Isabella stepped right back into her studio, letting the door swing shut behind her.
“How’d it go?” Laura asked as she poured Isabella a glass of water.
“It’s fine now. Everything’s back to normal,” Isabella said, her voice calm.
Laura handed her the glass. “We should probably just find our own actors from now on. That way, no one can mess with us.”
Isabella shook her head. “No, it’s not worth it. This industry is only hot for this year and maybe next. Once everyone else jumps in, it’s going to get messy and crowded. We need to cash in while we can, then invest in something else. There’s no need to spend a ton on actors. We can just borrow a few from The Adams Group for now.”
From the start, Isabella had never planned on making this a long-term thing. Every industry was crowded these days. Whenever something new took off, people rushed in and things got intense fast. She knew, thanks to her second chance at life, that the boom in short web series would only last a couple of years. Her plan was simple—make the most of it, then get out before things got ugly.
Laura sat beside her, passing her the warm water. “Honestly, Isabella, I don’t get it. It’s like you can see the future. You’d never even mentioned short series before. How did you know this would take off?”
