Sophie nced up, her face breaking into a smile. “You need to win the Oscar to bring the maximum


    influence to mypany.”


    “But with the current power of Russell Entertainment, I couldn’t really help you even if I did win the


    Oscar” Reece’s voice was low. “Are you keeping something from me?”


    Sophie tightened his belt one final time, causing Reece slight pain. He looked down and watched


    Sophie had withdrawn her hand, “Wait till you’ve won the Oscar, then I tell you.”

    “What’s going on? Why are you so slow!” The crew member on set was pushing hard. He came over,


    saw Sophie, and frowned, “Can you do your job? If not, get lost!”


    “Is it my fault for being slow? So, should I get lost too?”

    Reece’s tone was nonchnt, instantly causing the crew member to change his expression. “No, no,


    Mr. Reece. Let’s hurry up with the photoshoot”


    Reece didn’t move. Instead, he stared at the crew member with a cold gaze. “You insulted her. Don’t


    you think you owe an apology?”


    The crew member hadn’t expected Reece to take a stand for a junior staff member, but he couldn’t


    afford to offend the hotshot actor of the moment, so he turned to Sophie and said, “Im truly sorry. I was


    too heated just now.”


    “It’s okay. Just be mindful next time.” Sophie’s demeanor was far from that of a junior employee, more


    like a senior executive.


    The crew member was put in his ce, puzzled by Reece’s behavior and Sophie’s status.


    Meanwhile-


    Nichole returned to her dormitory, only to find that her roommates had banded together to ostracize


    her.


    “Looks like someone got dumped and has nowhere to go, huh?”


    “Remember when she lied about her boyfriend being some big shot businessman? Tums out she was


    just being kept by someone, hrious.”


    Krystal and Tina took turns mocking her, a stark contrast to the previous ttery and adtion from the


    dorm’s upants.


    ‘Ding–ding-


    Nichole’s phone rang. It was the dean of students.


    The dean’s tone was distinctly colder than before, “This year’s graduate students are all required to


    intern off–campus. You didn’t show up, so the assigned spots are all filled. Don’t say I didn’t warn you,


    but if you can’t find an appropriate internship on your own, you won’t receive your diploma. It’s up to


    you now.”


    Nichole’s face turned pale.

    Back when James was investing in her, everyone was warm and solicitous. Never had she been


    spoken to in such a manner.


    She was being disregarded because James had discarded her. Nichole clenched her fists in


    determination.


    No, she could not let this bel


    In the afternoon, Nichole saw Sophie’s name on the graduate ss intership list


    She saw Palm’s Jewels written beside Sophie’s name, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.


    She called the general manager of Palm’s Jewels, who promptly invited her to visit thepany.


    Having apanied James to various events, Nichole had made quite a few connections.


    Mr. Donny personally weed Nichole, “Ms. Nichole, it’s our honor to have you intern with us!”


    “Thank you. I remember Palm’s Jewels have always coborated with James, so I wanted to intern


    here and gain some new experience,” Nichole responded wlessly, subtly hinting at her rtionship


    with James.


    Mr. Donny’s face bore a cating smile. Everyone in the industry knew that James always appeared


    with Nichole.


    Rumors were circting that James was about to divorce, all to make Nichole his new wife, and Mr.


    Donny certainly didn’t want to offend the potential futuredy of the Burke family
