Hearing his own sister call him trash felt like a knife in Leopold’s heart. But he couldn’t deny it. To her, that’s what he had become.
“Let’s go, Leopold,” Magnus said, already heading for the door. “One day, your sister will deeply regret letting you go.”
Leopold stood up and took one last look at Larissa’s impassive face. It was clear she had nothing more to say to him. He turned and left without another word.
As they were leaving the Starlight Media building, they passed a man in a stylish blue casual suit.
Leopold frowned. As the man headed up the stairs, he turned to Magnus. “That was Wynn.”
Magnus stopped. “Wynn?”
Leopold nodded. “Yeah.”
“What’s he doing here?”
As a long-time industry insider, Magnus knew every major player. Wynn was a name he hadn’t heard in years. The man had won a top award for his debut film, only to have his career implode after a scandal involving his assistant. He had completely fallen off the map.
“Don’t tell me he’s the male lead for ‘Heaven’s Will’,” Magnus mused, then broke into a laugh. “Leopold, if your sister is actually casting Wynn, she’s digging her own grave.”
Leopold said nothing. He had the same sinking feeling.
“Looks like making ‘Heaven’s Will’ a ratings disaster will be easier than I thought,” Magnus said, getting into his car. “Are you coming to the office today to officially start?”
“No,” Leopold replied. “I’m going to spend the next few days writing new music. I’ll officially start on the first of next month.”
