Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 125 You Reap What You Sow

Brady looked Alistair up and down several times, his face lighting up with unmistakable excitement. "Are you really Dancing Willow, the author of 'If There's a Next Second"?"

The email he'd received mentioned his screenplay had made it to the top three, and they wanted to discuss its content in more

detail.

Brady settled back in his seat and launched into lavish praise for Alistair, claiming he was impressed by someone so young having such talent. Then, he smoothly changed direction, mentioning there were still "issues" with the script that needed fixing. He'd invited Alistair to help him succeed.

By this point, Alistair knew something was definitely off. He just
