MainNovelChapter 149
When Dorian heard these words, he hesitated, but didn't offer any further rebuttal.
Margaret noticed his wavering and pressed on, "Dorian, listen to your aunt. We're family, and | would never harm
you.
"Ms. Joyce is beautiful and well-educated. | know you're a man of loyalty, and you've been with Lila for many
years. The Blake family has never mistreated her."
"Have we ever made her go hungry or dressed her poorly all these years? Without you, she would never have
seen this world of high society. You've been more than good to her."
"You're loyal and caring, but she's not grateful. Didn't you see how she treatedjust now? The way she looked
atwas so arrogant as if she were sheiress from a noble family. It was really irritating!"
The last comment made Dorian think of Lila's recent attitude toward him. His brows instantly furrowed, and a
wave of irritation rose in his chest.
"Dorian, go meet Ms. Joyce. If things go well, you might even discuss a business partnership. There's nothing to
lose."
Dorian pinched the bridge of his nose, thinking for a long while before finally speaking. "Fine, just this once."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMargaret was overjoyed upon hearing his concession. "Don't worry! | won't make any decisions for you. Ms. Joyce
said that if you agree to meet, it'll be at the
South Street Restaurant on Wednesday at 6:00 pm.
"She's already reserved a table. Just don't miss the time."
Dorian nodded, looking as though he was being coerced into this.
This was the only way he could convince himself that he wasn't betraying his conscience.
As Margaret and Darcy were leaving, Margaret's gaze fell upon Lila, who was carefully helping Jamie adjust her
costume.
She was focused, her movements delicate.
Margaret sneered with disdain. "She's just a mere servant, and she dares to act high and mighty? How
laughable."
"Magi Pictures has scheduled the photo shoot for next week. I'll take you there, and while we're at it, we can
meet the head of Joyce Group," Lila said while making snotes and organizing the schedule.
Lila met Benjamin at Lane Group's charity gala, and they hit it off.
However, Benjamin knew that Lila had connections to Morgan group. Even so, since this wasn't a formal project
under Morgan group, it wasn't significant enough for Benjamin to get involved.
Instead, he had assigned a company manager to liaise with her.
Lila also planned to speak to Cedric about getting Jamie and the others to
audition for roles in "Heart Of Clarity".
Samuel would wrap up their filming in another week, while Nexus Entertainment would likely need another
month.
If they passed the audition, they could join the crew seamlessly. The work intensity would increase, but they
were young, and it was the perfect tfor them to work hard and accumulate experience.
During this period, Lila had arranged for an acting coach to train them. If they couldn't join the crew, she would
hire more coaches from different fields to help them strengthen their foundations.
On Wednesday, Lila first took Jamie and the others to the company.
"Mr. Jordan has arranged for someone to accompany you. If you need anything, just givea call. If you finish
earlier than | do, wait forin the office."
The two nodded obediently, like little kids waving goodbye to their working mother. It wasn't until they were
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsdistance away that they realized something felt off.
"Do you think we've bectoo dependent on Ms. Hart?" Jamie spoke up. Teddy nodded in agreement. "A bit."
Then, he asked, "Jamie, why don't you want to work at your own company? Wouldn't that be a better
opportunity?"
She pursed her lips, dodging the topic. "How about we talk to Mr. Jordan later and ask for an assistant?"
Not thinking too much about it, Teddy said, "But we're just two rookies without any projects. The company
probably won't give us that many resources."
"Let's ask first. If it works, it works. If not, forget it. At least, if we get an assistant, Ms. Hart won't have to do
everything herself."
Meanwhile, Lila made her way to South Street Restaurant, where she had arranged to meet the head of Joyce
Group at 5:00 pm.
She arrived half an hour early, and as she entered, a girl in a red dress with blonde hair bumped into her.
"Sorry." The girl apologized, and her eyes lit up when she saw Lila.
Lila smiled and casually replied, "It's fine," before heading inside.
The Joyce Group representative arrived 20 minutes later.
He looked to be in his early 40s, but his behavior didn't match. This was Owen Gray, the Vice President of Joyce
Group, and his attitude toward Lila was very cordial.
