"This is what they call a fefatale!"

crew, and they said nothing was wrong with Lila's camera. But Lila insisted it was broken and demanded 500

her.
"What's worse is her father is ill, and all the money she's earned has gone to his treatment! Lila really deserves
to die!"
Lila had spent the afternoon busy on set but finally found sfree time. She logged into her long-neglected
Twitter account and posted the entire recording of the incident.
She added the caption-"A clear conscience needs no defense."

Seeing her post, most people criticized her before even listening to the recording. But as people began to listen
to the full recording, a heavy silence followed.
"Why are these marketing accounts spreading rumors? They don't even know the full story and are already
pushing out posts?"
"It wasn't Lila who made her kneel. She told Leyla to get up, but Leyla refused."
"I've figured it out. The two people who helped Leyla up were Jamie and Teddy, both new actors. Lila is their
agent now!"
"Leyla intentionally broke her property and then tried to blackmail her morally. There's a reason she's not
popular!"
After posting the recording, Lila didn't bother checking the online response.
Her company hadn't contacted her since that phone call, which was actually a good thing. But no matter how
well things were going, she would always be the company's abandoned pawn with Dorian around.
Recently, she looked into the current state of major entertainment companies in the country. Going solo would
definitely be difficult, especially since Jamie and Teddy were still new, and she couldn't manage everything alone.
She decided she needed to find a suitable agency and an assistant.
After weighing her options, she narrowed it down to Magi Pictures-which was under the Morgan family, and Lane
Group. Both of them were the most suitable choices.
After handling sthings, she quickly washed up and lay in bed, thinking things over. Just as she started to feel
sleepy, her phone rang. She was startled to see an unfamiliar number and wasn't keen on answering it.
The phone rang several more times before she finally answered.
"Lila, why didn't you askfor help today?" Dorian's angry voice blared through the phone.
"Why would | ask you for help?"
Hearing her tone of distaste, he felt a fire stir inside him. "Because I'm your boyfriend."
She was speechless. She sat up and took a deep breath. "Dorian, stop joking. You keep saying you're my

"If you truly wantback, showyou haven't changed. In my mind, the Dorian | know would rush over the

There was silence on the other end, and she could hear his heavy breathing through the phone.
She lowered her gaze and hung up without saying a word. She didn't block the number, and he didn't call back.
The next day, Lila continued working with the crew. She hadn't planned on going to Nexus Entertainment that
day.
However, Jamie called her first, her tone unusually cheerful. "Ms. Hart, let's have dinner together tonight."
Before Lila could respond, she heard Teddy shout in the background, "Ms. Hart, don't go! Jamie definitely wants
to play matchmaker because her brother is coming this afternoon!"
"Get out of the way." She pushed him aside. "Ms. Hart, don't listen to him. I'm just asking, and | won't force you.
"It's my brother's idea. He wants to thank you for looking out for me. We'll cpick you up."
