Milly glanced at the contract brielly before she passed it to Jordan.
Though she understood some of the terms, she knew she wasn’t an expert. Reviewing contracts was Jordan’s forte.
Sure enough, after a quick scan, he noticed something was amiss. Jordan’s eyebrows furrowed, and he went straight to the point.
“Ms. Smith, I heard that you announced your retirement from the industry a year ago. What brings you back, specifically requesting to work with my sister? As far as I know, my family hasn’t had any dealings with you.”
Bonnie smiled calmly and replied, “Mr. Burnett, it’s understandable if you haven’t met me. To be honest, I’m here on behalf of someone else. I’m simply here to return a favour.”
“Returning a favour?” Jordan queried further.
“Yes,” Bonnie continued. “Initially, yes. But now, I genuinely feel a strong connection with Ms. Burnett. I hope she can sign along with me. I can’t guarantee everything, but winning the best actress award? That’s easily within reach,”
Best actress! Was she describing it as ‘casy?
That was a height so many people could only dream of reaching, yet she spoke of it as easy–peasy?
At this point, Jordan said no more. He cast a sharp glance at Bonnie, only looking away when she met his gaze with unwavering calm. He then returned his focus to the contract.
Jordan was smart enough to quickly deduce who Bonnie owed a favour to.
George could be the only one capable of convincing Bonnie to return a favour, draft such an unprofitable. contract, and swiftly act upon the Burnetts news. No one else possessed the necessary speed and efficiency besides him.
Indeed, what Bonnie offered was a significant opportunity for his sister’s career.
Jordan, on the other hand, didn’t want her to become too involved with the Tates.
Jordan asked, “Ms. Smith, may I know if you are still working for the Tate Group?”
Bonnie answered with a smile, “Yes and no.
“I’m still a nominal agent for the Tate Group because they value my reputation, but my contract with them ended a year ago. I’m now a free agent. My signing with Ms. Burnett is entirely personal
“Perhaps ‘signing‘ isn’t quite accurate. I’m not a talent agency. It’s more of a collaboration.”
Jordan nodded. Given her lack of direct ties to the Tates, a partnership could be considered acceptable. Bonnie was indeed a powerful ally.
“Ms. Smith, would you be interested in joining the Burnett Group? We can accommodate your salary and benefits according to your requirements. What do you think?”

Bonnie adjusted her glasses and smiled. She then politely declined, saying, “I have no plans to sign with any company at the moment.”
Jordan didn’t press the matter; he had anticipated her refusal.
It was worth trying, but her acceptance wasn’t crucial
“Ms. Burnett, do you have any other concerns?” Bonnie asked.
Since Jordan remained silent, Milly grinned a little and said, “No, I have no other concerns. I look forward to working with you.”
She took the contract from the table and swiftly signed her name.
With that, everything was settled.
Bonnie reviewed the contract one last time. After she made sure everything was correct, she put it away and gave Milly another document.
Now that we’ve signed, I’ll start calling you Milly like everyone else. I hope you i
don’t mind.”
Milly admired strong women, and Bonnie was no exception. Bonnie was powerful and impressive in her eyes, and she was fond of this woman.
After Bonnie’s persuasive talk, Milly looked at her with starry eyes, like she was an idol. Hearing her idol. call her by her nickname felt like a double–sweet hit.
Milly nodded eagerly and said, “Of course, Bonnie.”
“Milly, look into this reality show. I think it’s a wonderful fit for you,”
Milly took the script in shock, her admiration for Bonnie growing even more.
Bonnie was an outstanding manager. Even after leaving the industry, she still had access to excellent resources. This woman was impressive.
With Bonnie by her side, Milly felt she would effortlessly reach new heights in her career.
The admiration in her eyes was so evident that Bonnie couldn’t ignore it. She couldn’t help but chuckle.
“What are you thinking? This show is a friend’s project. It’s very innovative, so they’ve struggled to find. suitable guests. I got this a while ago and thought it was great. At least it’s a new attempt for our country. If it airs, it will definitely generate a lot of buzz.
“And since you recently became a trendy topic, it’s an ideal opportunity to solidify your public presence. Being in the spotlight is always beneficial.”
Milly opened the script and carefully examined its content. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. Just as Bonnie had mentioned, it was indeed a very novel variety show.
It was a reality–show version of ‘Untamed Horizons.
The contestants would find themselves in the wilderness or on an isolated island. They would rely on their knowledge and courage to survive without cameramen or crew assistance. Everything was captured by fixed cameras.

The show seemed straightforward but required a lot of preparation. There were concerns about nighttime. safety, survival skills, knowledge of flora and fauna, and the ability to handle any sudden emergency situation in the wilderness.
This required the artists to have extensive knowledge and a courageous, adventurous spirit.
No wonder it had been in preparation for so long; finding artists who met all these criteria was challenging.
However, this show was exactly what Milly loved–an adventure filled with the unknown.
“Bonnic, I’m in. Please coordinate with the director.”
Bonnie’s eyes twinkled with approval, and she said, “Good. I knew I was right about you.”
Meanwhile, Stephanie clenched her fists and glared at Milly and Bonnic.
She felt such intense unwillingness.
Why did Milly always get what she couldn’t do with ease? It wasn’t fair.
She thought that entering the Tates would give her an edge over Milly, but Bonnie’s choice to represent Milly made her recent provocations seem like a joke!
No, she couldn’t let anger take over. Anger wouldn’t solve anything: she needed to stay calm. There must be a way to turn the tables.
