Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 444

Rayna used the mirror Ella passed to her to study her features. She thought her facial features were not bad, but people with faces like hers were a dime a dozen in the entertainment industry.

She uttered in resignation, “I have so many things to do. How can I just do that? Let me take a look again.”

Moreover, she was not interested in becoming an actress.

Ella glanced at her watch and sighed. “Ms. Garland, it’s almost afternoon. You’ve already gone through the details of these celebrities, but you’ve picked none of them. It’ll be too late for me to look for other celebrities. Ms. Garland, you have to think this through properly. If you’re not going to step in, we’ll have to find another female lead and director after tonight. Also, it’s not a guarantee that we’ll find them. I’m sure we’ll have to pay them an even higher price.”

Rayna pursed her lips.

She knew that her assistant was right. Among the directors, she had picked Wilson. She might not find someone like him and within her budget.

After a few minutes of contemplation, Rayna steeled herself and said, “Fine. I’ll do it.”

“Ms. Garland, I’m glad you’ve come to this understanding,” Ella said in relief. “Don’t worry. I’ll keep an eye on the company, and I’ll call you if anything urgent pops up. I swear I won’t let you down.”

Rayna smiled. “I’m glad to have a dedicated assistant like you. I’ll give you a raise later on.”

“Why, thank you, then, Ms. Garland.”

“It’s what you deserve. Book the ticket and inform Wilson and the actor to head to Summerbank on time tomorrow.”

“Got it. I’ll work on that right away.”

After settling the most urgent matter, Rayna continued dealing with the rest of the documents. She wanted to clear off the most time-sensitive issues.

Right as she took a break and drank a few sips of water, her phone rang.

Seeing that it was from Linda, Rayna put it on speakers and asked, “Mom, what’s the matter?”

“I thought you’ve forgotten about me.”

Rayna nearly snorted at that. “Why would I? I’m just a little busy right now.”

“You silently went abroad to work before this, and after a few months, you’re finally back, but you’re still working.
