Chapter 1135
Cornelia’s move left everyone on the backfoot, but Maja had to admit that it had paid off. Cornelia’s online
popularity had skyrocketed, putting her on par with top–tier Hollywood actresses.
With a slight sigh, she waved her hand dismissively.
“You’ve worked hard filming abroad, Cornelia. Take a couple of days off I’ll have Elvis arrange a new script for you”
Cornelia nodded and respectfully exited the room.
After she left, Maja massaged her temples, only to be interrupted by Zoey’s entrance. Her injury was healing, and
she had just been discharged from the hospital
“Mr. Pennyfeather” Zoey began. “we’re meeting with Director Drew tonight. He hasn’t disclosed who the other
investor is, but he said we’ll find out when we get there. Also, he hasn’t revealed our involvement to the other
investor”
The project they were considering was a major movie! Initially, only one company was set to invest, but Maja had
used her mentor’s influence to secure half of the investment opportunity
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe script was too good to pass up and the project was estimated to cost around $30 million, with Maja and the
other investor splitting the cost
However, the other investor was likely less than thrilled about her involvement, if it wasn’t for her intervention, they
could’ve secured the entire investment and reaped ten times the profit
Maja had been working tirelessly over the past two weeks to expand her company. Some of the partners that had
been poached were slowly returning. and the company’s operations were now stable
Maja nodded. “Alright, we’ll meet him at seven tonight”
Zoey knew Maja was worned about Cornelia Cornelia had chosen to walk a risky path, intentionally leaking her
controversial photo to the media.
But that path was a tough one. Facing constant criticism, a single misstep could lead to depression and worse.
Just like Antonio’s ex, who had committed suicide overseas, a tragedy that went unreported.
“Mr Pennyfeather, Zoey said, “1 saw determination in Cornelia’s eyes. She’s not a child, and she’s willing to take
responsibility for her actions. You shouldn’t feel guilty
Maja was indeed worried about Cornelia’s mental state.
Now that Cornelia was an overnight sensation, Maja needed Elvis to quickly develop a plan for her future roles.
Cornelia’s path was extreme, and if her next role wasn’t striking enough, it would be impossible to clear her image.
At seven that evening, Zoey accompanied Maja to the meeting.
Dressed in her usual business attire, Maja arrived early, with Director Drew and the other investor yet to arrive.
A few minutes later, Director Drew arrived. He wasn’t late Maja was just early.
“Director Drew”
Maja rose to her feet, greeting him with a smile
Director Drew, a 40–year–old who had directed several major national events, was a globally recognized director
This was his first movie in two years, and Maja had read the script. It was magnificent and grand, and with the right
investment, the box office revenue would start at $400 million.
While Maja and Director Drew were deep in conversation, the door swung open and Maja heard a man’s voice.
“Sorry, Im a few minutes late”
Maja stiffened, surprised flickering in her eyes
She looked up to find lan standing at the door, with a frail–looking Judith at his side
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJudith had fully recovered, and it was said that lan had been by her side throughout her hospital stay
Director Drew was clearly very enthusiastic about lans arrival, standing up immediately
“Mr. Raymond, its been a while
Director Drew had chosen lan because they had known each other for a long time, long before the Raymond
Corporation had ventured into the entertainment industry
lan smiled at him and shook his hand.
“Director Drew, it’s been a while
Director Drew cast a curious look at Judith “And who might this be?”
“I’m Judith, lañs–girlfriend *
When Maja heard this, her grip on her teacup tightened
Director Drew chuckled lightly “Please, have a seal You two make handsome couple. Let me introduce you to the
other investor, Misa Maja. She’s the CEO of Star Movie Group”
Maja rose to her feet, nodding at lan “Hello, Mr Raymond*
She then turned to Judith. “Hello, Ms Sanders”
Her tone was polite, her face unreadable.
