The phone rang a few times before being answered. A cold, no-nonsense voice cthrough.
“You went to STARLINE Studios to discuss cooperation?”
Dalton straightened slightly, not realizing that Colton already knew about this. “It didn’t work out. | need your
help.”
Colton’s tone didn’t change. “Help with what?”
Dalton sighed. “I offended one of the technicians there, and Leo stepped in to back her up-"
Colton cut him off, his voice sharpening. “What's the technician's name?”
Dalton blinked, momentarily caught off guard. “Sarah.”
A long silence followed.
Then, Colton let out a short, mirthless laugh. “Letget this straight. You went there to negotiate, but before
even securing a deal, you managed to offend one of their core members?”
Dalton hesitated for a moment, ready to scoff and argue that Sarah wasn’t score technician, just someone
with an ambiguous relationship with Leo. But before he could even get the words out, Colton cut him off.
“This is a favor | can do for you,” Colton said flatly, “but for the last time.”
The finality in his voice made Dalton straighten in his chair. He immediately masked his irritation with gratitude,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtresponding, “Of course. Thank you, Colton. | owe you one.”
Colton didn’t bother responding. The line went dead a second later.
Dalton tossed the phone aside without a care in the world and continued to drink. Colton always had this cold
attitude, but as soon as he’d agreed to help, he'd find a way to do it.
Curious, Clark asked, “Who did you call?”
Dalton smiled, “Someone who can help us.’
Meanwhile, Sarah was in her office when her phone rang. The moment she saw Colton’s non the screen, she
knew what the call was about.

Colton didn’t waste twith pleasantries. “Sarah, | need a favor.”
Sarah leaned back in her chair, twirling a pen between her fingers. “What is it?”
“Dalton ctofor help getting into STARLINE Studios‘ collaboration,” Colton said. “His father dida
favor when | was just a struggling designer. | can’t ignore that.”
Sarah sighed softly. She had expected something like this.
Colton continued, “I know you don’t want to work with Clark, and | won't force you. | made it clear to Dalton that
Clark won't be part of this deal. It’s just him. Can you agree to this?”
Sarah closed her eyes briefly, weighing the situation.
Colton had been her mentor, the person who had shaped her career. If he were asking this sincerely, then she
would do it-not for Dalton, but for Colton.
“Alright,” she said finally. “I'll agree to the collaboration, but only if Clark is kept completely out of it.”
Colton chuckled. “Of course. Thank you, Sarah.”
After the call ended, Sarah set her phone down, her expression neutral. She had already expected the
partnership to go through one way or another, but she wasn’t particularly bothered.
She wasn’t the kind of person to let emotions get in the way of business.
Dalton received the news in the afternoon. Without wasting time, he drove straight to STARLINE Studios.
Before he arrived, Sarah had told Leo about the call from Colton just now, and he understood what was
going on.
However, rather than meeting Dalton right away, he deliberately kept him waiting for over an hour.
Dalton’s impatience grew, but he didn’t complain. When Leo finally appeared, he got straight to business.
Dalton, despite his earlier arrogance, had clearly put effort into refining his proposal. It was better than before-
more solid, more promising.
Leo studied him, and after a long pause, he nodded. “Alright. We'll move forward with this.”
Dalton felt a sense of satisfaction, but his expression stayed composed. “I'm glad to hear that. Since we're in it
for the long haul, let's celebrate, how about dinner later?”
There was an unreadable glint in Leo's eyes, “Yes, but Sarah will be joining us as well.”

Dalton stilled for a second
A flicker of amusement crossed his mind.
So, Sarah didn’t know yet?
He expected her to be furious when she found out STARLINE Studios had agreed to work with him. Maybe she
would even argue with Leo about it.
The thought of seeing her helplessly angry amused him. He was looking forward to it.
So he smirked slightly and said, “Sure, | don’t mind.”
Sarah cover after she received the news that she was going to eat.
Instead of the exasperated look Dalton was expecting on her face, she shook his hand with a calm face, “Good
cooperation.”
