\u201cA month at most,\u201d Magnus replied. \u201cIn the meantime, we can fan the flames behind the scenes, promote a new young singer. Once Leopold feels the pressure, he\u2019ll come running to Gale Entertainment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood. You\u2019ve proven to be a valuable asset,\u201d Damon said, pleased with the news. \u201cWhat\u2019s the latest on Starlight Media?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius sat silently on the sofa, his legs crossed. Though he didn\u2019t speak, Magnus could tell he was keenly interested in the situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of my sources there told me that Larissa brought in some outside help a few days ago. They haven\u2019t officially joined the company, and they even use codenames. The strange thing is, Larissa seems to trust them completely. My source sent me their photos, and I ran a check on my way back. They\u2019re nobodies.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just a desperate move,\u201d Damon scoffed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cExactly what I was thinking. She\u2019s probably just trying to keep morale up. A few nameless faces are nothing to worry about. The only real problem is\u2026\u201d Magnus paused for a moment. \u201cLarissa somehow managed to persuade the famous director Gustave to come out of retirement.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the mention of that name, Benedict, himself a director, frowned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was the one name he never wanted to hear. In his two\u2013decade\u2013long career, his achievements still paled in comparison to what Gustave had accomplished in less than ten years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGustave?\u201d Damon asked, surprised. \u201cAre you sure?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Magnus nodded. \u201cI\u2019m positive. My source said Gustave has already met with Larissa.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere the hell does this woman get her connections? How could she convince even Gustave to return to the industry for her?\u201d Damon seethed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had thought that poaching Benedict would be a devastating blow to Larissa. But in less than a week, she had brought in Gustave.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This complicated things for Damon. In terms of accolades, Gustave\u2019s five films had earned him more prestige than all of Benedict\u2019s work combined. There was a saying in the industry: If Gustave hadn\u2019t retired, Benedict would always be number two.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had already spent a fortune to get Benedict; he couldn\u2019t possibly try to poach Gustave as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that thought, Damon glanced at Benedict, who was sitting beside him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Magnus, ever the diplomat, chimed in, \u201cDamon, I don\u2019t think we need to worry too much about Gustave. He\u2019s been out of the game for three years. His talent has probably faded. For all we know, the \u2018illness\u2018 was just an excuse. Compared to Benedict, he\u2019s surely fallen far behind by now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Benedict remained silent, his gaze fixed on Lucius across from him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the disastrous rights sale meeting, Damon wasn\u2019t taking any chances. He knew what he was\u00a0<\/p>\n

about to say would annoy Benedict, but he said it anyway, \u201cTo be safe, I want you to find an opportunity to speak with Gustave. Persuade him to drop \u2018Heaven\u2019s Will\u2018. If necessary, use Mr. Lincoln\u2019s name to put some pressure on him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Magnus glanced at Benedict\u2019s sour expression, but seeing no objection from Lucius, he nodded. \u201cOf course, Damon. I\u2019ll start looking for Gustave\u2019s contact information right away.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Magnus left, Damon offered his reassurance. \u201cMr. Lincoln, rest assured. At this critical juncture, I doubt any director would dare to cross you for Larissa\u2019s sake.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
