Chapter 246 Everyone Has an Idea
When Abigail sat down, Luna handed over the booklet of themes.
She carefully read it.
Historical outfits were a trend every industry had jumped in on. Whether it was in movies, dramas, or
games, the companies liked to lure consumers in with historical and traditional outfits.
Of course, if there was a new idea, it might work.
With her mind made up, Abigail turned to ask the chubby man, “Your name is?”
He Just then, a young and handsome man who had been sitting next to the chubby man stood up.
grinned, showing off his white teeth, and said in an Eastbay accent, “Hello, beautiful. I’m Ronaldo
Fernandez, the boss of the studio. It’s quite a sight for someone your age to be this accomplished.”
Anthony chuckled, laughing over the fact that Abigail asked the wrong person. “You rarely come to
Pendorf, Mr. Fernandez. It’s normal for Abigail not to recognize you.”
She blushed and cleared her throat. “My apologies, Mr. Fernandez. Pleasant to meet you.”
Due to the slight mix–up, the tension in the room vanished as everyone lightened up.
“Tell me, what kind of theme would the audience like? I’m getting a headache just trying to pick one;
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteven then, we don’t have any in mind.” Ronaldo put aside all formalities and said in a casual voice as
his accent became heavier.
Even Abigail had to smile, forgetting about the embarrassment she felt.
“You should stop speaking in your local slang, Mr. Fernandez. Otherwise, the ladies don’t understand
you at all,” Anthony teased.
“I can understand a little.” She chimed in. “I think the Western Roman Empire’s invasion is a good
topic. You just need to slightly adjust when you broadcast your show.”
Anthony’s smile deepened, and his eyes flashed as he instantly understood what she meant. As
expected, he was right to come to Abigail, who always had a great idea to turn something rotten into a
miracle.
Ronaldo immediately rejected the idea. “Nah! Our audiences won’t be interested in something that
obscure. Most of the outfits around the era can be so easily mixed up that people will only get a
headache.”
“Let me finish,” she said gently.
“Go on, missy.” While Ronaldo disagreed with the idea, he still respected her as the expert in her
field.
She took a sip of her coffee and slowly stated, “By the end of the year, Director Lewis‘ Troubled Times
would have been released. The show will be set in the time of the Western Roman Empire’s invasion,
focusing on historically accurate costumes. If you broadcast the show then, you will be able to ride the
hype wave.”
He wrinkled his nose in thought.
She did not rush him.
Her idea was to anticipate what would be coming out in the future. If she was not doing this to return
Anthony’s favor, she would have rejected the invitation.
“Man, historical dramas and films always flop. I ain’t gonna risk it. There’s nothing wrong with just
following the mainstream trends.” In the end, Ronaldo decided not to risk it.
“Lewis Francis‘ shows are very reputable, sir,” the chubby man whispered.
Ronaldo glanced at Anthony. “What do you think?”
“I think she has the right idea. We can first announce that we’ll be working with her. In September, we’ll
release a teaser clip to show off some of our outfits. Once the show is released, we can broadcast our
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshow at the same time,” Anthony said with a polite smile.
“You’re an artist, so you must have a better eye for beauty than I do. Since Mr. Booker agrees with you,
we’ll go with your idea.” Ronaldo was eventually persuaded to go with the idea.
Once the contract was signed, Abigail sent her assistant to book a table at the nearby restaurant so
that she could treat Ronaldo and the rest to a meal.
Being a good host or hostess was an important quality in the eyes of those from Eastbay. Hence, it
would be extremely rude not to treat the guests to a meal when discussing business.
As Anthony headed to the restaurant with her, he softly explained, “Forgive Mr. Fernandez. He started
as a local businessman, so he’s not that great with business talk. He also has a poor sense of
boundaries.“
“He has an interesting way of speaking, don’t you think so? We don’t have to be stern and polite when
discussing business. He’s also easy to talk to. I find it more comfortable to talk to him compared to
those who are always polite.” It was a response that was being considerate to Anthony.
Since Ronaldo was Anthony’s guest, no matter how uneasy she felt around him, she always made it
sound more positive for Anthony’s sake.
“You plan on borrowing the costumes from Director Lewis, don’t you?” Anthony asked in a guessing
tone, swiftly changing the topic.
