Sweet Subterfuge

The sudden pounding of her heart caused Larissa to look away. She forced herself to locus on the series on television.
The email Kevan tapped into was the proposal for the movie “Traveling Through Time” from the film production department.
“Traveling Through Time” was the newest novel published by Pluto last year, breaking the sales record for his previous work,
“Wormhole.” The various film adaptation rights had helped generate a lot of revenue for Microworks.
Unlike “Wormhole. Microworks directly got Pluto himself to be the screenwriter for “Traveling Through Time.” The movie’s script
was already completed, and they were going to start casting for the film.
Due to the explosive success of “Wormhole. Microworks treated “Traveling Through Time” very seriously to the point that
whenever the proposal for the movie was edited, they had to submit it to Kevan for him to review it in person so as to achieve the
results closest to perfection.
Distracted by Larissa, Kevan went through every line very slowly. But this did not stop him from nitpicking. Finding the contact
number of the general manager of the film production department on WhatsApp, he demanded, “Why is the expected screening
time for Traveling Through Time pushed back a year from the original proposal?
Based on the original proposal, it could take a year for the movie to be filmed and to go through post-production, which would
just so happen to allow it to be screened at Christmas next year. But the latest proposal showed that the screening time would be
during the year after next.
The general manager had already braced himsell for questioning, so he responded calmly. “Mr. Rogers, we recently got word
that Cosmic got some investment from Tinseltown and will be shooting Migration to Mars’ soon. If there are no unexpected
drawbacks, they might clash with our screening time. I’m sure you are aware of the appraisal of these two intellectual properties
in the industry. Migration to Mars’ will have an easier time becoming popular compared to “Traveling Through Time.” Our goal is
to surpass the fame we garnered with Wormhole,” but if we clash with Migration to Mars, I’m afraid that we will not meet our
goal.”
Ever since Bethany had been kidnapped, Kevan had been paying more attention to Cosmic than Microworks. If anything
happened to them he would know firsthand. It was not news to him that Xavier wanted to shoot “Migration to Mars.”
“No need to change the screening time.” A hint of mockery flashed through Kevan’s eyes. Although he did not know what caused
Fantasy Utopia to work with Cosmic, he was certain that they could not produce “Migration to Mars.” Even if Xavier somehow
managed to get enough investment to get the project in motion, it was hard to say how far he could go with this.

Mrs. Griffin went out for quite a while and only returned with some food when she got back in the evening.
“I bought these in the hospital cafeteria. Just make do with it, okay? The power is out for many places nearby, and it’s storming
hard out there. The restaurants have stopped operating, and the delivery services aren’t working either.”
She helped Larissa to set up the meal table and spoke to her while setting the table, “Your father called me earller and asked me
how you were.”
With all sorts of new developments that arose from the bad weather, Gary was a little worried as he was not staying with her at
the hospital.
“What did you say to him?” Larissa followed along with the conversation.
“I said that Kevan and I are here and that he could rest assured.” Mrs. Grillin Muttered her eyes at Larissa, a triumphant smile on
her lace.
Kevan’s hands jerked in the midst of opening his box of food. Gary was so guarded against him, one would think that Kevan was
a thief or something. Il Gary knew that he was here...
“Did Mr. Logan say anything?” he pretended to ask nonchalantly.
“He just said that he got it and hung up.” Mrs. Grillin was not familiar with Gary, so she could not sense the impending “hurricane”
in those three words of his.
Kevan was not afraid of Gary-but that was only limited to the business sector. As Gary had a hold on his weak spot, he had to
treat him
Randomly taking a low bites of his food. Kevan went outside to call Lewis.
Lewis already heard about him going to the hospital from Gary, so before Kevan could speak, he said, “I can help you hold my
uncle back. and stop him from going over to murder you, but in exchange, you have to help me out with something.”
