Laura Grant's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she had already expected something. The smile on her lips faded completely. "Director Grant, if you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Paul Grant sighed, his hand slowly tightening around his cup.
"I was hesitant before coming here, unsure if agreeing to meet was the right thing to do. Regarding our collaboration, I'm truly sorry…" Paul Grant's face was full of apology as he lowered his head slightly. "I'm very sorry, but I have to go back on my word. The female lead for my film has already been cast. I'm afraid I can no longer honor our agreement."
Naomi Kenway's gaze gradually turned cold, but she maintained the smile on her face. "May I ask why?"
"I'm very sorry." Paul Grant was clearly unwilling to answer.
