After dinner, Marie left the villa to head back to the dorms at the university.
"You should come visit me on campus, Leo," Marie said. "I'll introduce my roommates to you."
Leo agreed, but only so Marie would stop pestering him.
Lydia seemed rather taken aback by how much Leo's relationship with Marie had progressed. "It's only been like, what, two days? You and Marie are good buddies now?"
"Maybe I'm just that likeable?" Leo shrugged, giving Lydia a playful wink. "It was the same with Emilia, wasn't it? She called me daddy the moment she saw me."
Lydia rolled her eyes. "Show off," she said, carrying the stack of dirty dishes to the sink.
Leo instantly rose to his feet. "Let me help you."
Lydia opened her mouth to protest, but something in Leo's eyes made her stop talking.
He looked so earnest and sincere that she didn't have the heart to stop him.
Moments later, they were standing side by side with each other at the sink with only the sound of running water to fill the silence between them. The air was so awkward that Lydia couldn't help but squirm.
"Our collaboration with your estranged family has been finalized," Lydia said to stifle the awkwardness. "The new plans will be set in motion in a few days."
Leo hummed and continued to wash the dishes.
"I also found an actress for the role," Lydia continued. "Her name is Michelle Brooks. You might've heard of her. She's a student of the Music Maestro."
Leo's hand stilled and he stared at his wife in surprise. "You know the Music Maestro?"
Lydia nodded. "Judith Perez, also known as the Music Maestro. Of course, I know her."
Leo said nothing after that, contenting himself with the view of the darkening evening sky.
Among the Seven Maestros of Winbury, Judith Perez was the most well-known.
Even though she wasn't involved in the entertainment business, tales of Judith resonated across the entire entertainment industry.
