After a moment of silence, Neil replied softly, “We’ll talk about it next time.”

“What do you mean ‘talk about it next time’?” Zephyr’s deep voice sounded.

“Cordelia asked you to do it, you do it now! What kind of man are you to stall it?”

Neil was rendered speechless, complaining in his mind, ‘Yes, you’re high and mighty. You’re a manly man!

‘Didn’t you get the meal preparation company people over just because your wife wanted an in-flight meal in the middle of the night!?’

Neil rolled his eyes back at Zephyr and snorted.

“I need to go to class at the film school. I’m taking my leave now!”

“Hey, you…” Zephyr had yet to finish, but Neil had already started walking.

Cordelia smiled helplessly.

“Don’t worry, darling. His visa’s prolonged,” Zephyr said softly.

“What?” Cordelia was stunned. “How did you know?”

A certain Mr. Zephyr Hamerton was triumphant. “I got it done!”

“So, he has more time to consider if he wants to help Aurelia now?”

Zephyr nodded with a smile.

Cordelia did not even get to compliment him for being efficient when Neil called.

“Cordelia, what’s going on? My agent told me to stay in Chaiseland for two more months!?”

“Uh… yeah.”

The award-winning actor’s voice cracked. “My visa’s only for a month, but it’s changed to three months now!? Three months of not being in Centrolis with no work and exposure. Do you know what consequences that’ll bring?”
