Behind The Spotlight Chapter 79
After that short drama moment with Lawrence, Collin immediately resumed his duties as an agent without delay.
He contacted Ellie's agent, who was surprised to hear about the incident that had unfolded in the last day of the filming. The two agents met to discuss the potential fallout if this news ever became public and how it might affect their clients' reputations and future projects.
Thankfully, Ellie's agent, a woman in her 30s, was easy to talk to. Collin and the female agent agreed that this information must never reach the public or the media. Their clients would continue as if nothing had happened, maintaining their professional images.
Both sides were determined to resolve the issue quickly before it caused irreversible damage. The best solution was to sign a contract that would legally bind both parties to secrecy. A confidential agreement was drafted and notarized by their respective lawyers.
Ellie and Lawrence signed the contract to make it legally binding and to ensure that neither side would violate the terms.
In this situation, Ellie was technically in the wrong because she had concealed her relationship. However, Lawrence couldn't afford for this issue to go public either, not with his rising fame. So, he signed the agreement without further objections.
Ellie's agent later confronted her about the secret relationship with her childhood friend and the potential consequences for her career. However, Collin and Lawrence weren't privy to what happened next between Ellie and her team after that confrontation.
Lawrence's feelings for Ellie remained complicated, with mixed emotions surfacing now and then. But he was sure of one thing, he would never start a relationship with her again, no matter how often he reminisced about their time together.
