The next day, Sandra broke the news to Lilian and the crew accompanying her to Mescourt, Mr. Ross of the Ross family planned to invest a whopping 300 million dollars in a grand Eastern mythology film starring Lilian.
This announcement thrilled everyone, except Lilian, who remained calm.
She shared her concerns with Sandra, “The Ross family’s film company is investing such a colossal amount in a movie for
“What if I don’t do well? I’d feel terrible for letting them down.”
Indeed. Lilian’s first worry was not meeting the investors‘ expectations, especially given the scale of the investment – hundred million dollars at her first gu.
Though she had starred in million dollar movies in her home country, those figures were in millions.
But Mr. Ross’s investment was in hundred millions–a completely different ball game,
Sandra reassured her with a smile, Lilian, don’t worry!
“Your acting skills are top–notch, even if they’re not the absolute best in your home country.
“Didn’t your film ‘Amazing Grace‘ win the Oscar for Best Foreign Film?
That’s proof of your talent. Mr. Ross sees your potential. Otherwise, he wouldn’t invest such a significant sum in an Eastern mythology blockbuster starring you.”
The other staff members nodded in agreement. “Sandra is right
“Lilian’s acting skills are beyond doubt!”
“Lilian, this is your chance to become an international superstar”
Hearing the praises, Lilian humbly responded, “You all flatter me too much. I’m still a newcomer and have much to learn.
Sandra added, “See how modest Lilian is! She’s not like some of those young stars back home who get a bit of success and become cocky.
“That’s why she’s caught the eye of a major player like the Ross Film Company.”
“Please, Sandra, don’t praise me like that. I truly have a lot to learn, Lilian replied, slightly shy.
Sandra chuckled. “Alright, let’s ease up on the praises for Lilian. We have a busy day ahead with promotional activities for the film at over a dozen theaters in Newville. We should get going!”
Then, Sandra, Lilian, and the staff left the hotel and headed to the theaters for the promotional event.
Throughout the day, they tirelessly promoted the movie “Amazing Grace” at several major theaters in Newville. They were so busy that they hardly had a moment to catch their breath.
It wasn’t until six in the evening that Lilian finally wrapped up all the promotional activities and returned to the hotel. Once back in her room, she collapsed on the sofa, feeling utterly exhausted, her muscles aching from the day’s exertions. Then, she remembered her plan to meet Gilmore that evening. She picked up her phone and quickly called him
“Lilian, have you finished your work for the day?” Gilmore asked as soon as he answered.

A gentle smile spreail arross Lilian’s face as she replied, “Yes, Gilmore, I’ve just gotten back to the hotel. It’s been a hectic day.”
“How about I come over now and we have dinner together? Gilmore suggested over the phone.
Lihan nodded, “Sure, come over, and we’ll have dinner together
“Okay,” Gilmore responded.
Just as Lilian was about to chat more with Gilmore, there was a knock on her door.
Knock knock
“Hold on a second. Gilmore, someone’s at my door, she said into the phone.
“Sure,” Gilmore replied.
“Who is it?” Lilian called out towards the door.
“Lilian, it’s me, Sandra,” came Sandra’s voice from the other side.
“Coming, Sandra.” Lilian responded.
She placed her phone on the nearby table and got up to open the door.
As she opened the door, Sandra walked in, saying, “Lilian, you really worked hard today.”
Lilian closed the door and shook her head at Sandra, “It’s not
The two settled down on the sofa in the room-
at all, Sandra. This is part of my job.”
Sandra looked at Lilian with a smile and said, “Lilian, did I mention today about the Ross family’s film company wanting to collaborate with us!”
Lilian nodded, “Yes, what about it, Sandra?”
“Well, Sandra began, “Mr. Ross of the esteemed Ross family is investing a significant amount, and I think it’s only proper that we meet him in person.
“We also need to discuss the specifics of the collaboration with Mr. Ross.
“So, we’re scheduled to meet Mr. Ross around nine tonight in the Presidential Suite 8 on the top floor of this hotel.”
Lilian’s brows furrowed slightly, “Sandra, is it really appropriate to meet in his presidential suite? Couldn’t we discuss the collaboration in a private room at the hotel? Wouldn’t that be better?”
Sandra laughed, “You’re overthinking it, Lilian
“He’s a scion of a major family. They don’t do meetings in hotel private rooms. They stay in the most luxurious presidential
suites.
It’s a high honor for us to be received there.
“And besides, I’ll be with you, what could possibly happen?
“Moreover, Mr. Ross is a married man, deeply devoted to his wife.”
Hearing this, Lilian thought to herself, maybe she was indeed worrying too much.

Sandra replied, “It’s better not to go too early. Mr. Ross might be any. Tera plan to meet him after dinner, and nice”
Lilian nodded in agreement, “Okay”
“Alright, take some rest now, freshen up with a shower, and we’ll have dinner together around seven and said as the stood up. “Til leave you to it for now.”
“Understood,” Lilian responded.
Then she escorted Sandra out of her room.
After closing the door and returning to the sofa, Lilian couldn’t help but think to herself, “It looks like dinner with Gilmore will have to be postponed yet again,
“It’s almost 7 p.m., and after dimer, I have to meet Mr. Ross to discuss the movie collaboration”
Lilian sighed helplessly
Picking up her phone from the table, she said into it, “Gilmore, you heard all that, right?”
Yeah, I heard it, Gilmore’s voice came through the phone. “No worries, you go ahead with your dinner and work stuff Just let me know when you’re done, and I’ll come find you.”

Gilmore’s thoughtfulness always warmed her heart.
She softly replied to the phone, “Okay, I’ll call you once I’m done
“Alright, bye.”
“Bye
Sitting on the sofa in his manor, Gilmore ended the call.
However, a cold, sharp gleam flickered in his eyes.
He hadn’t expected Sandra to try and push Lilian into a dangerous situation
What a snake–hearted woman!
Unconsciously, Gilmore’s hand clenched into a fist.
He had overheard Sandra’s words to Lilian since the call hadn’t been disconnected.
Using God’s Eye, Gilmore had learned about the dark scheme Sandra and Neil were plotting
Targeting his woman crossed the line for Gilmore.
Of course, Gilmore wouldn’t let them get away with it.
