Chapter 1071 If She Can Rise to Power, She Won't Be Inferior
In no time, Violet and Max arrived at the filming location rented by the crew.
After parking the car, they both got out.
The fire in the warehouse had already been extinguished.
The fire trucks had left, leaving only the crew members to clean up the mess.
Thora and another designer were standing nearby, helping out.
Violet and Max walked over, and Violet scanned the area but didn't see Aria.
Violet's expression changed slightly.
She had guessed right.
"Ms. Devereux, Mr. Green, thank goodness you're here," said the two designers who were helping out. They dropped their tools and hurried over as if their saviors had arrived.
"It's okay, we'll handle it. By the way, where's the director?" Violet asked.
Thora sighed at the mention of Lloyd, "We had an argument earlier. He's up front."
"Alright, Mr. Green and I will go check on him," Violet nodded and prepared to leave.
Thora quickly added, "Ms. Devereux, Aria is with him too."
Violet wasn't surprised and headed towards Lloyd with Max.
As they left the warehouse, Max glanced at the woman beside him and said, "Violet, you were right. But how did she manage it?"
"Let's go find out," Violet was also curious about how capable Aria was in handling this situation.
At that moment, in Lloyd's office.
Aria had been talking with Lloyd for a while, and his demeanor had significantly improved since his argument with Thora.
Moreover, Lloyd was quite taken with Aria's beauty.
He even poured her a cup of coffee, saying, "Ms. Clark, you're too beautiful to just be a designer's assistant. Why not join my team?"
Aria took a sip of the coffee and smiled, "Looks aren't everything. I can't act."
"Acting can be learned," Lloyd replied. Truly talented actors were rare in the industry.
Most relied on their looks, after all.
"No, thank you, Lloyd. I appreciate the offer," Aria's charming expression made Lloyd's eyes linger on her, thinking it was a pity she wasn't acting.
"It's not just an offer. I'm being honest. And about today's incident, I apologize... I really misunderstood JK," Lloyd felt deeply guilty about his earlier harsh attitude.
If it weren't for Aria's computer skills in retrieving the full video, it would have been hard to explain once the police started investigating.
"Lloyd, you should apologize to our designers," Aria reminded him.
Lloyd nodded, "Of course." He felt like he was being led by the nose by her.
As they continued talking, Violet and Max arrived.
Seeing the harmonious atmosphere between Lloyd and Aria, Violet's eyes turned cold.
If she didn't know that Lloyd and Aria had never met before, she would have suspected they were putting on a show together.
Lloyd immediately approached Violet and Max to apologize, "Mrs. Hall, Mr. Green, I'm really sorry. Today's incident was actually our crew's fault. I apologize for almost accusing the wrong people."
"Lloyd, what exactly happened?" Max glanced at Aria sitting nearby, curious.
Lloyd sighed, "It was an inside job by someone in our crew. I've already called the police."
"Is that so?" Max was slightly surprised, "And our Ms. Clark..."
"We have Ms. Clark to thank for cracking the full video. Otherwise, I might have wrongfully accused someone," Lloyd said, now acting like a devoted admirer around Aria.
Aria smiled slightly, "It's no problem. I'm happy to help JK." She then looked at Violet.
Her gaze was confident and proud.
It was a clear message to Violet: See, she could handle these tricky situations better than Mrs. Hall.
So, if she ever got a chance to rise, she wouldn't be any less capable.
