Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 377 I Only Have a Year



"Okay."

James turned to look at the person next to him. He gave an order in Glorian, "Go get the doctor."

Then, he spoke to Violeta, "I'd like to invite you all upstairs for a drink."

Violeta glanced at Eugene, who was behind her.

James added, "I'll have your friend treated."

"Fine."

It seemed that if they refused the invitation, James wouldn't let them leave.

In just a short while, the situation had completely turned around.

What was originally a deadlock was now in their favour, and it was all due to Violeta's quick thinking.

Felix was carrying Eugene. Aster looked at Violeta with awe; she exclaimed, "Ms. White, you rock! You just knocked that Glorian down with a couple of moves. My gosh, you're so cool!!"

Violeta smiled at them and said, "As long as the problem is solved."

Eugene clutched his chest in pain. He coughed and said, "Beauty, if I'd known you were this good at fighting, I wouldn't have tried to act tough. Cough! Cough! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Violeta replied, "I was about to, but you interrupted me."

Eugene coughed again. "Cough! Cough! It's fate. I was destined for this!"

Felix said, "Eugene, you're seriously injured. Don't talk!"

No one expected that just moments ago, they were adversaries.

James now invited the four of them into the winery as respectable guests.

Later, a doctor arrived to examine Eugene. He had a dislocated arm and multiple injuries. He needed to go to the hospital for further tests. Without delay, Felix accompanied Eugene to the hospital.

Aster stayed with Violeta at the winery. Although Aster was quite scared, she stayed because she feared James might come up with more strange and perverse ideas to torment Violeta.

But she was overthinking it.

After entering the winery, James didn't come to them, nor did anyone else.

It was Wendy who approached them.

After greeting Violeta, Wendy took out a script to discuss with her.

She asked, "This isn't the full script, is it?"

"No, this is only one-third of it."

Wendy handed over a business card with her private contact information. She said, "Send me the full script. Oh, by the way, I don't even know your name yet."

"My name is Violeta White."

Wendy asked, "Are you the female lead in this drama?"

Violeta nodded.

She had invested in this drama to promote herself. If she wasn't the female lead, who would be?

Wendy said, "Indeed, you fit this role perfectly. Let's schedule another time to talk in detail."

Violeta said straightforwardly, "Director Stokes, I won't be staying in Glorialand for long. I hope you can come to Chesia with me this time." Wendy was taken aback. "Go to Chesia with you?"

Violeta nodded and explained, "Yes, because plan to start filming at the end of this month. We need to complete all preparations this

month, including shooting schedules and locations." Content belongs to

Wendy frowned at this. "You mean nothing's prepared yet, but you want to start filming at the end of the month?" she asked, "Why the rush?" Violeta was running out of time.

She only had a year. She estimated that filming this series would take six to seven months.

She had to complete everything,

including editing and all

post-production work, within three

months. Then, she would need to

arrange for international and

domestic releases.

We had to complete everything within a year.

This was an extremely challenging task.

That was exactly why Violeta had chased Wendy all the way here.

She didn't explain too much to

Wendy, only saying, "First of all, thank you for agreeing to direct this series. I don't have much time, so hope we can speed up the process. I know you're a professional director, and with you on board, the team will definitely be stronger."

Wendy paused. She understood what Violeta was saying.

However, auditions for her next film were already scheduled for next week.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

If she went to Chesia with Violeta this week, wouldn't that mean she would have to cancel the auditions?

Wendy was in a dilemma.

James had overheard their conversation. He approached with his entourage.

He addressed Wendy in a commanding tone.

"Wendy, I hope you won't refuse."
