Over the next few days, Emma was a whirlwind of activity, joyfully nning the wedding. She took Liliana for makeup trials and wedding dress fittings, and then to tasting menus and venue bookings, busying herself endlessly.


    Of course, people were curious why Emma was apanying Liliana to all these appointments instead of Finnian, the groom-to-be.


    Liliana addressed this by releasing a statement, exining that Finnian was too busy with work to join her and had asked his mother to go with her instead.


    Upon seeing the news, people feigned understanding, praising Finnian as a good man and Emma as a wonderful mother-inw. Privately, however, their thoughts were quite different.


    Rumors had long circted about Finnian''s feelings for Amara, especially since he had risked his life to save her multiple times. Yet, they had never gotten together, leaving everyone to specte about who he truly loved.


    Many believed that Amara was the one he truly loved, and he was being forced to marry Liliana for other reasons.


    Liliana had heard some of these whispers, and they infuriated her. She secretly vowed to go through with the wedding and make Finnian fall in love with her. One day, they would appear in public as a loving couple and prove all the doubters wrong.


    Meanwhile, there was some good news. Editing for *Whispers of Winter* had begun, and the asional teasers that were released were generating a lot of buzz, suggesting the show would be a huge hit when it aired.


    At the same time, *Letters from Yesterday* was also preparing for its premiere. One day, Mr. Frost asked to meet Amara at a coffee shop to discuss the plot, so she tidied up and went.


    Mr. Frost was in his early thirties, tall and thin with long hair and somewhat androgynous features. But his personality was nothing like his subdued appearance.


    It wouldn''t be quite right to call him cheerful, as he often drifted into deep thought on set, ignoring anyone who tried to talk to him, and was prone to sudden fits of temper.


    But it wasn''t right to call him gloomy either. When he was in a good mood, he was incredibly warm and generous with his friends and actors often treating the entire crew to meals and showing everyone equal respect.


    Overall, Mr. Frost was a man of unpredictable moods, sometimes so entric that it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.


    Yet this director with the hard-to-pin-down personality was known as a maverick in


    the industry and had be one of the most sought-after directors in recent years.


    He often tackled niche or


    controversial subjects that others


    shied away from, yet he consistently managed to turn these niche


    projects into the hit shows of the season, earning rave reviews and single-handedly poprizing entire genres for years toe?


    There were many good directors, but few like Barry who could breathe life into a forgotten subject.


    His remarkable sess at such a young age was why so many called him a genius.


    When Amara arrived at the coffee shop, Mr. Frost was already waiting at a window seat. He spotted her and waved excitedly.


    “Amara, over here! I''ve read your new script revisions, and they''re brilliant! But there''s one part where I have a different idea. Come listen to what I''m thinking."


    It was no wonder people called him entric. He didn''t even bother with


    pleasantries, just pulled her down into the seat across from him and immediatelyunched into his ideas.


    He gestured wildly as he spoke,


    setting his face alight with


    passionate


    ment. Other


    patrons were already staring to give


    them strange looks.


    As a normal person, Amara was initially a bit embarrassed, feeling like she wanted


    the ground to swallow her whole.
