Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 188

"Y'all keep rehearsing, I'll handle the wardrobe situation."

With that, Agnes took off.

"Agnes, where are you headed?" Kerri hollered after her.

Agnes beelined for Century Entertainment.

She had already given Ivan a ring previously.

So she faced no hurdles on her way up and went straight to the CEO's office.

Ivan's secretary, Faye, recognized Agnes: "The boss is in a meeting, just chill here for a bit."

After waiting less than five minutes in the office, Ivan made his return.

"This is the first time you've reached out since we wrapped up the TV series," Ivan said, entering with a gentle expression and steady stride.

Agnes stood up immediately: "Mr. Bartley, there's a favor I need to ask."

"Jared is my friend, and you're his wife. Please call me Ivan."

Agnes hesitated slightly: "Ivan."

"What do you need?"

Agnes spilled the beans about her university drama performance.

"You've got clout in the industry. I was thinking maybe you could hit up a production crew for some props for us."

"That's a piece of cake. Century Entertainment has its own prop warehouse. I'll take you there later, pick whatever you need."

Agnes breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Thanks, Ivan."

"But I do have a question. Your dad could've easily sorted this out too. Why did you come to me?"

"My dad's been swamped lately. All the stuff with Starlight International Group has been handed off to my stepmom, so..."

In recent years, Preston Pritchard has been dealing solely with investments, leaving all matters of Starlight International Group to Laura.

For Agnes, asking Laura for help was a bigger hassle than turning to Ivan.

Ivan immediately got the picture and didn't probe further.

Ivan changed the subject: "Since I did you a solid, don't you owe me one?"
