Alexander paused, like he remembered something, and looked at Maya. "What did you just say?"


    Maya was taken aback but quickly repeated herself. Afterward, she wiped her tears with her sleeve, looking upset.


    "If thepany doesn''t need me, just end the contract. No need to target me like this," she added.


    Alexander watched her expressionlessly. Once she finished, he turned to Ronald. "Is that true?"


    Ronald frowned, unsure if Alexander wanted to follow the rules or back Maya. He hesitated before saying, "We waited for her on set for a while, so I asked Helen to call her. I don''t know the details." Helen felt let down, not expecting Ronald to stay neutral at such a moment.


    Alexander''s gaze shifted to Helen.


    Helen''s expression changed slightly. She lowered her head, unsure what to say. She had already exined everything. If Alexander couldn''t see the truth, there was nothing more she could do.


    "Then what are we waiting for? Continue shooting," Alexander ordered.


    He then casually walked to a chair and sat down.


    Ronald asked cautiously, "Do you mean let Maya be the female lead?"


    Alexander looked at him coolly. "Then who else?"


    His meaning was clear. No objections meant agreement. Ronald sighed and turned to everyone. "Get ready. Maya, go get your makeup and costume done."


    Maya was thrilled. She nced at Alexander and started daydreaming.


    She thought, ''Alexander never shows up, but today he came to help me. This can''t be a coincidence. He must be interested in me.''


    Suppressing her excitement, she quickly went to change.


    Ronald looked at Quinn with some regret. He said, "Don''t be discouraged. There will be another chance."


    This wasn''t just tofort her. Ronald believed she could really sign with thepany. With her looks, she could quickly gain fans even if she started anew. Quinn nodded slightly. "I understand."Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Although she hadn''t been keen on shooting, Alexander''s interference made her angry.


    With so many people around, Quinn didn''t confront him. She ignored Alexander and went to help set up the scene.


    Watching Quinn busy herself, Alexander leisurely lit a cigarette and sat quietly.


    This ce used to be a pedestrian street under a mall. After their department made some money, Otis rented it outst year. It had all kinds of stores, making it perfect for shooting. Besides shooting, these stores also did business, but only offered delivery services. The money earned helped cover the rent.


    Alexander sat in a café with several umbres overhead. Once he sat there, no one else dared toe over.


    They had to move the equipment to the café in front.
