Chapter 107

Just then, Josephine's phone rang. She flashed an apologetic smile to the room before stepping out to answer the call.

"Ms. Dunn," came Mason's crisp voice. "Forbes Group's PR department just called. They're holding the launch event for 'Sky High' the day after tomorrow, and they want you to record a VCR. They're offering a million dollars."

A million dollars? That was a pretty generous offer. But Josephine didn't even pause to consider it. "I'm not doing it."

Mason chuckled softly. "Got it. Also, the interview schedule is finalized. The first round's tomorrow at 10:00 am. Eight candidates. Second round the day after- down to five. We'll pick the male lead on the third day."

Tomorrow? That was fast. "Okay. Make sure you notify Ethan-tell him to be ready." After hanging up, she felt a little conflicted, holding her phone in her hand.

Joe's condition was still unstable. Was it really okay for her to leave for Sunvale? But no matter what, she had to. The film wasn't just about her; too many people were involved to risk a delay.

When she stepped back into the room, the atmosphere had completely shifted. Gone was the easy warmth and laughter. In its place was a stiff, awkward silence.

Joe was slouching near the bed, scrolling his phone like it. Zayn pretended to be busy, tidying things up. Meanwhile, Yvan was eating the pastries she brought like no one was around. The tension was thick enough to chew on.
