Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 14

Finnian had just finished his soup when he walked over and asked, "Hey, what's up with you?"

Amara shook her head. "I'm fine."

She spoke without meeting Finnian's eyes, and then she worriedly headed upstairs.

Watching her retreating figure, Finnian furrowed his brows. What's going on with her? She'd been distracted ever since earlier.

Back in her room, Amara scrolled through her contacts and found Keith, someone she hadn't been in touch with for ages.

When she checked Keith's Facebook, she noticed she was blocked. No wonder she hadn't seen any updates from him in so long. Amara couldn't help but laugh wryly at the situation.

Later that evening, Finnian was on his way back to the office for a late meeting when he received a call from Liliana.

"Hey, Finn."

Liliana had this way of stretching out her words, adding a playful, almost flirtatious tone without overdoing it.

"Do you know about the 'Whispers of Winter' project? I really want to be in it. The director had initially picked me during auditions, but the scriptwriter vetoed it."

Finnian didn't delve into the details, but since she wanted it, he simply said, "Don't worry about it. I'll handle this."

"Great. You're the best."

After hanging up, Finnian instructed Will to get in touch with the “Whispers of Winter” production team and find a way to get Liliana a part. The name of the project seemed oddly familiar to him. Had he heard it somewhere before, or was it just a figment of his imagination?

The following days saw Amara moving to the Everly house, where she buried herself in her room rewriting scripts, rarely stepping out.

Finnian was also busy with early starts and late returns, making it nearly impossible for them to cross paths, much to the dismay of Kevin.

Finally, the first day of shooting arrived. Amara hailed a cab to the set, where Cedric greeted her with enthusiasm and pulled her along.
