Chapter 41 Grayson didnt reappear for the rest of the meal .
Paisley didnt bother checking on him either .
After cleaning up , she set Serena up with her toys and got back to work on her emails .
64 % 1 Serena played quietly in her own space for a while but soon stacled sneaking glances at her mother , who was focused on her laptop .
When she was sure Paisley wasnt looking , she tiptoed over to thisnack cabinet .
Grabbing a chocolate bar , a piece of bread , and a carton of milk , she carefully tiptoed toward the guest roo Serena thought she was being so sneaky , but every step she took was in Paisleys line of sight .
Paisley just raised her eyebrows , amused , and went back to her work without saying a word .
Inside the guest room .
Grayson lay sprawled on the bed , his face buried in the pillow .
Hed cried himself into a sniffling mess , and his stomach was now growling angrily .
He was certain Paisley would eventually feel bad for him and call him out for breakfast .
But an hour passed , and no one came .
Shes really going to let me starve , huh ? What a cruel woman ! he thought bitterly .
Just then , a soft shuffling noise came from the other side of the door .
It sounded like a little mouse scratching at the wood .
Grayson sat up and stared at the door with his red eyes .
A second later , it cracked open just a sliver .
Then , a small , chubby hand reached through with a chocolate bar .
The hand carefully set it on the floor before disappearing .
A moment later , the hand reappeared with a small bag of bread .
It was placed next to the chocolates Finally , a carton of milk arrived , adding to the growing pile of snacks .
When all three items were lined up neatly on the floor , the little hand hesitated .
Then , as if worried Grayson might not notice the offering , Serena gave a loud , exaggerated cough .
After pushing the snacks further into the room , she finally closed the door .
Grayson stayed frozen on the bed , staring at the chocolate , bread , and milk , lost in his thoughts .
Did she … bring them for me ? Over the next little while , Grayson walked to the door without shoes and started eating the food Serena had snuck him .
He enjoyed the food while thinking .
I dont like bread and milk .
But why does the bread taste so soft and delicious , and the milk , so sweet and refreshing ? teat it .
Instead Once he finished the bread and milk , he stared at the chocolate har for a moment but he carefully stuffed it into his pocket .
Meanwhile , Serena casually returned to her toy corner as if nothing happened .
What were you doing , sweetie ? Paisley asked though she had already known the answer .
Serena froze for a second , but she didnt even look back .
She put on a grown up voice and replied , Nothing , just sitting too long .
Lwas stretching my legs .

Paisley showed a smirk but didnt press her .
21:58 Mon , Jan 27 Chapter 41 Around 10 a.m.
, Paisleys assistant , Lucy , called with a work update , Ive got three things to repert .
First , you were right Mr .
Andersons project has been delayed .
The original leads for the diale lead and the second female lead dropped out , so now he has to recast those roles .
Paisley replied , Got it .
This wasnt surprising .
Shed seen this coming from a mile away so she hadnt rushed to fix it .
After all , the leading roles in a top tier drama should either be popular with a large fan base or have very astonishing records in other dramas .
Brittany was nowhere near a big enough name to carry a lead role in such a massive production .
She didnt have the fan base or the acting chops to pull it off .
Given that shed only made a name for herself with bit parts in web dramas and by stealing the spotlight on ceremonies , it was no shock she was getting dropped .
For an actor , the script was just one thing .
He valued other leading roles even more .
After all , no actor worth his salt would risk a few months of shooting just to star opposite someone with so little credibility .
It made sense for him to drop out .
The second female leads exit made even more sense .
She was a top tier celebrity , with enough pull that she couldnt possibly play second fiddle to someone like Brittany .
Even if she were willing , her fans wouldnt accept it Paisley was sure this was just the beginning .
More actors would likely drop out soon enough .
But that wasnt her problem .
She was just a screenwriter, and the director would have to sort out this mess .
It would take Brittany forever to get the leading role .
Paisley asked , Whats the second thing ? Lucy continued , Nathaniel Beaumont from Axion Enterprises has opened a new polo club in Harrowfell and wants to invite you to the grand opening party .
Axion Enterprises ? Paisley thought for a moment , trying to connect the dots .
Lucy then said , You saw him last year at the Lynford International Equestrian Competition .
He was one of the events investors , and he presented you with the champion award .
After that , you both went to the celebration party , and Mr.
Beaumont mentioned he would treat you to dinner when you were back in town Paisley found her memories .
Nathaniel had made a positive impression on her back then .
So , are you going ? Lucy asked , trying to gauge her interest .
She then added , He said you could bring your family or friends doesnt matter how many , Paisley chuckled , catching the hint that Lucy wanted in on this .
It had been a while since shed gone out , so she agreed , Alright , lets attend it .
You handle the arrangements .
Got it , Lucy responded eagerly and then moved on to the third item .
The third thing is , someone in Harrowfell has reached out through a middleman to buy one of your painting Someone wants to buy my painting ? Paisley raised her eyebrows and asked , Who is it ? Do you know ? Its through a third party .
I dont know who the buyer is , replied Lucy Paisley glanced at the time and found it was almost time to start making lunch .
Afterward , she was planning to take the kids 21:58 Mon , Jan 27 to the park .
So she replied firmly , No matter who it is , the answer is still no .
