Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied
Chapter 478 Don't Want to Be an Actress Anymore

In the past, no matter how much Everleigh had to suffer outside, as long as she returned home, she would feel at ease. However, she wasn't at ease that day.

When she got back home, Selena happened to be back too. She then went to her room and knocked on the door. "Everleigh."

"What's the matter?"

"Can we talk?" Selena asked.

Everleigh got up from her bed, opened the door and let her in. Selena looked at her dark eye bags and was shocked. "What happened to you? You didn't sleep well last night, did you?" "Yes. Tell me, what do you want to talk about?" Everleigh sat on her bed and looked at her.

After a moment of silence, Selena finally said, "I want to learn about business management in Dad's company."

Hearing that, Everleigh was rather surprised. "Business management? Aren't you most interested in the film industry? If you quit now, you won't be popular anymore."

Selena took a deep breath, and her eyes dimmed a little. "Everleigh, to be honest, I've been thinking about this ever since I was still abroad. I always see Alastair and Dad talking about work, and I know that Dad will hand his company over to you in the future. However, I know what your dreams are. You don't even have the slightest interest in business."

"Selena, you have your own dreams too, right? You want to win an Oscar, and I'm sure you'll achieve your dream soon. Do you really want to give up now?" Everleigh didn't care who would be in charge of the company in the future. If Selena had the desire, she would be really happy.

However, if she was just trying to make Abraham happy, then there was no need for that.

Everleigh had never intended to get anything from the Trevino family. She was already incredibly grateful that they had raised her.

Selena sighed softly and raised her head. Her teary eyes showed some sadness. "Dreams and reality are not the same."

Everleigh thought for a moment and asked, "Do you think I'm trying to take everything away from you?"

Selena, however, was startled. "Why do you think so?"

"Because you've had such thoughts before. It was Dad who told me about it. Otherwise, he would've handed the company over to me. If you really have such thoughts, I can assure you that I've never wanted to take over Trevino Group." Everleigh wanted to take the opportunity to make it clear to her.

She wasn't good at doing business. She was only suitable to be a doctor.

Selena chuckled, "No, you're just overthinking. In the past, I was childish and immature. Now, I've already settled down, and it's time for me to treat things seriously. Dad is getting old, so it's time for me to help him out in the company." "Did Leon do something to you?" Everleigh suddenly changed the topic.

Something must have happened for Selena to change her mind. Otherwise, why did she want to manage the company all of a sudden? Hearing this, Selena laughed and said, "Why would you ask that?"

"I know you well. Leon must have done something for you to suddenly have this sort of idea. Selena, you'd better tell me the truth, or I'll replace it out myself." Everleigh only needed to ask Theodore to know what was going on. Selena pursed her lips. It was obvious that she didn't want to say a word.

Everleigh didn't force her, and waited patiently for her to open up.

Finally, Selena couldn't resist herself and explained helplessly, "Fine, I'll talk. The truth is, Leon invested in the film, and he looks for me every single day, wanting to talk to me. I really don't know what else I can say to him. Although Jorben doesn't mention it, I can sense that he is very upset."

"Are you trying to quit just because of him? Selena, are you willing to let your effort go in vain?" Everleigh felt that her reason wasn't acceptable.

When Selena first returned from abroad, it reminded Everleigh of Theodore's expression. She wanted to leave as well, but she knew that she couldn't leave before she reached her goal.

Moreover, Leon was involved in the film industry all because of Selena. If not, he wouldn't have wasted his time visiting the film set everyday.

"You'd better think carefully. If you won't regret your decision in the future, feel free to run the company. However, if you'll regret it, you have the chance to turn back now, otherwise, you'll regret it for the rest of your life." Everleigh's words sounded rather harsh, but they were reasonable.

Selena understood there was a high possibility of her regretting her decision, but she also knew that life wasn't meant to be perfect. No one could predict what would happen if she persisted. However... Her feelings for Leon were extremely complicated.

She wasn't sure whether or not it would work if she got back together with him.

She wasn't ready to settle down with a man yet. If she married a man without considering things carefully, what would she do if she regretted it in the future? "Everleigh..."

"I have a solution. Has your film shoot ended yet?"

"It'll be completed in a few days' time," Selena answered in puzzlement.

Everleigh thought carefully and continued, "Okay, don't accept a new film for the time being. I'll ask Dad to teach you how to manage the company. Then, you can decide which one you like more." "Really?" Selena couldn't believe it, and she was a little nervous at the same time. What if she couldn't manage it well?

Everleigh noticed her concerns and chuckled, "Are you scared? If you're scared, how can you manage a business well? Let me tell you something. Anything can happen in the world of business, including being set up." Selena's eyes opened wide and stared at her in astonishment. "Have you ever experienced it?"

"Nope, but I've seen a lot. If you don't believe me, you can ask Dad. You can make a decision after thinking about it. The company belongs to the family, so you can start whenever you want to." Everleigh was relieved to see that her sister was interested. However, Selena had a good reputation in the film industry. If she really quit, it would indeed be a pity.

"Think about it properly."

"Alright, got it." Selena was really tempted to try it.

Despite this, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to handle it.

Selena got up in a daze and was ready to leave the room.

Everleigh laughed again. It seemed that she felt so much better after saying those words. Soon, she fell asleep.

The next morning, a ray of sunshine shone in her room. Everleigh opened her eyes slowly, stretched herself, got up and prepared to go to work.

She had to report back to the hospital that day. Christopher was glad to see that she was in a better mood.

"We have a meeting later. We can talk about it after the meeting ends."

"Sure."

In the conference room, she listened to Benedict's long presentation energetically. She didn't feel sleepy at all.

"Dr. Trevino, would you like to share with us your experience throughout the exchange program?"

"Okay. Through the program, I had the chance to learn about the advanced medical technology in a foreign country, and it gave me a chance to realize our weaknesses." She had done a simple research during the trip, and recorded it down. Looking at the notes prepared by her, everyone agreed with her.

In the end, the meeting became Everleigh's personal sharing session.

Everyone listened to her talk carefully and didn't say a single word.

Benedict was impressed by her speech. "It seems that Dr. Trevino has really learned a lot. Her learning attitude is commendable. Everyone here should remember that we must focus more on our work, rather than spending too much time on having fun."

Christopher looked at the notes and whispered to her, "When did you prepare this? I remember that you were having fun throughout the entire trip."

"It's called good memory. We must know how to identify the keywords and important information. For example, when you're hooking up with girls, you should know which ones are attracted to you and which ones aren't."
