Chapter 194 Maeve looked up with a smile. âI need you to become a movie star and bring my company the greatest influenceâ
âBut with the current power of Scott Media, even if I became a movie star, I wouldnât be able to help you,â Bryce said softly.
âAre you hiding something from me?â he asked in a low voice.
Maeve had just finished tightening his belt, but it was done slightly too sharply, causing Bryce slight pain.
He looked down and saw that Maeve had stopped. She said, âIâll tell you when you become a movie star.â
âWhatâs going on? Whatâs taking so long?â
The stage manager was harshly urging them. He approached and frowned upon seeing Maeve. âGet out if you canât help!â
âYes, Iâm slow. Should I leave?â Bryceâs tone was indifferent.
The stage managerâs expression changed. âNo! Mr. Grant, letâs hurry to the photo shoot.â
Bryce didnât move but stared coldly at the stage manager. âYou insulted someone. Apologize now.â
The stage manager didnât expect Bryce to take an insignificant employee like Maeve so seriously, but he couldnât afford to offend the currently popular star. He could only apologize to Maeve, âIâm really sorry. I was too angry.â
âNo problem. Just be careful next time.â
Marveâs demeanor made her seem like someone in charge.
The stage manager was put in his place. He wasnât sure what was happening with them.
Meanwhile, Clara returned to her dormitory, where the other roommates had already united to ostracize her.
âIt looks like someone was just dumped, and they have nowhere else to go,â one quipped, âRemember when she claimed her boyfriend was some highâflying businessman? Turns out, she was just being kept,â another laughed.
Tiffany and Jenny sang the same tune. The room, once filled with flattery, resonated with mockery.
Claraâs phone rang. It was the academic director. Her tone was colder than before as she said, âAll graduate students must do their internships. externally. Youâve missed the assigned slots because of your leaves. Donât blame me if you canât find an internship and fail to earn your degree. Itâs up to you now.â
H At that, the academic director hung up, and Clara paled.
When Sergio was still funding her lifeâs expenses, everyone treated her warmly. Now that she was discarded, she felt that she was nothing Ignoring the disdainful glances around her, Clara clenched her fists. She wouldnât let this be the end for her.
Later that afternoon, she saw Maeveâs internship listing in the graduate group. It was with Tomkins Corporation, which was just across from her.
A sly smile crossed Claraâs lips as she rang Rob Tomkins, the General Manager of Tomkins Corporation. Given her previous social circuits with Sergio, she still had valuable connections.
Rob warmly invited her to the company. âMs. Stewart, having you as an intern with us is an honor!â
âThanks,â Clara responded as her voice dripped with intent. âSince the Tomkins family has consistently collaborated with Sergio, I thought it an insightful place for an intem to gain some experience.â
Her answer left Rob grinning. Everyone knew Sergio took Clara everywhere. With rumors of Sergioâs impending divorce to make her his official partner, Rob knew he needed to be careful with her.
