When Love Breaks Novel Josephine And Zayne

Chapter 118

Matthew seemed to pick up on Josephine's hesitation. His gaze darkened slightly, and his tone took on a subtle shift. "As long as you agree, Ms. Dunn, I'll make sure your film gets the best screening slots and the highest number of showings once it's released. We can even discuss a better profit share. But if you don't agree, I'll have to find someone else.

"It'd be a shame if the screenings went to someone else, don't you think?"

That was a threat, plain and simple. If she didn't cooperate, it would be nearly impossible for her to secure good screening slots. Matthew controlled a massive share of the theater market—almost a third of all cinemas. He wasn't someone she could afford to cross.

Suppressing a sigh, Josephine plastered a smile on her face. "Alright. I'll arrange an important role for her."

"Now that's what I like to hear!" Matthew let out a hearty laugh. "Jasmine, what are you waiting for? Thank Ms. Dunn."

"Thank you, Ms. Dunn," Jasmine mumbled. When she looked up, there was a little bit of admiration in her eyes as she glanced at Josephine.

With business settled, the dinner gradually wound down. After a few more polite toasts, everyone got up and excused themselves, each claiming to have other matters to attend to. They said goodbye to Josephine and Ethan before slipping out of the private room.
