Chapter 927

Tears welled in Terry’s eyes as he panicked.

Last year, when Cindy was getting popular, she met up with Lucas and did many things to attract his attention. That would’ve been enough reason for Ashlyn to deal with her. Yet, Ashlyn never did. In fact, she joined LX Corporation’s product launch with Cindy. Now that I think about it, Ashlyn has never embarrassed or insulted Cindy. She’s a magnanimous and graceful proprietress, considering she’s even secretly helping and affecting Cindy.

In the past, Cindy always tried to generate scandals and suck up to tycoons. However, she’s changed.

Now, all she wants to do is improve her acting skills and learn more. While her exposure has decreased compared to the past, her acting skills have improved. Only those with excellent professionalism can establish themselves in this industry. At this moment, all I want for Cindy is another chance for her to escape the fate of being blacklisted by the industry and Nolan Entertainment.

Enduring the humiliation, Cindy approached Ashlyn, but she didn’t have the nerve to meet her eyes.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Berry. It’s all my fault. Regardless of what happened, it’s undeniable that I stole your chance to debut this gown. I’m willing to bear any consequences Nolan Entertainment has in mind for me.” Her eyes reddened as she resisted the urge to cry.

I have always admired Ashlyn and am proud to own a picture with the two of us in it. Whenever I think about how she is my employer, I’m filled with passion for my work. Maybe I won’t be able to develop my career in showbiz in the future after being blacklisted or fired. It doesn’t matter to me. I just hope I can earn her forgiveness.

Cindy stood there, upset and in agony. Bitterness swirled in her eyes. I really want to become just like Naomi, standing on the stage accepting a reward. I want to make Nolan Group proud and show Ashlyn that I’m no longer the indolent Cindy who only wants to butter up to moguls. I want her to see that I’m capable as well. Sadly, I’ll never have the chance again.

“What are you afraid of? You’re not the one in the wrong.” Ashlyn’s voice rang out in the silent lobby.

What? My ears aren’t playing tricks on me, are they? Cindy raised her head and stared at Ashlyn.

“What did you just say, Ms. Berry?”

“I won’t repeat myself. Ask your manager.” A look of irritation surfaced in Ashlyn’s eyes. “Where’s Sharon?”

Cassandra, who was standing behind, stepped forward. “I’ll catch her here immediately and break her legs, Boss.”

Upon hearing that, Spencer grabbed her. “You shouldn’t say stuff like that often, Cassandra. It’s unbefitting for a lady.”

In response, she glanced at him with annoyance.

He isn’t even an old man yet, but he’s already nagging me like one. I almost lost my mind on our way here because of him. I still remember the stuff he said. “How are you? Are you an adult? How many people are there in your family? How tall are you? I’m one hundred and eighty-two centimeters. By the way, I’m single. Do you like to cosplay? Why do you like to dress up in lolita clothing?”

God, I almost went berserk. If it weren’t for Boss, I would’ve decked him. Seriously, can’t he stay far away from me? Why does Boss have to make him my partner? I really want to just roar out loud, but I can’t. I need to tolerate him, and it’s so painful.

It was then Spencer dialed someone’s number. After the call ended, he turned to Lucas and Ashlyn.

“She’ll be here soon.”

The lobby was eerily silent. No one dared to make a sound. Every second was agonizing for them.
