Twisted Ties of Love
Chapter 445

"I'll get the door, I'm closer."

Randy got up and opened the door to a guy standing outside. He was dressed casually, just like Izabella had been, complete with a hat and mask. The only difference was the cup of hot chocolate in his hand. "Hey." Randy nodded and bowed slightly, showing warmth. "Ms. Salotti is inside, come on in."

As Randy stepped aside, he gave the guy a once-over. He was tall, and judging by his arms, he must have a good set of muscles. Probably wouldn't mind showing off his upper body on camera, as long as his face was up to it.

It was a bit of a bummer that he couldn't see the guy's face right now, but judging by the shape of his head, he probably had a decent jawline too.

"Hmm, thanks."

Randy frowned slightly. This voice was oddly familiar. He'd heard it somewhere before. It made him feel excited, but he couldn't remember where he'd heard it.

Randy followed the guy anxiously. He walked fast, heading straight for Izabella.

"How come you just got here? Any problems on the way?" Izabella asked worriedly.

"No, nothing like that. I saw this hot chocolate you like on the way and I lined up to buy it. You didn't have breakfast and don't like sushi, so have something to drink first, and I'll take you to eat something later." Casey handed over the hot chocolate he'd been holding.

This café was usually crowded, so getting a cup of hot chocolate wasn't easy.

"You actually dared to line up? Weren't you afraid of being recognized by fans?"

Casey replied nonchalantly, "I'm not afraid. Try it, see if it's the flavor you like."

Casey had her a large cup of drink. Izabella usually couldn't finish it, so Casey would snatch it and finish the rest, both of them sharing the same straw.

Izabella sipped the drink and breathed at the same time, her mouth against the straw, looking as cute as a hamster.

Tasting her favorite hot chocolate, Izabella's eyes lit up. "Yummy, that's the taste."

The two guys on the side felt like they were the third wheel, wishing they could disappear. But they were also curious about the relationship between Izabella and this guy. Given how close they were, they had to be a couple.

From their conversation, it was clear the guy had fans, and judging by his disguise, he was trying to avoid being recognized.

Someone who would be recognized on the street had to be a celebrity.

Jerome and Randy exchanged glances before turning to Izabella, unable to resist interrupting their intimate moment.

"Ms. Salotti, who is this?"

"Let me introduce, this is Jerome and Randy. You should know them, we've chatted before."

Jerome and Randy thought, "Chatted before? When? Why did we not know?"

Casey took off his mask and extended his hand, "Hello, directors. I'm Casey, the male lead."

Jerome almost tripped over his own feet in surprise. Luckily, Randy caught him in time.

If they were shocked to meet Izabella, they were dumbfounded to meet Casey. They never dreamed they'd have the chance to work with the popular movie star Casey. It felt like a dream come true. They quickly reached out to shake Casey's hand, "Mr. Dempsey, we're fans. We've seen your movies."

They were obviously true fans of Casey, so nervous to meet him in person they could barely speak.

"Ms. Salotti, is this the leading actor you invited?"

Izabella raised an eyebrow slightly, "What, you don't approve?"

"No, I just feel like I'm dreaming." Jerome exclaimed.

They had thought it would be a low-budget movie, but now it seemed like a whole new level. With Casey's participation, the excellent script, and equipment, they had a hunch this movie would be a hit. With each of Casey's films topping the previous one in box office, his last film had reached 5.8 billion. This one, with Izabella's participation, might even break 6 billion.

The bulk of the budget would go to special effects, sound, and makeup. The filming date was set, but the directors were eager to start shooting as soon as possible.

Although there was a need for a period of adjustment before filming, they already had a complete team, and the rapport between Izabella and Casey needed no further adjustment.

The contract had been reviewed by Izabella and Casey in advance, most of the content even drafted by them. All Jerome needed to do was tidy up the language and print it out for stamping at the relevant department.

However, to be on the safe side, Izabella quickly scanned it again before signing.

As Izabella and Casey bent over to sign, Jerome and Randy noticed for the first time that the watches on their wrists were a matching pair.
