Chapter 157
Linda, however, remained completely unfazed.
A faint smile lingered on her lips as she elegantly lifted her glass, her posture retend as if the conversation was of no concern to her. She didn’t even glance at Flora, nor did she comment on Cole’s
reaction.
That made Flora even more uneasy.
She wanted answers. She needed to know what was going on. But she also knew that prong the matt now, in front of everyone, would only make things worse.
The meal continued, but the atmosphere had shifted.
Cole’s disinterest in Flora was evident in the way he spoke to her… short indifferent and dembele
When she tried to engage him in conversation, he barely looked at her.
Flora: “Cole, did you see the latest Fashion campaign? I heard there is new talent hiring going on every
where*
Cole: “Mm. That so?“* He didn’t even glance up from his plate.
Later, when Flora attempted to compliment him, hoping to draw his attention:
Flora: “Your performance at the last showcase was incredible. Everyone was talking about ”
Cole: “If you say so.“* His tone was flat, as if the topic barely interested him.
Each response chipped away at her confidence, making it painfully obvious… Cole simply didn’t care Charles, on the other hand, seemed pleased with himself, as if he had confirmed something he had been
suspecting.
And Linda…..Linda was simply watching.
Then, halfway through the meal, as if remembering something, Charles suddenly turned to Linda with a thoughtful expression. “By the way,” he said, setting his glass down. “STARLINE Studios is expanding Any plans to try out for STARLINE Studios again?”
Linda finally looked up.
Chapter 157
Her expression didn’t change, but there was something sharp in her gaze, something calculating. She placed her glass down carefully, tapping a single finger against the rim.
“STARLINE Studios, huh?” she murmured.
“Yeah I heard about it..”
Charles chuckled, shaking his head. “I’m just saying, it’d be interesting to see if you could secure a spot this time. You know how competitive it is.”
“Oh, I know.” Linda’s voice was smooth, almost amused. “But competition isn’t really a problem for me, is
it?”
Although Linda had been abroad the other day, she was already well aware of STARLINE Studio’s
expansion.
STARLINE Studio’s technology was cutting–edge, leagues ahead of most competitors.
Entering the company would be a significant boost to her career, opening doors to new opportunities, networking with influential figures, and positioning herself at the forefront of innovation.
However, there was one problem….Nora.
If Nora got in her way, things wouldn’t go smoothly.
Linda’s fingers traced the rim of her wine glass, her expression calm, but a sharp glint flickered in her
eyes. She had worked too hard to let someone like Nora jam her resume.
Across from her, Charles observed her reaction with a knowing smile.
“I ran into a friend yesterday,” he said, his tone casual, yet laced with amusement. “He told me that in
addition to recruiting technicians, Leo is also desperately trying to reach out to some management–level
talents.” He paused, watching Linda’s expression carefully. “As far as STARLINE Studio’s recruitment is
concerned, Leo didn’t reserve any management positions for her.”
The “her” In question was, of course, Nora.
A brief silence followed.
Linda lifted her gaze slightly, her lips curving into a faint smile. “Is that so?” she murmured.
Her heartbeat remained steady, but inwardly, her thoughts shifted rapidly. This was unexpected.
With STARLINE Studio expanding, it would have been the perfect time to arrange a management role for Nora. Given her history of being supported, such a move would have been almost inevitable. Yet, Leo….who was known for being meticulous….had left no place for her.

That could only mean one thing.
Something had shifted between Leo and Nora.
Linda’s mind raced through possibilities. Had they fallen out? Had Leo realized that backing Nora was not as beneficial as it once seemed?
Whatever the reason, it was an opportunity for her.

I still don’t see the regret from her husband and son No divorce yet I would like to see Nora and Cole hooking up together...

What a bad spot for the book to come to an end, I truly do hope there is more to come would be sad to not have a ending to this story........
This page has repeated same story lines that was already said.......
Iam kinda wondering if the writer may speak another language??? Cause iam noting that some of the words kind of seem like another language I could be wrong but every page has a spelling mistake it's making it hard to understand most of what is happening in the book....
Iam loving this book so far but it would have been much better if someone had prof read it 1st there is alot of spelling mistakes some of which I knew what was meant but some I have no clue at all....
