea within her.
“Director Lancelot, I must say, you more than live up to your reputation. I mean, not only are you drop–dead gorgeous, but your figure is on point too.”
One of the directors, Mr. Wesley, spoke up.
Sylvia responded with a gracious smile, “I’m truly flattered. You all are the ones who truly stand out.”
Lucy extended a welcoming gesture, inviting everyone to have a seat.
Lifting her glass, she took the initiative to toast Sylvia. “Here’s to you, Ms. Lancelot, for engaging in our first face–to–face business discussion since assuming your role. I raise my glass in a toast, wishing you every success.”
She insisted, pressing the glass of red wine into Sylvia’s hand.
Sylvia elegantly swirled the wine glass and brought it to her nose, savoring the aroma. “The 1982 Lafite, truly a splendid choice.”
With a gentle smile, she delicately clinked glasses with Lucy before raising her head and swiftly downing the contents in one gulp.
Another director chimed in, offering a flattering remark. “I must admit, Director Lancelot, I’m pleasantly surprised by your knowledge of red wine. Your expertise in drinking is awe–inspiring, and your charm is undeniable. Please allow me to raise a toast in your honor.”
Sylvia inquired, “Wasn’t today’s agenda meant to cover the casting decisions for Epicent Films‘ script? Why was there no mention of it?”

The directors displayed a nonchalant demeanor. “Certainly, we will address it, but it’s customary to enjoy a drink before diving into business matters at the table. Director Lancelot, you know the rules, don’t you?”
The three directors smiled and raised their glasses, toasting her one after another.
Sylvia didn’t refuse. She drank one glass after another.

A knock echoed through the door as Tim entered. Carrying himself with respect, he handed over a piece of information regarding Sylvia.
