Hadley swiftly retrieved her phone and switched it to silent mode.
“Perfect. Now we can proceed without distractions.”
The conversation with Lisa flowed seamlessly from topic to topic.
“Impressive work.” Lisa pressed her lips together in a satisfied expression, her features radiating approval despite the absence of an actual smile. “Your comprehension of the role runs remarkably deep.”
Joy flooded through Hadley’s entire being. “Thank you so much, Ms. Beckett.”
“Furthermore, your prose carries a haunting emotional resonance that matches my vision perfectly.”
Lisa drummed her fingers thoughtfully against the tablet’s surface, choosing her next words with deliberate care.
“I’m confident you’re capable of embodying this role flawlessly. Consequently…” She interlaced her fingers decisively. “I’ll reach out to Elvin immediately. Expect official notification soon and prepare for contract signing. The remaining sections of the script will be released once we’ve formalized our agreement.”
Could this really be happening? Had she actually secured the contract?
“Understood.” Hadley’s heart thundered against her ribcage with pure elation. “Thank you tremendously for the opportunity, Ms. Beckett. I’ll contact Mr. Webster.”
“Excellent.” Lisa’s mouth curved into an uncommonly warm and authentic smile.
“Ms. Beckett…” Hadley paused uncertainly. “Do you have other commitments this afternoon?”
She remained careful not to presume upon Lisa’s schedule, particularly since dinner was still hours away.
“I do.” Lisa rose gracefully, gathering her belongings. “I’ve promised to meet my husband shortly. Since we’ve concluded our business, I should take my leave. Sorry, dinner’s off the table this time.”
Her tone carried a playful undertone that suggested gentle teasing.

“Please don’t say that, Ms. Beckett.” Hadley’s laughter bubbled up naturally as she stood to escort her.
“Such formalities are unnecessary between us.” Lisa gestured dismissively. “I’ll be on my way now.”
“Alright.” Hadley nodded respectfully as she left. “Goodbye, Ms. Beckett.”
“Bye.”
As Lisa’s silhouette vanished into the crowd, Hadley pressed her fists together in triumph and whispered breathlessly, “Yes!”
This incredible news demanded immediate sharing with Elvin. She grabbed her phone and quickly dialed Elvin’s number.
“Mr. Webster! Thank goodness you answered!” Hadley’s grin stretched across her entire face. “Guess what? I just finished meeting with Ms. Beckett, and I have incredible news. I got the job!”
“Are you serious? You’re certain?”
“It’s completely true! I’m positive! Ms. Beckett promised that someone would contact you soon regarding the contract details!”
“That’s fantastic!” On the other end of the line, Elvin’s excitement nearly launched him from his chair.
