Chapter 153
Linda learned after observing it so many times.
She drove home by herself when the roadshow ended. She was feeling a bit annoyed by Lina.
Despite being a glamorous manager, Lina would turn into a chattering yapper after not seeing her for a while..
Linda drove without a particular destination in mind. She just wanted to go wherever the road took her. At that moment, Jimmy called.
"What's up?"
"I figured your roadshow should be over by now and wanted to ask you out for lunch. We haven't seen each other in a while."
Jimmy had been trying to meet Linda for a meal for some time, but their schedules never aligned.
"So, when do you want to meet up?" Linda asked.
"How about today at noon? My mom says I've lost weight recently and hired a new chef who cooks incredibly delicious food. I think you'll love it."
"Okay, I'll be at your place soon."
Linda was quite fond of Jimmy. He helped her during her most difficult times, especially when she started her career in Usna.
The market in Usna was fiercely competitive, with countless films vying to enter Wollyhood, a metonym for the cinema of Usna.
Linda didn't aim to conquer the Usna market. She just wanted to create her own movies, but it was hard for newcomers to establish themselves in such a competitive environment. She had talent and money but no connections.
Just when she was at a loss, Jimmy appeared like a godsend. They formed a deep friendship afterward.
Jimmy often said they had known each other for over ten years, but in reality, it had only been less than three years.
Linda drove to Jimmy's villa,Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Jimmy wasn't a native of Osmo, but his mother was. He had several properties in Osmo, which were all purchased by his mother.
Affluent families would often invest in real estate for their children. Real estate, especially standalone villas, was one of the most stable investments, though location mattered.
A property like Jimmy's could easily sell for eight to nine million dollars, being centrally located and standalone.
When Linda arrived, Jimmy had just finished changing his clothes and was coming downstairs.
He teased, "I thought you'd come just in time for lunch, but you're early today. I feel flattered. It feels like I'm becoming more important to you.”
Linda tossed her bag and car keys at him. "Stop with the nonsense. I just finished. The publicity team said everything is pretty much in place, but I want to boost the buzz more."
Jimmy led her to the couch. "I've been following along. I think you could leverage your popularity. You're more famous than the movie itself now."
"Leverage my popularity?" Linda didn't quite get it.
"Develop your personal vlog. 'A happy day in Linda's life, for example."
