“Mom, when can eat those again? I really want to have some.” Lexi’s eyes sparkled with hope.

Linda replied, “You can have some once you’ve had your next checkup, and if the doctor allows it”

The two of them headed off to work respectively after having breakfast with Lexi

Linda was crupled with back–to–back meetings to discuss the plans of the production as the filming was about to begin.

She hoped that the screenwriters could recommend candidates they felt were best suited for the parts since some roles had yet to be finalized. The most suitable candidates could then be confirmed through intermens.

However, most of the candidates recommended by the screenwriting team were influenced by personal agendas. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Linda skimmed through the documents they submitted and let out a laugh during the meeting. “Do you all think I’m some kind of saint?”

The screenwriting team exchanged nervous glances and was unsure of what Linda was getting at

Do you think I’d still be undecided on the casting if these candidates were such a perfect fit for the roles? 1 may have plenty of money, but I’m not a fool. I’m not against the idea that you’re trying to sneak in actors who have helped you out in the past.

“I’ve mentioned that I’ll have a professional team review everything before making the final decision if you truly think these actors might fit in the roles of some of our company’s

“I’ve also heard that some of you have been saying behind my back that I don’t respect the screenwriters opinions and that I cast solely based on my own preferences.

“So, as the director, am I not allowed to make decisions based on my judgment when choosing the cast? Are you saying that I’m supposed to follow your instructions when I’m the one finding this project and directing it? Doesn’t that make me a pathetic director?”

She slammed her hand on the table. A loud sound echoed through the room.

Everyone in the meeting was stunned. This was the first time they had ever seen Linda lose her temper after working with her for so long.

“I’ve shown you respect by allowing you to have a say in many aspects. It wasn’t a big deal to me to offer you those privileges as you were all my colleagues. But you’ve repeatedly trampled on the inpect I’ve extended by gossiping behind my back like I’m the problem.

In that case, we no longer need to continue working together. There are plenty of screenwriters who want to collaborate with me. I don’t need any of you!

Linda didn’t lack screwers or scripts She had only shown them respect due to their collaborations on previous projects. To put it bluntly, they would’ve had nothing to their name without the association of having worked with Linda.

Talented individuals were abundant in this industry. Which director would be willing to spend money and collaborate with them if they had no connections or a strong reputation? “Ma Felix, that’s not what we meant. It’s just that the actors we’re familiar with are mostly at this level We don’t have access to bigger names,” One of the screenwriters stepped in to explain

Linda nearly broke into a laugh as she listened to the explanation. Even Lina, who was present

Lina glanced around the room. “Should I start naming names of those who claimed they don’t need our company’s collaboration?”

Her tone was light and casual iter gaze remained gentle as she looked at them.
