Chapter 337

“A hidden agenda? What kind of hidden agenda could I possibly have? Sophie, I know what you’re

doing. you’re trying to drive a wedge between us because you’re jealous of me. I won’t believe you.”

I’m sure Sophie said that because she’s afraid that I’ll become more famous than her. Of course,

Clayton signed the contract with me because I’m talented! Why does he have to spend that much

money if that isn’t the case?

“Sophie, you’ve got to stop spouting nonsense just because you’re jealous. People will look down on

you for that, you know?” Willow said with disdain.

“D*mn, what’s wrong with you? Are you suffering from persecutory delusional disorder? Do you really

think you have what it takes for Sophie to be jealous of you? Why would anyone be jealous of you? Are

you telling me that she’s jealous of your stupidity?” Ysabelle snapped after she couldn’t take it

anymore.

“Come on, let’s go. Don’t waste time talking to her.”

Sophie had to make a trip to TS at once.

“Okay.”

With that, Sophie and Ysabelle left, leaving Willow behind.

There was no way Willow would listen to anything Ysabelle had to say at that point in time.

Then, she took a taxi and went to Sky Media since she still had matters to talk to Clayton about.

All she could think of at that time was to become famous and make Clayton fall for her.

He signed the contract with me because I hold a place in his heart, right? If he’s that fond of me, how

can I possibly let this opportunity slip by?

When she reached Sky Media, however, the receptionist wouldn’t even allow her to go to Clayton’s

office.

“What’s the meaning of this? I’m one of the artists under Sky Media. I want to see Mr. Zales! Is there a

problem with that?” Willow was enraged. They’re clearly looking down on me!

“I’m sorry. Hundreds of women wish to see Mr. Zales every day. We can’t possibly let them all in.”

It was such a daily happening that the receptionists had gotten used to it.

Do these women really think they can seduce Mr. Zales just because they have somewhat decent

looks?

“You—”

In that instant, Clayton walked out with a group of people.

Willow dashed toward him the moment she saw him.

“Clayton, do you mind helping me out? There are a few things that I can’t figure out.” The woman

immediately put on a pitiful look the moment she saw him. The arrogant air she had put on a second

ago disappeared almost instantly.

“Gosh! I can’t believe such a shameless person actually exists!”

“Oh, please! You’ve seen all kinds of people the moment you started working here. What’s the point of

still getting worked up?”

Initially, Clayton was annoyed to see Willow and planned to ignore her, but when he thought about

Sophie, he repressed his impatience and concealed it with an amicable smile.

“Sure, but I’m a little busy at the moment! How about this? Wait for me here, and I’ll explain it to you a

little later,” he said with an exceptionally gentle tone.

“All right. If that’s the case, I won’t bother you for now. Go on. I’ll wait here.” Extremely pleased with

how Clayton treated her, Willow threw a triumphant glance at the receptionists.

At a loss for words, the receptionists could only roll their eyes in annoyance.

She’s obviously a vixen! What does Mr. Zales see in her anyway?

Alas, Willow waited for two whole hours, but Clayton still hadn’t returned as promised.

The few receptionists couldn’t hold back their laughter.

Wasn’t she so smug before this? Where’s her arrogance now? I bet Mr. Zales has completely forgotten

that she’s waiting for him!

Willow looked at her phone as she thought about calling him. However, she was worried that she would

disturb his work and end up upsetting him.

He must’ve forgotten about me because he’s too busy.

She hadn’t even had lunch as she remained at the same spot, waiting for Clayton. Although she

wanted to leave, she was concerned that he might be back after she left.

“Miss, I think you should leave,” said one of the receptionists, who couldn’t bear watching anymore.

Willow glared at the receptionist.

“Mind your own business! You’re jealous of me, aren’t you? What right do you have to ask me to leave

when Clayton told me to wait here?” Willow was dead-set on staying. I don’t care! I’m going to stay

here and wait for him! No matter what it takes, I must let Clayton know about my feelings for him. I

don’t care what price I have to pay. As long as I can get married to a rich man, all the ridicule and

mockery I suffer right now would be worth it!

Entering the entertainment industry was only her stepping stone to marrying into a wealthy family.

That was why she agreed to sign the contract with Clayton without hesitation when she found out that

the latter had the intention of doing so.

“Suit yourself. I’m not the one who’s wasting my time, anyway,” said the receptionist, ignoring Willow

after that.

In actuality, Willow wasn’t the only one who came to Sky Media and waited for Clayton. Countless

people waited to meet him every day.

Most women who came were charming, as they thought they could put their looks to good use and win

the man’s favor.

However, it was merely wishful thinking.

Almost every woman dreamed to get married to a rich man.

However, after seeing so many women like Willow waiting for what turned out to be nothing more than

a damp squib, the receptionists finally understood that not everyone was fated to get married to a

wealthy man.

Meanwhile, Sophie and Ysabelle had arrived at TS.

TS was situated on the most bustling street in Jipsdale. The land was extremely expensive there, and

the rent was ridiculously high.

It was Ysabelle’s first time going there, so she was surprised when she saw how big the building was.

“Sophie, you’d better be honest with me. Where did you get all this money from?”

Words eluded Sophie when she saw her friend’s exaggerated reaction.

What’s wrong with me having some allowance?

“It’s not exactly a lot of money. Besides, these are necessary investments for the artists of TS. I want

the public to be envious of them.” That was why in terms of substantial resources, she must give her

artists the best experience imaginable.

Ysabelle couldn’t help giving Sophie a thumbs-up.

“Sophie, do you really think I can do it?” Ysabelle asked. Ever since she dreamed to become a singer,

she had never wavered. She had always put in efforts to improve herself. Even if she was the daughter

of the Lombard family, she never thought of using her status to achieve her dreams.

However, when she saw how The Wheelers were slandered despite the success of their album and the

popularity of their song, she was no longer sure if she had what it took to become a celebrity.

Most importantly, she wasn’t sure if she could handle such matters.

Sophie stopped in her tracks.

“I can help you with anything, but first, you’ve got to convince yourself mentally. If you think you can’t

do it, you won’t be able to succeed even if I provide you with the best team and resources.” That was

the truth. Although Ysabelle was Sophie’s best friend, she couldn’t help Ysabelle if the latter didn’t

believe in herself.

Ysabelle nodded.

“Okay. I get it. Don’t worry. I’ll take the time to think it through and decide if I really wish to become a

singer.”

Sophie wasn’t fooling around.

TS Entertainment was truly professional.

Sophie was about to go upstairs to look for the manager in charge of public relations when she bumped

into Mark and the others who had walked out of the training room.

“Why are you here, Sophie? Are you here to reward us for our hard work?” Sunny asked excitedly

when he saw her.
