Pearl felt Winona's angry stare and responded with her usual calmness. "Got a problem? You seemupset. Do you want to see the surveillance video?"
The mere mention of that rattled Winona. "No, just wondering when we can get back to shooting,"she quickly said, trying to steer away from the topic.novelbin
Pearl covered her mouth in surprise. "Oh, the high-and-mighty Miss Jesselton is now eager to pushthings forward?"
Her tone dripped with sarcasm, but despite Winona's irritation, she had no comeback.
Pearl shifted from teasing to action, signaling the crew to resume work.
Winona, under the watchful eyes of Pearl and James, didn't dare to cause any trouble and focusedon her scenes, finishing without incident before quickly leaving to avoid the awkward situation.
Meanwhile, Estrella and Rosalie did well. Showing their professionalism, they wrapped up theirparts swiftly, leaving Pearl, Esther, and James as the last ones on set.
James looked down at the silly-looking Esther and smiled. "Let's go. I'll treat you to a meal."
But Esther had already made plans with Pearl and clung to her. "But I have a date with Pearl. Ipromised to treat her."
James didn't even frown. "Then let's go together," he responded, showing his desire to spend timewith Esther.
Pearl, ready to excuse herself but caught by Esther's hopeful look, agreed to join, turning their duointo a trio for the evening.
They ended up at a Jenovian restaurant nearby. During the meal, James revealed his reason forvisiting: he had found a way to prevent their company from being sued.
"I got some clues during my investigation."
His casual tone emphasized his confidence, which prompted Esther to ask, "How did theinvestigation go?"
James sipped from a teacup. "Nothing much. I just know we can stop them from suing."
Esther widened her eyes. "Really?"
"Yeah, you can tell your dad to manage the company like he used to."
Esther was astounded. James hadn't communicated with Sanders Group, yet he managed toresolve everything perfectly.
Although she didn't doubt James's work capabilities, she found the situation amazing beyondwords.
