Meanwhile, Richard had been showing up at Starlight Entertainment and going on about all the details of the collaboration ever since Celia had mentioned the possibility of working together. Celia couldn't take it anymore, so she threw in the towel and agreed to everything. Richard then returned home."How did it go, Richard? Did you seal the deal on the collaboration?" Sophie and Chester inquired as soon as he got home.Richard thought it would be funny to play a prank on them, so he put on a long face and didn't give them a straight answer.Sophie and Chester immediately jumped to conclusions and thought Celia had refused to collaborate with them. Chester walked up to Richard, gave him a pat on the shoulder, and said encouragingly, "It's alright, son. It's not the end of the world. There'll always be other opportunities. We'll just have to give it our all next time." Richard was laughing his head off on the inside because he had already closed the deal. He was just messing

Meanwhile, Morgan's drama shooting had just wrapped. The crew bought her a bouquet and took a picture with her to commemorate the occasion. Morgan and Emma were chatting among themselves and were about to leave when the director and the assistant director walked over.The director's clothes were wrinkled, and it obviously hadn't seen the inside of a washing machine in days, but he didn't seem to mind. "Morgan, are you busy?" he asked. Morgan was puzzled. "No, not really. What's up?"The director cleared his throat. "Oh, nothing much. We were planning to have a wrap party since we've finished filming. Care to join us?" He was a little nervous. After all, Morgan was a star, and her time was valuable. He couldn't force her if she had something to do and couldn't attend. Still, it was just a pity since everyone had been working together for so long but had never eaten together at a nice restaurant. The boxed lunches didn't count.Morgan couldn't decide on her own. "Would it b

Morgan also realized it was inappropriate to break down in public. Fortunately, Richard wasn't there. She took a moment to gather herself and decided to stop crying.Emma handed her a wet tissue. "Here, wipe your face. You look like a little raccoon."Morgan pulled out a small mirror from her bag and looked at herself. Then, she winced at her reflection.She was tucked away in a corner, facing a wall, and Emma was blocking the other side. So, she could touch up her makeup in peace.She wiped her face clean with the wet tissue before applying light makeup. Then, she straightened her hair and turned to Emma. "Do I look presentable, Emma?"Emma nodded in satisfaction. "As long as you don't sniff, you're fine."The wrap party lasted until 10:00 pm. Morgan and Emma left from the back after everyone else had almost left.Morgan noticed Zach standing by the door as soon as she stepped out.Puzzled, she asked, "Are you waiting for someone, Mr. West? Everyone has almost left."He

"Alright! Let's do this together. For our future, let's give it our all!""Let's give it our all!"Richard was delighted to see Morgan being so optimistic. After all, it was rare to find a woman who would choose to strive and struggle on her own. Morgan's tenacity was truly remarkable.Moreover, if Morgan had given up easily, that would mean there really wouldn't be a future for them. Richard was well aware of how clever Chester and Sophie could be. As he was inexperienced himself, he couldn't fully protect Morgan.Richard figured he would have to put these future worries aside for now. What he needed to do now was work hard for his future with Morgan.Morgan pulled out a wet tissue and wiped her face clean. Richard helped as well.Morgan wiped away her smudged makeup and just let it be. Richard was different from others. She could face him all the same, without a trace of makeup.While Richard and Morgan were talking about their future, the driver and Emma tried hard to make

After saying that, Celia hung up.On the other end, Quinn felt very displeased. After all, it was her party, and she had personally called Celia to invite her. Quinn felt that Celia had snubbed her by refusing to attend.Quinn thought about it for a moment. If Celia didn't come, Yardley probably wouldn't either. If both of them didn't show up, it would be embarrassing for Quinn.So, she decided to go and find Celia.…Morgan was taking refuge at Celia's place, so she answered the door when Quinn came over."I'm here to see Celia."Celia had instructed Morgan to turn away anyone she didn't recognize, no matter who it was. Hence, Morgan said, "Celia isn't seeing anyone today. Please come back another time."To Morgan's surprise, her words ignited the anger that Quinn had been suppressing in her heart. The two quickly started arguing.Celia listened to their argument from her room. She regretted asking Morgan to handle Quinn. She had expected that Quinn would come looking for her
