The result from Kaius's quick phone hang-up was immediate. At the Blair mansion, Luna Marry's face wrinkled into deep lines as she stared at her silent phone. Lena, watching from across the room, could read the situation perfectly. The coldness in Kaius's response was becoming a pattern. One that cut her to the core. Her eyes filled with tears that spilled down her cheeks like a broken water pipe. "Maybe I'm just not enough for him," she sobbed, her voice shaking. "He won't even give me a chance." Luna Marry passed her a tissue and rubbed gentle circles on her back. "Maybe DreamPulse Media dropping you isn't the end of the world. You could start your own production company. Create your own roles, cast yourself however you like." She paused, choosing her words carefully.
