He didn’t expect Ava Sterling to suddenly agree; he had prepared a lot to say. Ava Sterling continued, "But, I have conditions." Silas Donovan immediately sat upright, fully attentive, with a solemn look, "Please, Miss Sterling." Ava Sterling looked at Silas Donovan, "If we’re going to shoot, we need to do it well. Don’t rush it for any reason, or hurry production; I want quality, not speed." Silas immediately nodded, "Got it! Completely got it!" "Also, I’m very busy, as you know. I can’t follow your schedule; you’ll have to follow mine. Can you agree to that?" Silas Donovan promptly puffed out his chest and assured, "I agree! Absolutely agree!" "Don’t cause problems, any problems. What was agreed at the start must remain unchanged; don’t suddenly want to change things when shooting. I hate that the most; do you understand?" Silas Donovan quickly said, "Got it! People should keep their word; trust is key. However, it’s inevitable for unexpected situations to occur during filming. These can be understood, right?" Not waiting for Ava Sterling’s response, Silas Donovan added swiftly, "Rest assured, it’s totally reasonable!" "I can assure you of that!" Ava Sterling understood what Silas Donovan meant, that accidents are sometimes unavoidable, but said, "I’ll have my assistant list these out in the contract." "Everything should prioritize my requests." Ava Sterling said, "I’ll be reasonable, don’t worry." "Okay! As long as what you say makes sense, I’ll listen to you, everyone will!" Silas Donovan was quite enthusiastic, seeming to be willing to do anything as long as Ava Sterling agreed. "Then, bring the contract; I don’t have much time right now as I need to train new models for the runway. My body also needs time to recover." "It’ll probably take another half a month." "After these fifteen days, I should be ready to start filming." Silas Donovan’s eyes widened, constantly gleaming. Because Ava Sterling was going to sign the contract. Ava Sterling finished speaking and saw Silas Donovan didn’t react; she frowned, "Say something." "Oh oh! I brought the contract, but it might need to be revised based on your opinions." Speaking, Silas Donovan then pulled out his phone, directly opened it, and showed the contract to Ava Sterling, but Ava Sterling pushed it away, "Show it to Lauren and Eric. I don’t want to see it." "I’ll convey my thoughts to them, and they’ll communicate the detailed issues with you." "This way you won’t be so worn out. Rest assured, I’ll send the contract to Eric and Lauren right away." Silas Donovan was a highly action-oriented person, quickly sending the contract to Eric and Lauren’s phones. He was very afraid, like Lauren had mentioned to him, that Ava Sterling would backtrack. So, it must be finalized quickly. As Silas Donovan got busy, Ava Sterling continued, "During the time I’m recovering and teaching, arrange for a teacher for me or tell me how to act and perform." This was the most important thing. "Okay, wait for me half an hour, I’ll talk to you in half an hour." Silas Donovan said while holding his phone without raising his head, and after speaking, he directly took out his phone to make a call. Completely not caring about Ava Sterling anymore. Ava Sterling sat there, looking at Silas Donovan, fully immersed in his work, frowned slightly, but said nothing. This person has the demeanor of a big director, but also seems to be a bit like a neurotic major director. "Hey, Eric, are you there?" "Let’s discuss the contract." "Ah, yes, I’ve already talked with Miss Sterling." Not sure what Eric said on the other end, Silas Donovan glanced at Ava Sterling and responded while handing the phone to Ava Sterling, "Eric wants to speak with you." Ava Sterling took the phone directly, "Eric." "Alright, talk to Lauren about the contract specifics. How to write it, once Lauren finishes, I’ll have a lawyer look over it." "Great, I have something to do now, let’s leave it at that." The call quickly ended, Ava Sterling said, "I’ll discuss the specific terms of the contract with Lauren; you can leave now." Handing the phone back to Silas Donovan, Ava Sterling began to ask him to leave. Silas Donovan was taken aback. At this moment, the door was knocked, Ava Sterling said, "Come in." Quickly, the door opened, Lauren Howell came in carrying a thermal container, "Ava, lunch is here." She was full of delight, relaxed, because this meal was brought by Sister Wei, whose attitude was much better than yesterday. To be precise, she didn’t speak to Sister Wei yesterday, but today she did, and Sister Wei was particularly friendly. Lauren Howell felt confident that yesterday’s matter was really not a problem. Ava Sterling got up, directly took the thermal container for lunch. Lauren Howell quickly followed her to set out the lunch, while Silas Donovan stood there, seeing Lauren Howell, his eyes lit up, quickly approached, and grabbed Lauren Howell, "Miss Howell, let’s discuss the contract details now." Lauren Howell paused, then quickly looked at Ava Sterling, eyes wide open, "Ava, going to sign the contract?" "Mm, you guys eat first, we’ll talk contract details after lunch." The two spoke in unison, Ava Sterling paused and looked at Silas Donovan. Lauren Howell also looked at Silas Donovan. Silas Donovan said, "I’m not hungry, I want to discuss it now!" Lauren Howell, seeing Silas Donovan so eager and impatient, understood his meaning and said, "Alright, let’s finalize the contract matter first." "I had a late breakfast, so I’m not hungry either." Ava Sterling said, "I need to eat." Lauren Howell didn’t understand Ava Sterling’s words, but quickly, Silas Donovan said, "No worries, I’ll discuss and add the details Miss Sterling just mentioned." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel-fire.net Ava Sterling said, "Then you guys discuss." Silas Donovan said and then pulled Lauren Howell over, directly sat on the sofa, and opened the contract on his phone to start talking to Lauren Howell. Because Silas Donovan was overly persistent about getting it done quickly, Ava Sterling’s meal was interrupted. Answering questions while eating a bite of food. So much so that Ava Sterling’s meal extended until nearly the end of lunch break before Silas Donovan left. Lauren Howell wiped her forehead’s sweat, saying, "Director Donovan is too persistent." Lauren Howell seemed overwhelmed. Ava Sterling’s expression wasn’t great either; indeed, this person was not typically persistent, but it also proved, indirectly, that he was indeed a good director, a major director. Ava Sterling packed up the things and directly sat on the sofa to rest, thinking about various matters. Childbirth, work, filming. Her plans need reworking. Lauren Howell saw Ava Sterling looking exhausted, wanted to ask if she needed a break but checked the time and thought Ava Sterling likely wouldn’t have time for a break. Because class was about to start in ten minutes. She decided not to disturb Ava Sterling, so she quietly left, not wanting to bother her. Quickly, the dressing room became silent. Ava Sterling didn’t mind that Lauren Howell left, her thoughts continuously racing like clockwork. Filming isn’t something just done casually; doing a good job isn’t easy either. Her priority now is learning performance, doing well in this task. Get this done first, then consider having a child, and meanwhile, work must also be done well. This is her current thinking. In a flash, Ava Sterling opened her eyes, her eyes sharp. Just then, her phone rang. Ava Sterling picked up the phone; class was about to start in five minutes. She directly picked up her bag, got up from the dressing room, her whole being energized, and full of momentum. Since she promised, she’ll do it well, Ava Sterling is absolutely capable! But as Ava Sterling entered the elevator and exited it, she suddenly felt she might have forgotten something? Ava Sterling thought carefully, couldn’t recall, but before she could remember, she was already at the training room. Oh well, she decided not to think about it anymore. If it truly matters, she’ll remember later. Quickly, Ava Sterling put down her bag and fully immersed herself in class time. And at this moment, at Celestial Holdings.
