Charles held the cup by its handle, his slender fingers täpping lightly on its surface. “Say what youneed to say,” he urged.

Xavier felt a bit awkward but had no choice but to continue, “Winter has been working in theentertainment industry, which is filled with all sorts of people. This recent incident has blown up, andWinter is the biggest victim. She… She’s being attacked online.”

“And how does that concem me? Get to the point, Charles said, setting down his cup and rubbinghis temples.

Xavier could tell that Charles was growing impatient. “I know you own a film company, Uncle. I washoping you could help Winter. She’s being targeted right now, and her career might be over.”

Charles raised an eyebrow. “So, you want me to help? You should’ve said so earlier.” He stood upand pressed the intercom button. “Ronald, come in.”

Ronald quickly responded to the summon, knocking and entering the room. “Mr. Hoffman, youneeded something?” he asked, glancing at Xavier and giving a slight nod.

Xavier nodded back with a polite smile,

Charles motioned with his hand. “I remember owning a film company, right?”

Ronald was momentarily taken aback but quickly recovered. “Yes, Mr. Hoffman. You left it under mymanagement. What would you like to do with it?”

“Xavier, tell Ronald what you need. He’s my assistant and manages that company. He’ll know whatto do better than I would,” Charles said, tapping his fingers on the desk. “I have other work to attend

to. Ronald will handle everything for you.”

Xavier felt a wave of relief upon realizing that Charles was agreeing to help. He glanced at Ronald,surprised that a mere assistant had the authority to manage an entire company. “Thank you,Uncle.”

“Mm.” Charles waved him off, signaling for Ronald to take him out.

Ronald smiled slightly. “Mr. Harris, please come with me.”

Ronald led Xavier to the meeting room and had Ida bring in a cup of coffee. Xavier’s expressionstiffened at the sight of the coffee. Having just had a cup earlier, he was not thrilled about anotherdrink. “Thank you, Mr. Wells,” he said, trying to be polite.

“It’s no trouble. Since Mr. Hoffman gave the instructions, I’ll handle it. Can you explain the specificsof what you need?” Ronald asked.

Xavier repeated his prepared speech, explaining Winter’s situation and his hopes for her recovery. “Ineed advice on how to handle this.”

Ronald responded confidently, “That’s simple. Our film company is currently preparing a new TVshow. I was about to ask Mr. Hoffman about investing in it. The lead roles have been cast, but thesecond female Head is still open. If Ms. Shaw is interested, she can audition for it. Of course, theaudition will only be a

Ronald then called Ida to bring the film company’s project files and handed the relevant details toXavier.” Take a look. If Ms. Shaw agrees, we can finalize it.”

Xavier frowned, not familiar with the entertainment industry. He had only heard about it from Winteroccasionally, so he could not give Ronald an immediate answer.
