Lindsey acknowledged Josh with a nod before taking a seat.


    Suddenly, the door to the private room swung open.


    A dashing man dressed in white entered.


    It was Sumner.


    Why did hee here?


    “Ah, Sumner, d you’ve arrived.


    We were just about to begin without you.


    ” The personnel director stood up and gave Sumner a warm greeting.


    Sumner’s gaze quickly found Lindsey.


    She looked stunning in her ck dress, her dark hair cascading gracefully down.


    She sat there, radiating a serene beauty.


    Lindsey was curious about Sumner’s presence.


    Then, she overheard the personnel director speaking to Josh.


    “Mr.


    Harvey, this is the Sumner Lawson I’ve been telling you about.


    He’s an up-anding singer with a lot of potential.


    He might join our team at Vitality Entertainment.


    I invited him here today to meet everyone.


    ”


    Josh observed Sumner and gave a nod of approval.


    “In ourpany, we treasure talent above all.


    Choosing Vitality Entertainment will be your best decision.


    ”


    Sumner responded with a polite smile, “Thank you for your kind words, Mr.


    Harvey.


    ”


    Sumner’s reason for attending the party was simple.


    He had heard Lindsey would be there, and that was his sole motivation.


    His decision to join Vitality Entertainment hinged on whether Lindsey remained an agent there.


    He wasn’t swayed by the opinions orpliments of others.


    “Now that we’re all gathered, let’s join in wishing Kristy a joyous twenty-fourth birthday.


    ”


    The waiter brought in a cake lit with candles and uncorked a champagne.


    Everyone cheered “Happy Birthday”, creating a festive peak in the atmosphere.


    Lindsey, standing in a corner with a ss of champagne, sipped it cautiously during the toast.


    She was mindful of her low tolerance for alcohol.


    And she might have some undesirable conduct after drinking alcohol.


    She blushed slightly, recalling a past incident where, after getting drunk, she was taken home by Domenic and clung to him.


    Determined to avoid a repeat of such an incident, Lindsey carefully moderated her alcohol consumption.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    The personnel director kept encouraging Sumner to drink.


    Meanwhile, Sumner and Lindsey only exchanged brief nces throughout the evening.


    Jayleen approached Lindsey, holding two champagne sses.


    She then called out loudly to everyone in the room, “May I have your attention, please.


    I need to say something to Lindsey.


    ”


    The room fell silent, all eyes on Lindsey and Jayleen.


    “I’ve been doing some thinking thesest couple of days.


    I realize now that I made some mistakes that might have hurt you.


    I want to apologize.


    ” Jayleen extended a ss of champagne towards Lindsey.


    Lindsey raised her eyebrows.


    She believed Jayleen was up to no good.


    “y want to make amitment right here.


    If Lindseyes out on top in our bet, I’ll step down from my role as the director, and I mean…” She paused, looking at Lindsey again.


    “I do hope, though, that can work together harmoniously going forward.


    This drink is my way saying sorry.


    ”


    With that, Jayleen finished her ss and held out the one she had offered to Lindsey.
