Chapter 297 Carries phone buzzed, shattering the lull in the conversation.

A glance revealed a message from the script company: Are you available at the moment? The sender was typically no-nonsense, so this formality felt oddly out of place.

Carrie figured they were probably scrambling for the script, so she typed back quickly, Its a holiday, and Im back in my hometown.

Ill send the script as soon as I return.

It wont throw off SOTS schedule.

There are issues on our end.

Put the rest of the script on hold for now.

What kind of issues? Carrie asked, confident that as long as the instructions were clear, her scripts would hit the mark without fail.

The vagueness of the response made her suspect something more troubling might be brewing behind the scenes.

This time, the reply took an agonizingly long moment to arrive: We havent finalized things with the client yet.

Well let you know when theres an update.

Carrie frowned, taken aback.

Everything had been smooth sailing until the final stretch, and now the waters were choppy.
