Her intuition told her something wasn't right. Ariana looked around and didn't see Tyler anywhere.

She cast a callous stare at the stage supervisor. The latter broke out in a cold sweat from feeling unnerved. He then instantly and profusely apologized, "I'm sorry,

Ariana. I forgot to inform you and Tyler. I accidentally forgot that you both lived on the first floor."

“You sure it was an accident and not on purpose?" Ariana sneered. Of course she knew they did it on purpose. She could ignore an act like this once or twice. But thrice? Did they really think she was a pushover?

Ariana couldn't stand it anymore. Plus, the hormones coursing through her from the pregnancy destroyed any form of restraint on her temper. The pent-up rage she had was causing her heart to palpitate. Clenching her fists, she was on the edge of losing control.

But at that exact moment, two figures came through the restaurant's main door. It was Tyler and Francis. They were deep in conversation. Although no one could decipher what it was about, Francis was clearly filled with joy. What was even stranger was the fact that he was holding on to Tyler's shoulder in a friendly manner.

“Tyler, haven't you gone to the set?" As soon as they approached, Ariana stood up and cast a confused look in Tyler's direction.

Francis quickly uttered, "No, he didn't go there. I've taken him somewhere else to discuss the script. He's not only quite talented but a promising actor as well. I'm thinking of taking him under my wing to help develop his skills myself."

Everyone looked shocked, especially Cole who was clueless about Francis' plans.

He walked up to Francis and warned him in a muffled voice, "Mr. Salazar, what do you mean? Don't forget the agreement you've made with my aunt.

Pretending not to notice what Cole had just said, Francis patted Tyler warmly on the shoulder and said, "Since everyone's here, I have an announcement to make."

He then gestured with his eyes to the accompanying scriptwriter who quickly handed over a thick script.

Francis retrieved it, smiling at all those present.

"After a thorough discussion with the scriptwriter last night, I've decided that Tyler's role is not only charming but he also brings the role to life. Which is why we've decided to rewrite the script, adding additional lines and backstory to help set up Tyler's role, Gifford, as the most important supporting role.”

As it turned out, Francis and the scriptwriter were working on script revisions overnight, which caused the delay in filming.

This unexpected twist left Cole baffled.

He couldn't fathom why Francis had suddenly shifted his focus to Tyler while ignoring Cole.

Wasn't Francis concerned about upsetting his aunt?

Growing anxious, Cole objected, “This last-minute script alteration will impact many people. I believe we should discuss it as a group."

Francis, aware of Cole's thoughts, responded with a suggestive hint, "It won't affect you. I haven't modified your scenes; I've merely added a few between Gifford and the leading lady."
