hated What big boss are you talk about?”

As we would ever do anything to hurt you? This is your chancel decor was excited

When we first spoke I knew you were an ambitious person. Although people are becoming more and more clized, legal education is still an important and arduous journey ahead to you

Now that a shortcut has appeared, you must seize this opportunity!”

To be honest, I never believed that there could be shortcuts for anything. Whether it was studying hard since childhood or genuinely loving a man, t had never been able to take shortcuts in my life.

it there were any, they would just be underhanded tricks. Sooner or later, karma would catch up and make me lose everything I once gained.

But I thought that the director probably was not a bad person. After all, when the incident happened at the TV station, he was the only one who saw me off and even gave me a tip. So, I decided to follow him.

As soon as I stepped into the bar, the overwhelming smell of smoke and alcohol made me cough. When the director spoke to me, he did not bother to maintain his distance from me. He constantly leaned in to shout in my ear.

I frowned. Instinctively, I kept my distance and did not talk to him anymore.

However, the director was worried. He grabbed my arm and insisted. “Three bosses from the country’s top entertainment company are here. They think highly of you and have come just for you. Do your best because the success of our show depends on you now!”

I was stunned. If I could remember correctly, it should be a subsidiary of the Shelman Group. Pete had even served as its CEO for a while. Their rising starlet, Gabriela, was someone he had strongly promoted.

Feeling a little relieved, a smile appeared on my lips. I should probably call

Pete later to thank him.

I paused when I walked past a mirror on the wall. Today, I was wearing a black satin gown with a cashmere cont over it. I decided to take off the coat and hold it in my hands. I then adjusted my dress.

The director looked at me approvingly, thought you’d wear that lifeless professional attire again. I didn’t expect you to look so on point.”

I said nothing. Perhaps because I had been appearing quite ofessional online lately, everyone had forgotten what I used to look lik his outfit was more comfortable for me.

In the mirror, my eyes were bright and looked spirited. I smiled slightly at him. I just did not want to let Pete down

I was a little nervous standing in front of the private room. Trying to smile casually, I knocked and opened the door

The room was not as lively as how I imagined it to be. Closing the door behind me, the room was so quiet one could hear a pin drop.

In the huge room, only three people were sitting behind the long table. I recognized the one in the middle. It was Marcus.

He sat in the center between two men. They did not look like they were here. to discuss business, but more like they were there to pick a fight.

The director ducked past me. “Mr. Marcus, this is Ms. Arianna Jones. I’ve brought her as requested. Look at how beautiful she is!”

Marcus looked up. His eyes were filled with an unfathomable depth that seemed even more inscrutable than Nicholas‘

But things started to feel off. The director actually took my hand and placed it in Marcus’s. “This is Mr. Marcus from Shelman Group.”

He patted the back of my hand and secretly gave me a meaningful look You two have a good chat.”

I yanked my hand back immediately with a stern look. “There’s nothing to discuss. We’re old acquaintances.”
