Scarlett's POV
+25 BONUS
When I finished my pitch, | felt embarrassed and shocked - | talked for 2 hours straight?! Standing
in the elevator, I can't help but to cover my face thinking about what just happened.
He smiled atwith an encouraging look, nodded along, and even asked ssimple questions,
so | totally lost track of time.
To think that I just took up the whole morning of a billionaire whose business was far more
important than my movie....
1 didn't know how to face Adrian Dunn at that moment, and when | looked up, he was smirking like a
mischievous fox, seeing through my thoughts again.
"Ughhh, I should probably..." | put away my iPad, pointing at the door, "Thank you very much for
hearingout!"
The fox let out a laugh.
"You don't even have tfor my decision?" Adrian Dunn curved his lips, his deep, shimmering eyes
taunting behind his thin rimless glasses, "Not that I'd hate it if you just chere for a passionate
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtchat..." "..." | totally forgot. Wasn't my pitch the whole point of the meeting?
But he didn't givea hard tafter that. Even right now standing in the elevator with his offer,
it still feel surreal to me.
1 got it? I just got my script bought...by one of the largest media tycoons?!!!
My day would have been perfect if the elevator door didn't open to the one person | didn't expect to see at the
Dunn Corp-
"If you are done smiling at yourself, can you stop wasting everyone's time?"
Ava Fuller.
Followed by a whole team of guards and her manager, Ava is standing by the elevator door with an impatient,
condescending look.
"What are you doing here?" | blurt out, more shocked than annoyed.
Ava is signed by Sebastian, nemesis of the Dunn Corp. And it doesn't look like she's here for spersonal
reason, given the team following her. The team Sebastian had hired for her. "Co- productions between media
companies is not forbidden. If you are looking to enter the business, then you might want to do your homework
better," Ava sneers atcoldly, +25 BONUS
stepping into the elevator and pressing close to me, forcingto step out-
I'm not allowed to have physical contact with "the princess". Apparently | pose sthreat to her life, somehow.
Normally Ava doesn't talk tomuch, but she is more aggressive today, holding the elevator door open with a
hand, and keeping on throwing shit at me:
"Can you believe an ugly duckling like this is trying to sleep her way into the movie business?" Ava tosses her
hair cockily, laughing with her manager.
Hesitating for a second, | decide to pretend | didn't hear her comment. Not like | had chere for an acting job
like she clearly assumed anyway. Seeing she's not leaving anytsoon, the people around scatters for the
other elevators. | turn to leave, too, only to hear Adrian's voice rising behind me-
"I'd praise God if that's what Miss Scarlett was here for, and it's a pity that her eyes are on something else."
What's he doing here? He seemed to have loads of work waiting when I left his office not ten minutes ago.
Ava's eyebrows instantly becvertical at her words, but she knows better than to fire at the head of Dunn
Corp. She finally lets go, and the elevator door shuts her glare inside.
"Thanks," | turn to Adrian Dunn, nodding at the elevator, "for that. | didn't know the Dunn Corp is offering her
projects-"
"I didn't know either," Adrian answers fast with a light frown, as if annoyed to be mentioned together with Ava,
"must be a mistake from one of my new hires."
He givesa slight, apology bow.
Okay...? | did not see that coming. | thought Ava was THE girl of every man's dreams in their
circle.
| step away to give way for him, but he stops by my side and then holds out a hand as if asking for a dance:
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Since you are still here... Would you like to have lunch with me?"
| hesitate. Not that | feel uncomfortable having lunch with him, just don't want to get too close to their circle- the
rich, powerful, unreasonable, scheming circle.
I'm known as a Fuller, but | know I don't have wealth or rich parents to supportif | mess
1. up.
But nor do | want to start my cooperation with the visibly dangerous and sophisticated fox on the
wrong
foot. I will be working for him for the next few months. Not to mention he just offereda dream
deal that I couldn't get anywhere else.
1 wish Adrian would take a hint at my hesitation, but he just waits patiently, with his blindingly

bright smile and his polite hand held out.
"She doesn't want to. Are you too blind to see that?"
1 didn't get to say anything before Sebastian's voice cut in from nowhere, his words so aggressive
that the smoke alarm should go off.
Did my almost-ex-husband just yell at my new boss???
