It would take three days to announce the results after the bidding process.

However, the results were already obvious to those present. The official representatives were clearly more interested in the proposals submitted by the Kaufmann Group and the Monaghan Group, but they were unable to make a decision right away.
As they left the venue, Freya heard someone muttering.
“Ugh. I knew this would happen. But still, it was worth a try.”
“Yeah, how much money can one make from renovating the old city? The government would always be willing to invest in such projects!”
Hearing that, Freya pursed her lips slightly.
She had only been standing in front of the door for a few seconds when Radley came up from behind and stopped beside her.
“Miss Kaufmann, who do you think will win the bid between our companies?”
Freya glanced at him. “I have faith in the Kaufmann Group’s ability.”
Radley’s lips twitched for a moment at her sharp response. Her tough demeanor made it hard for people to look away.
“I think so too. Let’s wait and see.”
Radley walked away.
Freya stood there, feeling a little confused. She turned to Ayden and grumbled, “Was he trying to provoke me on purpose? So annoying!”
At this, Ayden said nothing.
In reality, it looked more like he was trying to start a conversation. But for Radley, the CEO of the Monaghan Group, to initiate a conversation with her? That was unlikely…
The bid results would be made public in three days. The Kaufmann Group was busy with preparations, and Freya generously granted everyone a day off, rotating between two departments.
In the midst of this, she received an important phone call and immediately drove to Caltun Movie Studio.
Located in the suburbs, Caltun Movie Studio was one of the largest movie studios in the country.
From the moment she entered, she noticed a variety of shooting locations and lots of people in period- appropriate costumes, ranging from ancient to modern times.
She also saw someone in armor drinking water by the roadside.
However, she didn’t run into any celebrities. The movie studio was vast, and the roads were complex. Freya had to ask several times before she slowly drove to a large open yard.
The open yard was filled with ancient-style buildings, with eaves of various heights and the flames in the wall torches dancing as if she had suddenly traveled through time.

After Freya’s car entered the yard, a nearby RV’s window popped open.
“Was that Freya who just came in? Danna lowered the car window.
The assistant beside her said, “I think so, Miss Danna, but I’m not sure.”
What TV sh
“What TV show is going on next door?” Danna frowned.
“It’s Moonlit Journey,” said the assistant quietly.
Moonlit Journey!
Danna pondered for a long moment, her face becoming serious.
“I remember now! The male lead for ‘Moonlit Journey’ is Ryan, right?”
“Right.”
“Let’s go take a look!”
Danna narrowed her eyes. Freya coming to the set must mean that she wasn’t just here to see anyone unimportant.

It’s true that the Kaufmann Group is currently investing in Moonlit Journey, but she’s from the headquarters, so why is she here? I’m sure she’s not here for some insignificant reason. She must have come to see the director, Ben McCarthy, or the male lead, Ryan Marshall!
When she was previously dropped as the female lead, she stated online that the decision was made by the investors. Everything was going well, but then Freya, that b*tch, posted on Twitter.
In fact, Ryan had a group of friends come out to support Freya. That was when Danna thought that Freya and Ryan had a special relationship.
In the entertainment industry, men who were famous enjoyed interacting with wealthy women! They weren’t any better than female celebrities, and they might even be more shameless!
Danna cursed internally, donned a face mask, sunglasses, and a hat, and entered the set of ‘Moonlit Journey quietly.
When Freya arrived on set, Ben was in the middle of filming an important scene. She walked quietly behind him, noticing how intently he was looking at the camera.
“Mr. McCarthy.”
In shock, Ben turned to look at Freya. “Miss Kaufmann.
Ben vaguely remembered that when Freya first started live streaming, no one knew who she was. At that time, he also wanted Freya, who was hardworking, to be the female lead in ‘Moonlit Journey. Unfortunately, she replied flatly that she was not interested.
Now he knew why she wasn’t interested, as she was now the financier for the TV show.
“Hi” Freya smiled.
Ben looked at Freys As a director, his first thought upon seeing someone was what role they would be best sumed to play Freya was stunning, even more so than in her live stream
However, Ben knew Freya was the daughter of a wealthy family, and someone like that was unlikely to be
an actress
He said in a flat voice. “Miss Kaufmann, are you here for an inspection?”
As the financier. It was only natural that the Kaufmann Group sent a few people to supervise the shoot every day. Moreover, Freya herself was in charge of this production. When they weren’t supervising before. Ben was free to shoot as he pleased. Now that Freya had come, he didn’t seem to mind either.
Freya shook her head and sat in the chair next to Ben, watching the scene being filmed on the camera.
The male lead was dressed in a costume and wielded a sword, displaying his skill.
Ryan took his craft seriously, whereas the other actors appeared to be playing games. When it came to his acting, he had vigor.
“I’m here to visit someone at work.”
Freya pointed at Ryan. “Him.”
Ben was a little taken aback, but he didn’t give it much thought.
“Ryan will be free after we finish filming this scene. Miss Kaufmann, you may have to wait a while.”
While waiting. Freya chatted with Ben mostly about ‘Moonlit Journey, and Ben’s expression gradually brightened.
“You must have read ‘Moonlit Journey: Miss Kaufmann! I can see that you have a special grasp of the characters. In fact, you’ve cleared up many of my doubts!”
Hearing that, Freya smiled.
Shortly after, Ryan finished filming and approached them. “Freya, are you in a hurry?”
“I’m not.”
Freya stood up and followed Ryan, chatting and laughing all the way. The crew cast a gossipy glance at
them. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Ryan has been famous for a very long time, but he’s never had a girlfriend. Could that be-”
“He just patted Miss Kaufmann’s head intimately, it must be true!”
Everyone cast gossipy glances at Freya and Ryan as they entered his RV.
“Isn’t Ryan a germaphobe? I heard that no one is allowed in his RV except himself and his assistant, who is also the driver!”
“That’s right, the last time he was filming a modern TV show, a female actress wanted to enter his RV, and he nearly threw her out!”
Amidst the gossip, not far behind a fake banyan tree, Danna was holding her phone.
With a sinister smile, she said, “I knew it. Freya is definitely here for Ryan!”
Danna’s assistant pulled her carefully. “You’ve finished shooting, Miss Danna. Let’s go back or we’ll get caught!”
“No, I need pictures as solid proof!”
In Ryan’s RV, Freya sat casually in the back seat, leaning against it.
“You insisted that I come here. What’s up?”
“I only have three days left in Caltun, and “Moonlit Journey’ is going to the prairie for location shooting the day after tomorrow. I won’t be back for a few monilis.”
Ryan took out a box from a huge bag next to him and handed it to Freya.
“Here’s a birthday gift I prepared in advance.”
Freya took the box and jokingly said, “It’s not sincere enough. You made me come all the way here for the gift”
Ryan laughed heartily and patted her head, “Take a look. Do you like it?”
Freya put the box into her own bag and pouted. “Not now, I’ll open it on my birthday!”
