Chapter 393

When Calliope stepped into the private room of the club, a lively group was already gathered inside. As she pushed the door open, every head turned her way.

“Callie’s here!”

“You’re late, Callie!”

“The star of the show finally arrives! We’ve been waiting ages for you!”

Calliope flashed a grin as she made her way in. “Or maybe you all just showed up too early?”

“Time’s been tight for everyone, so this was the only moment we could all meet up.”

“Once the project gets rolling, we’ll all be free again,” someone chuckled.

“Come on, Callie, grab a seat over here!”

“Right this way, boss!”

“I’ve missed you! It’s been too long since we last collaborated. I’m thrilled we’re teaming up again!”

“This project is going to be a global sensation, no doubt!”

“I read the script and it’s absolutely brilliant. Callie, how do you come up with such genius ideas? What’s going on in that head of yours?”

“You’ve got a knack for everything!”

“But of course, it’s Calliope we’re talking about here, right?”

“She’s the queen, after all!”

“I’m just in love with this script, Callie!”

“So, have you thought about the cast yet? Got any actors in mind? Once we kick off this project, it’s going to be an instant hit. And with Callie personally involved, you know it’s going to be top-notch!”

“Zachary, any thoughts from your end?”

The room buzzed with chatter, excitement electrifying the air.

Zachary chuckled and said, “You guys are spot on! But yeah, picking the actors is tricky. It’s up to Callie, after all; she wrote the script and has a sharp eye for talent.”

“For the casting, let’s stick to the plan. Zachary, you can spread the word, and whoever’s interested can audition. Whether they’re big names or fresh faces, let’s see who turns up. Our core team will decide together, picking the best fit. I’ve got faith in us. We’re all on the same wavelength, that’s why we click!”

“Exactly! Callie’s right!”

“Sounds like a plan. In fact, we’ve already had a few folks reach out since the word got out.”

“True, with the famous director Zachary and scriptwriter ‘C’ involved, most applicants have been high-profile. Even those who aren’t top tier are quite renowned.”

“Newbies probably think they don’t stand a chance, so they’re holding back.”

Calliope nodded thoughtfully. “Let’s put it out there that we’re open to talented, suitable newcomers. Anyone interested can come and audition.”

“That’s a great idea!”

“The announcement will probably draw in a lot of fresh talent! I’m already excited about this!”

“Our team is truly something special.”

The room was buzzing with enthusiasm as Calliope engaged in discussions with everyone.

Mid-conversation, the door flung open, and suddenly, the lively chatter ceased. Every eye turned toward the entrance.

There, Valerian stood, pushing Horatio’s wheelchair, with Monty trailing behind.

But that wasn’t all. As the door swung wide, a throng of reporters behind them began snapping away furiously, the room lighting up with incessant flashes.
