Donn gave Jack a once-over and nodded.

“Actually, we're on the hunt for a spokesperson for Lewis Group's new luxury building venture. He might just fit the bill."

Karina's eyes sparkled.

"Is that so? We'd Love the opportunity to work with you."

“We can discuss that over Lunch," Donn suggested, flashing a grin “Have you had anything to eat?"

“No. We came in a hurry," Karina answered

“In that case, why not let your actor start filming? Meanwhile, we can find somewhere to eat and talk business," he proposed with a smile "Sounds Like a plan."

No objections from her end. She signaled for Jack to get to work

Jack, however, looked a bit uneasy.

"You're going to dine with him?

Just the two of you?"

Understanding his concern, Karina assured him, “Don't worry, it's all good."

Jack Looked like he wanted to add something but held his tongue. Just then, a call from the director interrupted the moment.

“Jack, they're ready for you."

“He's on his way," said Karina, nudging Jack to get moving.

“Keep your phone on, okay? And call me if you need anything," Jack told her as a parting reminder

“I promise," Karina assured him, watching as he walked toward the set. Donn's eyes lingered on her for a moment too long, the corners of his mouth twitching upward in a way that made her skin crawl just a little.

“Shall we, Karina?"

“Of course."

She shook off the uneasy feeling and climbed into the car with Donn. As they hit the road, another car zipped past them. It was a taxi

Inside that taxi was Barlow, eyes closed and leaning against the window, completely unaware that he had just crossed paths with Donn's vehicle.

“We're coming up on South Bay Village." The driver nudged Barlow back to reality.
