Before Wendy could respond. Mr. Brooks immediately recognized her. “Ah, so you’re Hannah’s daughter. I should’ve known
Wendy smiled brightly “Yes, that’s right, Mr. Brooks, I’m so glad you remember!”
After all, Hannah was well–respected in the entertainment industry, having won numerous awards. People were always willing to show her a lande
extra courtesy
Mr. Brooks smiled in return. “It’s great to see you’re at luonstead University. What are you studying?”
Wendy proudly responded, “I’m in the acting department”
Mr. Brooks nodded approvingly. Very impressive. If Hannals is such a great actress, her daughter must be just as talented. If the chance arises, we should collaborate in the future?
The people around them couldn’t help bou feel a twinge of envy. Wendy was barely into her first year and already catching the director’s eye- opportunities like that didn’t come to just anyone.
Wendy smiled, savoring the admiring glances. “Of course, I’d love to collaborate in the future”
She then turned to Bryson. “I would be an honor to collaborate with the crew someday”
Bryson smiled politely and remained silent. He wasn’t one to make empty promises preferring to stay understated.
‘s connections, but they didn’t comment further.
The professors who had been quietly observing recognized Wendy’s connec
Wendy glanced at the nearby seats and suggested, “There’s a table over there. If you don’t mind, feel free to join us
As they entered the cafeteria, the crew was still looking for a place to sit. Since Wendy was Hannah’s daughter, it was clear she’d likely make her way imo the entertainment industry. She could probably secure plenty of sponsorships and investments. Given these connections, why wouldn’t Mr. Brooks take the opportunity to show Wendy a little favor?
“Sure, let’s sit over there. Mr. Thompson, would you join us?”
Bryson gave a neutral response. “It’s up to you”
Hearing the invitation, Willow and the others quickly cleared their plates, smiling as they waited for the crew to join them.
Ehana and Stella exchanged looks as they watched the group
phead toward their table.
Stella whispered. “Eli, this Wendy knows how to flatter–who knows if she’s being genuine or just pretending!”
Whatever her intentions, this lunchtime scene would undoubtedly spread around the school. Wendy’s bold move had achieved its desired effect.
“Alright”
As Eliana and Stella were about to leave. Bryson spotted them. He recognized Eliana’s figure and was about to call out, but seeing their direction, he paused and decided against it
Just as they reached the cafeteria doors, Roman entered, arriving at the perfect moment.
Seeing them about to leave, he called out, “Eliana, are you finished?”
Roman looked into the cafeteria. “Mr. Thompson’s here today. Did you see him?”
Eliana nodded. “Yes, I saw them. They’re caling inside.”
Roman smiled. “Perfect timing Let’s go over and say hello“
Elana hesitated. “Is it okay“”
There are so many people from the crew”
Roman chuckled. “What’s the problem! Mr. Thompson mentioned you to me last time we played chess. He asked why he hadn’t seen you in the park lately. It’s the perfect time to chat with him. The casting is done for today, and who knows when you’ll see him at school again. Let’s go.”
Stella was surprised when she heard Roman’s words. She hadn’t realized Eliana knew Bryson so well.

“Eh, you kept your composure. Wendy s
Come on, hurry up! Say hello to Mr. Thompson, take the edge off Wendy’s confidence, and see if she’s still so smug!”
Elana just stared.
Eliana was reluctant. She knew Bryson, but they weren’t close enough for her to feel comfortable approaching him so casually
She was about to let it go
it go, but then, by chance, she ran into Roman
Roman smiled. “Come on. I’ve got your back
Stella gave Elana a gentle push. “Keep up.”
Reluctantly, Eliana smiled and followed Roman toward the crew.
Everyone had already taken their seats by the time they reached the table. Wendy eagerly asked. “Mr. Brooks, are the leads finalized? Can you tell us who got the roles? I’m dying to know!”
Mr. Brooks smiled. The leads were decided a while ago. We’re here for the supporting roles. Mr. Thompson himself chose the male lead.”
Wendy turned to Bryson, her eyes wide with curiosity. “Mr. Brooks, who did you pick for the male lead?”
Bryson answered, expressionless, “Roman
Willow, sitting next to Wendy, looked knowingly at the mention of Roman. In Willow’s memories from her previous life, Roman had made his debut in martial arts films and instantly rose to fame.
Ever since her rebirth, Willow has noticed subtle differences, especially with Eliana. The events involving Eliana seem to have changed drastically. with Eliana cleverly avoiding every attempt Willow makes to manipulate things. Each failed scheme left Willow questioning her certainty about

But now, with Roman starring in a martial arts film, Willow finally understood that, while small details had shifted in Eliana’s life, the more significant forces of destiny remained unchanged. The major turning points of their lives were still unfolding, just as she remembered.
Roman’s role in Moonlit River became an overnight sensation, securing his future as a three–time Oscar–winning actor.
As Willow was pondering this, Roman walked into the room. She looked up, her eyes catching his tall figure as he approached. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she said, “Roman, you’re here”
Everyone turned their heads at her words. Mr. Brooks, spotting Roman, smiled and said. “Roman’s here, our leading man.”
Willow felt a surge of pride. After all, she was destined to marry Roman, the future film emperor. The more successful he became, the more envy she would inspire.
But before her smile could fully bloom, something unexpected happened. Roman wasn’t walking alone. He held Eliana’s wrist, and they walked toward the group together.
Willow’s expression froze in shock, her heart pounding with confusion.
Roman walked over and, without acknowledging anyone else, greeted Mr. Brooks
oks and Bryson first. “Mr. Brooks, Mr. Thompson,” he said smoothly.
Bryson smiled and glanced at Roman before gazing at Eliana, standing by his side. With a teasing tone, he said, “Eliana, why haven’t I walking your dog in the park lately?”
I seen you
Willow’s mind raced. She thought. ‘Bryson knew Eliana?
The rest of the crew seemed unfazed, but Wendy and the others were utterly taken aback.
