Chapter 79 Accompany Me
Sophie returned to the restaurant and turned on the laptop in the establishment.â"What's wrong?
What are you doing?â Ysabelle asked curiously.âIt's nothing. I just received an urgent email that I
need to reply to. Wait for me for a moment.â The laptop was much slower than hers as it took
almost a minute to boot.She swiftly typed a string of code on the keyboard before she found the
surveillance footage of the corridor. Seems like the footage captured was in HD vision. It even has
audio recording, too.After downloading the footage, she sent it to her email and wiped off any trace
of her using the laptop.Once their meal was over, Sophie and Ysabelle went shopping in Monarch
Mall.Ysabelle was trying out clothes inside when Wilma called.âMs. Sophie, we arrived at the same
time Rachel and the others did. However, they chose Rachel.â Wilma sounded sad. âNo need to
worry, though. I'll continue to work hard. I'll definitely find a suitable ambassador!"âl know, don't
worry. I've already found a suitable candidate to be our brand ambassador,â Sophie replied.âWhat?
You already found one? Who is it?" It wasn't that Wilma didn't believe Sophie, it was just that no
one else was willing to be their ambassador so far."Cecelia Lance.â"Who?"*Cecelia Lance.ââl didn't
hear that wrong, right, Ms. Sophie? Cecelia is the newly crowned queen of movies! Her future is very
promising! Will she really agree?â Wilma and her team had been looking for newbies to be their
ambassador and even they had refused.It was why she doubted Cecelia would agree."She'll agree.
Just take care of the matters I told you to handle,â Sophie assured.âOkay.â Even though Wilma was
still doubtful, she knew Sophie's temperament, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions.Rachel
still didn't want to leave after exiting Lorelei's house because she was waiting to laugh at Wilma. I've
been overshadowed by her for a long time in Transfix Cosmetics. It's finally my turn to shine."No
need to feel that bad, Wilma! It's actually good that you didn't manage to invite Lorelei to become
your spokesperson. Nowadays, no one is using Transfix Cosmeticsâ products. You can't even pay
your employees their wages, much less spend an enormous amount of money hiring someone as
famous as Lorelei!â Rachel mocked."That's right! Transfix Cosmetics is over! I think you lot should
quickly find a new job! If you can't work in the same industry anymore, I suggest washing dishes at a
hotel!â one of Rachel's companions mocked.Wilma's face darkened. D*mn you, Rachel!âLook at you,
Rachel, acting all smug. You made your choice, and we're fine with that. There's no need to kick us
when we're down. Besides, it's not over and the winner has yet to emerge!â she retorted.Rachel
sneered, âYou're as stubborn as a mule, Wilma. Even at its best, Transfix Cosmetics couldn't win
against Dream. Now that your company has fallen to its current state, there's no way it'll even catch
up to Dream now!"âThat's right! It's all thanks to Ms. Summers that we have an opportunity to be
part of Dream!"âGive up, Wilma! You'll never make a comeback!"âThanks for your concern.â Wilma
opted to ignore them. I'll never give up until the end!"Have any of you invited a director to shoot
the advertisement?â Wilma asked as she left with her team."Tomorrow's the shooting day, but we
don't have an ambassador or a director! What do we do, Ms. Lineker?"âYeah!"âDream is deliberately
launching a new product on the same day as us! Why do they have to do it on the same
day..."" They're clearly bullying us!"âAll right, that's enough. It's pointless talking about that. Right
now, we just need to focus on our tasks. I believe Transfix Cosmetics will make a comeback.â Wilma
attempted to boost their morale. No matter what happens, I need to keep their spirits up.âYeah!
With Ms. Lineker around, Transfix Cosmetics won't falll"That night, at Cecelia's mansion.Cecelia
actually returned to the country in secret. No one knew she was already back at that moment.When
she saw the languid young woman sitting on the couch playing games, she spoke resignedly.
âYou're doing this on purpose, aren't you, Sophie? I just returned to the country, you know? Can't
you at least spare me a glance?"Is this how you're supposed to treat the youngest person crowned
the queen of movies?Sophie finally raised her head and shifted her line of sight from her phone to
Cecelia. âI'm here to ask you to cast in an advertisement for Transfix Cosmetics.â"l don't want to.â
Cecelia pouted. I refused to be ordered around! I'm not going to star in an advertisement just
because you said so!âBe good, okay?â Sophie coaxed.â"Hmph! You didn't contact me for a long time,
and the moment I come back, you want me to star in an advertisement for your sake. Am I all that's
left to you?"âYou should be glad that you're useful to me at all.â Sophie didn't mince her word.âYou!â
Cecelia pouted again."Don't tell anyone you're going to be involved in Transfix Cosmeticsâ
advertisement yet.""What do you mean? Sophie, do you know how popular I am? I'm the queen of
movies now, you know. All the advertisements I starred in will basically lead to the products selling
out!â Cecelia was confident in herself."Be good, okay?â Sophie furrowed her eyebrows."Donât you
forget that I'm two years older than you, Sophie.â Cecelia was displeased with Sophie's
attitude.Sometimes, the aura a person exuded had nothing to do with their age."Keep me company
tonight, will you?â Cecelia stared at Sophie pitifully.âl have things to do,â Sophie rejected.â I'm
warning you, Sophie. If you don't go to bed with me tonight, I won't star in your advertisement.ââGo
to bed with you? Do you think you're still in a movie, Ms. Lance?â Sophie narrowed her eyes
slightly. Even if we are to go to bed together, I should be the one making that demand!Still, she
originally had no intention of leaving, since they hadn't met each other for a long time."This Lorelei,
sheâs...â Cecelia was utterly speechless. âSo what if she got to star in Dream's advertisement? The
reason she got it in the first place is that I rejected it."She swiped open Twitter and saw the trending
topic about Loreleiâs collaboration with Dream.âWhy do you care about her? You should go and
sleep now. You have an advertisement to shoot tomorrow.â want to accompany you a little longer.
It's been a while since we last met.â Cecelia didn't want to sleep yet.âGo to sleep so tomorrow's
advertisement won't suck.ââFine! Then will you be accompanying me to the shoot?"Even the
location of the shoot for Transfix Cosmetics and Dream was held at the same venue.Since Cecelia
promised Sophie she would keep the job a secret, she arrived at the venue in secret When Wilma
saw Cecelia in the dressing room, her jaw almost dropped.âSheâs Ms. Lineker from Transfix
Cosmetics,â Ceceliaâs assistant introduced.Cecelia stood and stretched her hand out. âHello. I'm
Cecelia Lance, Sophie's best friend.â"Do you understand Transfix Cosmeticsâ current situation, Ms.
Lance?â Even though Cecelia was very popular, she had been staying overseas for a long while. It
was why Wilma was worried if Cecelia knew what was really going on in the country.âWhat do you
mean? Do you think I'm not good enough to shoot for Transfix Cosmetics?â Cecelia furrowed her
eyebrows.Wilma shook her head immediately. âThat's not what I meant.ââThat's all I need to hear. In
any case, you may not trust Sophie enough, but I do.â
