In the hotel’s top-floor meeting room, Jayson rose to welcome everyone. The room was filled with
actors and actresses that the team had decided to collaborate with in the future.
He took the initiative to introduce everyone.

meetings.

“Where is your husband? How could he allow you, a pregnant woman with a mobility issue, to roam
around here?” ©
Embarrassed, Ariana found Mitchel’s straightforwardness unchanged.
Preferring not to discuss her personal affairs, she offered an excuse, “I just stepped out for some fresh
