Lila woke up a little later than usual the next morning, and by then, Kieran had already left for work.

Tomorrow was the scheduled audition for casting, so despite the lingering soreness in her waist, she pulled herself together and headed to the office.

She had barely stepped inside when Michael walked in right after her.

"What the hell is going on?"

His abrupt question caught Lila off guard. "What are you talking about?"

"The auditions are tomorrow, right? So why was Matthew suddenly sent out of town for work?" he questioned.

Lila frowned. "When did this happen?"

Judging by her expression, she clearly had no idea. Michael rubbed his chin. "Cedric sent out the notice this morning."

Lila considered it for a moment. "If the new project is a good fit for him, there's no need to force him into ours. I can always find another script for him later."

It did feel a bit abrupt, but last-minute work assignments for artists weren't uncommon, so she didn't overthink it.

"Why are you so concerned about Matthew, anyway?"

Michael lazily slumped onto the couch, pretending to be deep in thought. "You wouldn't understand the joy of being taken care of up close."

Lila pressed a hand to her forehead.
