As the review for 'Nirvana and Rebirth' remained incomplete, Violeta's anxiety was mounting.

She had intended to launch the promotional campaign once the approval was secured, but with the domestic version still pending, everything was on hold.

The film had been carefully edited to eliminate any potential issues, so Violeta was confident that the approval process should be smooth.

If it went through, she could avoid burdening Hayden for assistance.

However, if it failed, she would need to rely on him, as he had previously agreed to help if necessary.

She had a plan either way.

But to her frustration, the review process was dragging on.

With her trip to Pherances approaching in the middle of the month and 'As Soon As We Meet' already gaining traction and beginning its promotion, Violeta felt a growing sense of urgency. That evening, once she returned to Liberty Grove, she called Hayden.

Holding the phone, she stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, her gaze fixed on the dimly lit rooftop garden across the street.

After a few rings, Hayden's calm and clear voice rang out.

"Hello."

Violeta tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear and took a few steps. "Hi, it's me."

"I recognise your voice, Vio."

"Sorry for calling so late. I hope I'm not interrupting anything."
