Milly glanced at the contract brielly before she passed it to Jordan.
Though she understood some of the terms, she knew she wasnât an expert. Reviewing contracts was Jordanâs forte.
Sure enough, after a quick scan, he noticed something was amiss. Jordanâs eyebrows furrowed, and he went straight to the point.
âMs. Smith, I heard that you announced your retirement from the industry a year ago. What brings you back, specifically requesting to work with my sister? As far as I know, my family hasnât had any dealings with you.â
Bonnie smiled calmly and replied, âMr. Burnett, itâs understandable if you havenât met me. To be honest, Iâm here on behalf of someone else. Iâm simply here to return a favour.â
âReturning a favour?â Jordan queried further.
âYes,â Bonnie continued. âInitially, yes. But now, I genuinely feel a strong connection with Ms. Burnett. I hope she can sign along with me. I canât guarantee everything, but winning the best actress award? Thatâs easily within reach,â
Best actress! Was she describing it as âcasy?
That was a height so many people could only dream of reaching, yet she spoke of it as easyâpeasy?
At this point, Jordan said no more. He cast a sharp glance at Bonnie, only looking away when she met his gaze with unwavering calm. He then returned his focus to the contract.
Jordan was smart enough to quickly deduce who Bonnie owed a favour to.
George could be the only one capable of convincing Bonnie to return a favour, draft such an unprofitable. contract, and swiftly act upon the Burnetts news. No one else possessed the necessary speed and efficiency besides him.
Indeed, what Bonnie offered was a significant opportunity for his sisterâs career.
Jordan, on the other hand, didnât want her to become too involved with the Tates.
Jordan asked, âMs. Smith, may I know if you are still working for the Tate Group?â
Bonnie answered with a smile, âYes and no.
âIâm still a nominal agent for the Tate Group because they value my reputation, but my contract with them ended a year ago. Iâm now a free agent. My signing with Ms. Burnett is entirely personal
âPerhaps âsigningâ isnât quite accurate. Iâm not a talent agency. Itâs more of a collaboration.â
Jordan nodded. Given her lack of direct ties to the Tates, a partnership could be considered acceptable. Bonnie was indeed a powerful ally.
âMs. Smith, would you be interested in joining the Burnett Group? We can accommodate your salary and benefits according to your requirements. What do you think?â

Bonnie adjusted her glasses and smiled. She then politely declined, saying, âI have no plans to sign with any company at the moment.â
Jordan didnât press the matter; he had anticipated her refusal.
It was worth trying, but her acceptance wasnât crucial
âMs. Burnett, do you have any other concerns?â Bonnie asked.
Since Jordan remained silent, Milly grinned a little and said, âNo, I have no other concerns. I look forward to working with you.â
She took the contract from the table and swiftly signed her name.
With that, everything was settled.
Bonnie reviewed the contract one last time. After she made sure everything was correct, she put it away and gave Milly another document.
Now that weâve signed, Iâll start calling you Milly like everyone else. I hope you i
donât mind.â
Milly admired strong women, and Bonnie was no exception. Bonnie was powerful and impressive in her eyes, and she was fond of this woman.
After Bonnieâs persuasive talk, Milly looked at her with starry eyes, like she was an idol. Hearing her idol. call her by her nickname felt like a doubleâsweet hit.
Milly nodded eagerly and said, âOf course, Bonnie.â
âMilly, look into this reality show. I think itâs a wonderful fit for you,â
Milly took the script in shock, her admiration for Bonnie growing even more.
Bonnie was an outstanding manager. Even after leaving the industry, she still had access to excellent resources. This woman was impressive.
With Bonnie by her side, Milly felt she would effortlessly reach new heights in her career.
The admiration in her eyes was so evident that Bonnie couldnât ignore it. She couldnât help but chuckle.
âWhat are you thinking? This show is a friendâs project. Itâs very innovative, so theyâve struggled to find. suitable guests. I got this a while ago and thought it was great. At least itâs a new attempt for our country. If it airs, it will definitely generate a lot of buzz.
âAnd since you recently became a trendy topic, itâs an ideal opportunity to solidify your public presence. Being in the spotlight is always beneficial.â
Milly opened the script and carefully examined its content. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. Just as Bonnie had mentioned, it was indeed a very novel variety show.
It was a realityâshow version of âUntamed Horizons.
The contestants would find themselves in the wilderness or on an isolated island. They would rely on their knowledge and courage to survive without cameramen or crew assistance. Everything was captured by fixed cameras.

The show seemed straightforward but required a lot of preparation. There were concerns about nighttime. safety, survival skills, knowledge of flora and fauna, and the ability to handle any sudden emergency situation in the wilderness.
This required the artists to have extensive knowledge and a courageous, adventurous spirit.
No wonder it had been in preparation for so long; finding artists who met all these criteria was challenging.
However, this show was exactly what Milly lovedâan adventure filled with the unknown.
âBonnic, Iâm in. Please coordinate with the director.â
Bonnieâs eyes twinkled with approval, and she said, âGood. I knew I was right about you.â
Meanwhile, Stephanie clenched her fists and glared at Milly and Bonnic.
She felt such intense unwillingness.
Why did Milly always get what she couldnât do with ease? It wasnât fair.
She thought that entering the Tates would give her an edge over Milly, but Bonnieâs choice to represent Milly made her recent provocations seem like a joke!
No, she couldnât let anger take over. Anger wouldnât solve anything: she needed to stay calm. There must be a way to turn the tables.
