When Nathan asked, Ava didn't hesitate and revealed the entire studio project to him. Initially, she had kept it from Nathan because she feared he would discern her intentions and intervene.
However, the situation had changed. With Hugh Simon joining the team and all her prior preparations, it would be challenging for Nathan to obstruct her plans now unless he intended to break ties with her. Besides, with the competition only a month away, Nathan would find out sooner or later, making secrecy unnecessary.
"If I'm not mistaken, your biggest concern right now is funding, isn't it?" Nathan pulled up a chair and sat next to Ava.
Ava rubbed her forehead, clearly troubled. "Yes, Hugh Simon's help with the mentor's side should ease things, but I need to secure the startup funds for the competition and contact the media. Without sufficient funds, how can I invite the media for promotion? It's really a headache."
