?Chapter 1078:


    “Alright,” Eric said and flicked his wrist in a casual wave, amusement dancing in his tone. “Let me have a look at the details.”


    “Here you go.”


    Eric took the documents and skimmed through them with a practiced eye. “The credentials check out. Let’s set up a face-to-face meeting to iron out the details.”


    “Understood.”


    This week marked the end of Hadley’s scenes, officially wrapping up her time on set.


    Though she wasn’t the lead, Adonis held her in high regard, and because of her connection to Eric, whose breakup with her remained a secret to the public, the crew decided to throw a small celebration in honor of her departure from the set.


    Everyone gathered for lunch, and a celebratory cake was brought in. To top it off, Adonis stepped forward and handed her a bouquet of fresh flowers.


    “Hadley, I wish you nothing but sess and a bright future!”


    “Thank you,” Hadley replied with a graceful smile, epting the well-wishes without letting them settle in her thoughts.


    When it was time to leave, A walked her out.


    Unlike Hadley’s brief role, A had a much more prominent presence in the show as the third female lead.


    A sighed, looping her arm through Hadley’s as they walked. “I’m really going to miss you.”


    At the entrance, A nced around expectantly. “Isn’t Mr. Flynning to pick you up on a day like this?”


    Hadley paused for a beat, then shook her head. “He is noting.”


    “Oh.” A’s lips curved into a disappointed pout. “I was hoping to catch a glimpse of him. He hasn’t been to the set in a while. But you see him every night, right?”


    Hadley ignored the question.


    She could tell A was trying to use her as a bridge to get closer to Eric. However, A was bound to be disappointed.

    “You should head back. You have plenty of scenes to shoot today, don’t you?”


    Hadley didn’t feel the need to exin herself further. There was no need to share personal matters with someone she wasn’t close to. “There is no need to see me off. I’ll catch a ride myself,” she added.


    “Alright then,” A replied, releasing her arm and offering a quick wave before going back toward the set.


    Just as Hadley exhaled a quiet sigh of relief, her phone rang.


    It was Brady. He had earlier suggested a celebration and already booked a spot at Cozyroom.


    She stared at the screen for a beat but didn’t pick up. Looking up, she spotted his car parked just across the street.


    Brady stepped out with a smile and waved. “Hello, Hadley!”


    “I’ming!” Hadley called back, a smile tugging at her lips as she jogged over to him.


    Brady opened the car door for her. “Melba and Joy are already there. There is a kids’ y zone packed with activities, and Joy loves it. She will have a st and work up an appetite.”


    “Sounds perfect,” Hadley said with a warm smile. “You have really thought of everything.”


    “Of course!” Brady shed a broad grin, his teeth gleaming as they set off toward Cozyroom.
