Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 74

Ivan pondered for a moment, then tucked the contract away, "I'm cool with this, but I won't be able to assign you a dedicated agent. I'll fill in for now, handling your shoot for the next three months. During this time, I'll be arranging your gigs and if you run into any hitches, you gotta let me know ASAP."

Agnes responded, "Deal."

After signing the contract again, Ivan said, "Tonight we're have a meal with the director and the scriptwriter. We need to get to know each other a bit before we start work in three days."

Agnes nodded, "But can you help me find a place to stay... I'm homeless right now."

Ivan replied, "According to our deal with Lakeside College, it's not time to sort your dorm yet. I'll find you a temporary spot; you can crash there for a bit."

Agnes agreed. She didn't have spare money for living expenses and had to rely on others. She figured she'd pay him back for the accommodation once she started making some money from acting.

Agnes spent the entire day reading the script in Ivan's office.

At noon, she grabbed a meal at the Century Building cafeteria. In the afternoon, Jared rang her up, but Agnes didn't pick up. In the evening, Agnes rode with Ivan to The Simon's. The room was spacious and comfy.

The director, scriptwriter, producer, and other key members started showing up. When director Zoe saw Agnes, it was as if he'd found a rare gem.

During dinner, Agnes curiously asked Zoe, "Out of all the girls in town, why did you pick me?"

A slightly tipsy Zoe laughed and replied, "Because the character Sylvia in the script is a bit of an airhead. The moment you barged into the meeting room, looking confused, I thought, 'She's it. She's Sylvia.' That dorky vibe you gave off was perfect."
