When Kieran arrived at Magi Pictures, Lila had just stepped out of the cafeteria.

Seeing him, she was visibly surprised.

Still smiling, she took his hand and started leading him toward her office.

But after a few steps, she suddenly paused. "Wait. Have you eaten lunch yet?"

Lila gasped. "Why didn't you say something? Come on, food first."
