Chapter 201

"Why buy it? Was it your idea?" Maria frowned slightly. If James bought the movie because of her, that would be too irrational. Emotional decisions don’t cut it—this is a huge company, and making money has to come first. James had just set her down. As he turned, their faces ended up barely a fist apart, so close they could feel each other’s breath. Maria’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly turned her head and let out a soft breath. She was a little annoyed, but also kind of happy—feelings all tangled up, like ants crawling in her chest, itchily sweet. James glanced down and caught the flush on her cheeks. His lips curved up slightly, looking pretty damn pleased with himself. "It was Timothy’s call. He knows John Harris well—guy’s always picky. If he says the film’s solid, it must be. Big IP, well-known director, breakout lead actor with both skills and popularity. There’s no way it’ll flop. Timothy wouldn’t greenlight it without thinking it through." Hearing that eased Maria’s worry.
