Chapter 1184:
“Just accept the compliments,” Dunn said calmly. “You deserve them. There’s no need to be so humble p>
“I had no idea Margo was capable of doing something like this,” Annabel murmured as she read the article. She had just confirmed the story with Margo’s agent so the company’s PR team could keep Margo’s name trending and maintain her momentum.
A knock sounded at the door.
“Come in,” Annabel said.
Rory stepped inside and nodded politely.
“What’s up?” Annabel asked, surprised. She hadn’t expected Rory to come by.
“My agent told me to choose a few scripts for my next role, and I was hoping to get your opinion,” Rory said. As he spoke, his gaze stayed fixed on Annabel.

“The series will be a youth idol drama,” Annabel continued, explaining her plan. “With Margo’s recent surge in popularity, this kind of project is perfect right now p>
As Annabel laid it out, she noticed the hesitation on Rory’s face. “Is there a problem p>
Rory snapped back to himself. In a low voice, he asked, “Can you choose someone else as the male lead? I p>
