Only after getting together with Casey did Izabella realize the true meaning of the text he posted on social media.
His words were filled with affection for her, Casey's way of liking someone was always cautious, but he was also straightforward about his feelings.
He liked Izabella more than she had imagined, but he wasn't so confident about it.
Even though they are now dating, Casey still feels insecure.
He's a big-time movie star with countless fans and many people's dream guy, but he's always tripping over his feet in front of Izabella.
Casey wanted Izabella to see all the good things in the world. He knew she loved sweets, so he collected famous desserts from all over the world, even hiring a top pastry chef.
Whenever he saw something interesting, he would buy it for Izabella, even if it was just ants moving on the ground, he couldn't resist taking a picture to show her.
Izabella finally started falling for the right guy and understood the true meaning of love, just like Casey, who wanted to share all the good things he encountered with her.
When the sun rises, he wonders if you're awake. When the sun sets, he wonders if you've rested. When he smells food, he wonders if you've eaten.
The world that was once empty, is now filled by this one person.
After Izabella posted the contract termination notice online, many companies were interested in her influence and offered high prices to sign her, but she turned them all down.
Therefore, a rumor started circulating online saying that Izabella was planning to leave the entertainment industry after filming "Blood Ties".
Izabella is currently focused on making money. She does have plans to leave the entertainment industry, but she would prefer to focus on film and television investments, acting is just a hobby for her.
She hasn't announced her departure from the entertainment industry yet because she still wants to act with Casey, so their fans can look forward to new clips.
About the "Izabella&Casey couple" topic, it was also something Izabella saw on Casey's phone because she noticed him always staring at his phone and giggling.
After the official wrap of "Blood Ties", Izabella started preparing for her next job, she had been planning her and Casey's first movie together, a horror film called Ghost Snatchers.
The film and television company Izabella invested in, originally started out with comedy dramas, the company is called Celestial Entertainment Enterprises.
They produced three comedy films in a row, but due to lack of funds and professionalism, the films were not well received, even being rated by the public as the weirdest comedy films in history, each one crossing the line, with no limit at all.
The nearly bankrupt company was saved by Izabella's investment of ten million.
For Celestial Entertainment Enterprises, the CEO of the Maple Group is their savior, and today they finally get to meet this benefactor.
The original team of Celestial Entertainment Enterprises has disbanded, not many people were willing to stay, after all, who wants to work hard in a small company that's about to go bankrupt?
Izabella was now sitting in a Japanese restaurant. The interior decoration was very delicate and elegant, the privacy of the private room was also very good, sitting opposite Izabella were two directors from "Celestial Entertainment Enterprises", Jerome and Randy.
The two directors often kept in touch with Izabella, reporting the progress of their work and scripts.
This was their first time meeting the executive director of the Maple Group, who generously bought their company and invested in a script.
When they got the horror script, they couldn't believe that a comedy team would be asked to shoot a horror film, it seemed to them, the investor was a bit crazy.
But when they started reading the script, they were attracted by the story in it, since they now have money to shoot, why not go for it? So they decided to go all out, treating this film as the last work of their career.
They prepared for two months, script, shooting location, contract, supporting roles were all almost ready, now only the male and female leads remain to be confirmed.
They came today, one to meet the investor, and two to confirm the lead roles.
They arrived early at the reserved private room, the waiting process made them feel restless, after all, the Maple Group is a huge company, and they easily acquired X Entertainment.
According to various rumors, this boss is like a ferocious tiger, they worry about offending him.
When they heard movement outside, they immediately stood up, seeing a waitress leading a woman in.
A woman?
She had a ponytail, was wearing a hat and mask, her body slim, they couldn't imagine this was the behind-the-scenes boss they've been texting with.
"Ms. Salotti?"
Izabella nodded.
They hastily made room for her, "Ms. Salotti, please sit here, would you like something to drink?"
"Water is fine."
Jerome immediately poured her a glass of water, his attitude respectful, while pouring water he was sizing her up, for some reason, he felt the this woman’s voice sounded familiar.
Izabella took off her hat and mask, her cold eyes slightly lifted, just in time to see their surprised faces.
"Surprised to see me?"
They shook their heads, then nodded, their eyes fixed on her, just like two ostriches.
Jerome and Randy were indeed stunned, they never thought the person who bought their company would be Izabella.
The only connection between Izabella and the CEO of the Maple Group was the same last name.
They've also started from the bottom and climbed their way up, seen all sorts of things. They might've been startled for a moment, but then they quickly recovered.
Izabella is the CEO of the Maple Group, which explains why X Entertainment was bought out without warning, and why Kristin got blacklisted.
They decided that they definitely couldn't afford to piss off Izabella.
Izabella didn't have time to guess what these two directors were thinking. She got straight down to business.
"Ms. Salotti, about the script..."
"Is there an issue with the script?"
"No problem." Jerome said, "We just want to meet the author, or the scriptwriter, to see if she has any suggestions."
"You just need to respect the original work and shoot it. Don't go making changes on your own."
