Hollywood: Lights, Ink, Entertainment!

Gwendolyn crossed her arms, clearly unconvinced. "And do you even have a script? A team? And what about funds?"

Regal nodded. "I have got the script. The team will come. As for the funds... this check will do."

Maggie chimed in, skepticism etched on her face. "You do realize how risky that is, right? Movies aren't exactly a guaranteed success. In fact, you might ruin your reputation."

"I know." Regal said firmly, then paused. "But ....I love cinema."

The room stilled, and for a moment, Regal seemed like an entirely different person.

His always casual eyes were lit up when he spoke the word cinema, as if it embodied everything he cared about.

Gwendolyn, who had always seen him as detached and unflappable, found herself caught off guard by his rawness and passion.

She had assumed his nonchalant reaction to the book's success was just part of who he was, a man who didn't get fazed by much.

But now?

Now she saw someone who genuinely loved what he was talking about.

It was jarring.
