Upon turning to Hadley, the crew member's tone softened with concern. “What happened? Your makeup... it's
going to need a touch-up.”

“I'm fine, really,” Ayla reassured her with a rueful smile. “Go on. | can handle myself.”

“Will do. Don’t fret,” Ayla said, waving her off.
The crew member flashed a polite smile at Eric. “Mr. Scott, please, excuse us.”
Hadley followed the crew member, leaving the scene behind as the air grew still, with only Eric and Ayla
remaining.

“Got it,” Eric said, his tone measured. “What if | arranged for you to join Hadley’s current project? Would you be
interested?”
Ayla froze, her eyes widening at the unexpected offer.
