The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 709

Saturday morning brought an air of trepidation as Epic Entertainment called an all-hands meeting. Not even the celebrated actress Kayleigh could weasel out of this one. The buzz among the crowd suggested a storm was brewing on the horizon.

For months, rumors had swirled in online forums about a power struggle at the top echelons of Epic, a titan in the entertainment industry. Heads were expected to roll, and promotions to be handed out. All eyes were locked in anticipation of the unfolding drama.

Allison arrived at the conference room to find it already half-full. Patty, Charlie, and Sidney, a few of the power-agent trifecta, were already present. Patty wore a smug grin that seemed to confirm the industry's suspicions: she was the likely heir to the vice-presidential throne. Several up-and-coming actors flocked to her, eager to curry favor.

Charlie, ever the image of poise, applied her lipstick while observing her own client schmoozing with Patty. The entertainment business was a ruthless game of stepping stones, and Charlie wasn't one to take offense easily.

Her gaze shifted to Allison as she entered the room. Despite their history, Charlie couldn't help but feel a knot of anxiety tighten within her. Allison, donning a baseball cap and a mask, appeared nonchalant in her casual hoodie. Even as their eyes met, Allison's expression remained inscrutable.
