"Why are you bringing her up out of the blue?" Finnian snapped, suddenly turning his head. "Have you finished all your work?"


    Will was left speechless. Mr. Everly was known for his calm demeanor, rarely ever raising his voice like now, especially without provocation. So, Will was momentarily stunned.


    He realized he must have struck a nerve, but still felt he hadn''t done anything wrong. It seemed the issuey with Mr. Everly himself.


    "Mr. Everly."


    Despite the setback, Will wasn''t ready to back down. After a moment''s thought, he decided on a different approach. "Ms. Porter has a couple of scenes to shoot this morning. She''s working pretty hard. Maybe you should go check on her?"


    To see Liliana? Finnian''s dark gaze remained fixed on hisputer, though his mind had already drifted elsewhere.


    After a long pause, he stood up and uttered, "Get the car ready. We''re going to the set."


    A hint of a smile tugged at the corners of Will''s mouth, but he maintained hisposure. "Alright, I''ll go get the car."


    Half an hourter, Finnian found himself outside Liliana''s break room. He knocked on the door. Liliana opened it, her face lighting up upon seeing Finnian and she ushered him in. "Finn, you came to see me? Come on in."


    She poured him a ss of water, handing it to him with both hands. Finnian took a sip and ced it on the table.


    Sitting beside him, Liliana asked what brought him by, if he had already wrapped up his morning work and whatnot. Finnian rarely visited her spontaneously, so this was a pleasant surprise for Liliana.


    However, Finnian didn''t seem particrly enthusiastic. He engaged in small talk with Liliana, his expression slightly tense, frequently ncing towards the door as if distracted.


    Liliana gradually calmed down, sensing Finnian''s aloofness. What exactly was on his mind?


    A vague premonition crept into Liliana''s thoughts. Perhaps he was thinking about. She didn''t dare pursue that line of thought, finding it almost unimaginable.


    But minutes passed, and Finnian maintained his indifferent


    demeanor Growing anxious, Liliana bit her lip and said, "Finn, I''ve got to tell you something. I saw Keith heading into Amara''s break room just now."


    As expected, the mention of Amara caught Finnian''s attention. He turned to face her, asking, "When did he go in?"


    Liliana clenched her fists, replying nonchntly, "About half an hour ago. Once inside, Amara closed the door. No idea what they''re up to."


    Finnian''s eyes darkened almost immediately. He stood up. "I need to step out for a moment."


    "Finn," Liliana called after him, stepping in front of him. "You should really consider finalizing the divorce with Ms. Sullivan. Dragging it out like this isn''t doing anyone any good. I believe Ms. Sullivan isn''t a bad person, she deserves to find her own happiness. Letting her gémight be the best option."


    Liliana''s heart raced as she spoke, watching Finnian''s expression intently His handsome face


    l.ne


    remained impassive, showing no


    signs of displeasure. Liliana exhaled in relief, albeit quietly.


    "I''m heading out. You should rest up; you''ve still got scenes to shootter," Finnian said without giving Liliana a reply, sidestepping her and leaving the room.


    Finnian made his way across the set to Amara''s break room and knocked on the door.


    "Who is it?" Amara''s voice came from inside.
