Just as luck would have it, Ynda was also at the office that morning. Her agent had lined up two script meetings for her to sign contracts.


    The two women met in the parking lot, and Lizetta couldn''t help but ask as soon as she hopped into Ynda''s car, a grin on her face.


    "Did everything go smoothly? How are the scripts? And hey, how are things with your agent? If you two aren''t meshing well, you gotta let me know, okay?"


    She was already thinking about finding Ynda a new agent.


    Ynda''s agent was Amy from Madden Media, a top-notch agent known for her efficiency and knack fornding roles.


    She had quickly found Ynda two roles, but upon review, Ynda felt they weren''t quite right for her.


    One was a lead role in a romantic drama, and the other was a secondary role in a fantasy series.


    Both were high-budget productions, which spoke volumes of Amy''s ability given Ynda''s current standing in the industry.


    However, the lead role felt like a token part added just to passwork scrutiny, leaving Ynda less than impressed after reading the script.


    As for the fantasy series, not only did it ovep with a previous role that had gained Ynda some recognition, but it also risked typecasting her.


    The character was described as a stunningly beautiful, yet cold and distant beauty — a stark contrast to Ynda''s sweet, girl-next-door looks.


    Ynda declined both roles, and Amy didn''t make a fuss, instead suggesting they attend a dinner with a renowned director to discuss another part.


    Considering Ynda wasn''t keen on Amy''s recent suggestions, she felt obliged to ept the invitation.


    But she didn''t want to burden Lizetta with this, especially since Lizetta had already done so much for her.


    Lizetta''s stepmother currently ran Madden Media, and Ynda had her reservations about her.


    She didn''t want Lizetta asking favors from that woman on her behalf.


    "It''s all good, really. Remember, I''ve got a top-tier contract with Madden Media.


    I''ve got plenty of freedom, so don''t worry," Ynda reassured her.


    Hearing this, Lizetta felt a bit more at ease.


    "Just make sure to let me know if anythinges up, okay?"


    "Will do, will do."


    Their blind date was set at a cozy, private diner known for its intimate setting and Western-style garden design.


    They arrived a bit early, and their date hadn''t shown up yet.


    Ynda was makeup-free, prompting Lizetta to nudge her towards at least applying some light makeup. Ynda headed

    Left alone by the window, Lizetta pulled out her phone to kill time and noticed an


    unread WhatsApp message from Remington.


    It was another photo.


    Opening it, she saw his familiar office space. Remington was apparently having a simple lunch alone at his desk.


    The table was set with a modest but nutritious meal, and across from him, a teddy bear sat quietly.


    The image was tinged with a sense of loneliness.


    "Just me and it," the caption read.


    A smile tugged at Lizetta''s lips as she was about to reply, when suddenly, a charming male voice interrupted.


    "Sorry I''mte. I wonder, would this rose have the honor of making amends to Ms. Ynda?"


    As the man spoke, a rose, dew still fresh on its petals, was presented before Lizetta.


    Startled, she looked up from her phone to see the man standing beside her.
