L, who had just taken a few steps forward, paused slightly.
Magi Pictures was part of Morgan Group. Although Morgan Group''s entertainment subsidiary was not extensive, Magi Pictures had steadily developed.
The investment Zara mentioned was likely for the drama "Heart of rity", which was considered a significant piece of intellectual property.
Over the past few years, Dorian had gained some fame, and L believed he needed to be more cautious about his reputation. Transitioning to new roles couldn''t be done overnight. His principal work still revolved around acting, and she had meticulously selected his scripts.
After learning about "Heart of rity", she contacted Magi Pictures two months ago. Still, given the prominence of such a significant IP, they would prioritize their in-house actors.
Although Dorian had appeared in many films since his debut, he had never tackled a political drama, making "Heart of rity" the most suitable project to expand his repertoire.
After contemting for a day, she decided to contact Kieran for help.
She still remembered that day vividly. When she approached him, he was dealing with work in his study.
As she entered, he looked up and raised his brows slightly in surprise. The soft light entuated his handsome features and the subtle smile on his lips.
His handsomeness was unparalleled. At that moment, L recognized this but didn''t have the time to admire the beauty before her. Biting her lip, she hesitated before voicing her purpose.
After he listened to her request, his gaze settled quietly on her downcast eyes, and his gentle smile faded slightly.
She felt anxious. She suddenly realized she shouldn''t havee.
Kieran thrived in business thanks to his exceptional intelligence and capability. He was known for his disdain for nepotism, which led many tobel him cold and heartless.
However, she believed that his approach was the fairest; those with great ability should indeed rise to the top. After all, throughout history, capable rulers had always tried to give opportunities to those from humble backgrounds.
They needed a fair chance to letpetent individuals showcase their talents.
L clenched her fists before slowly releasing them. She realized she had been naive by putting him in a difficult position.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard Kieran''s calm, melodic voice reach her ears.
His words were low and gentle. "L, I''ll do it if you want me to."
His promise left her feeling a little dazed. Standing there, she even forgot to thank him.
Seeing this, he lowered his gaze before looking up again. "It''s gettingte. You should rest."
She nodded absent-mindedly, her thoughts in disarray. His words had been strange, and his tone even stranger.
After pondering for a long time, she still couldn''t understand what he meant. As various events piled up, she eventually forgot about this matter altogether.
Later, when she received an invitation from Magi Pictures, she paid even less attention to it.
Looking back now, she wondered if Kieran, an outsider, had already realized that Dorian was no longer worth her effort. At the time, he seemed unsure how to express it, so he could only promise her with an almost sigh-like tone.
Presently, what should have been Dorian''s opportunity to thrive was being pulled back by Magi Pictures.
Regardless of whether Kieran had acted on her behalf, L felt happy. In a way, this meant she hadn''t pushed him to break his principles for her.
Behind her, Zara was nearly in tears. "Magi Pictures said they have a new candidate for the role in ''Heart of rity'' and are no longer considering us."
She felt a deep sense of loss, especially since she had just taken on the role of Dorian''s assistant. A significant coboration opportunity had slipped away at such a time.
Dorian''s expression darkened, and his tone turned sharp. "We were already in talks with them, so how could they suddenly decide not to cooperate? Isn''t this something you were speaking to them about? What did you say?"
