The next morning, Xylia arrived at Pinnacle Media Group thirty minutes early.
Not because she had to.
But because she wanted to.
The lobby looked different today. Less intimidating and overwhelming. Perhaps because she now had a clear goal.
Assistant Producer. No special treatment or executive privileges. No shortcuts. Just work.
Exactly what she wanted.
As she stepped out of the elevator, she noticed several employees greeting her nervously.
"Good morning, Miss Antonov."
"Good morning."
The man immediately looked relieved as if he had survived a dangerous encounter.
Xylia sighed. This again.
Being Aciel De Silva's fiancée had somehow transformed ordinary greetings into high-risk activities.
She entered the Production Department and immediately noticed the difference from the executive floors.
The atmosphere was busy. Phones ringing. Writers discussing scripts. Editors reviewing footage. Producers rushing between meetings.
