Penelope looked up and met Nina's gaze. "You're going to help me?"
Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, she had seen her fair share of good, bad, and treacherous people. She was not one to easily trust anyone.
But Nina was an exception. Penelope could see that Nina had a good heart. It was thanks to Nina's help that her short videos had gained traction. But in the entertainment industry, talent alone was not enough.
"Nina, it's not that I don't trust you, but I know the rules of this game all too well." Penelope hesitated and then added, "I know your relationship with Nash isn't simple. Even though it's not public, those who know you both would suspect that you're his mysterious wife."
Nina did not deny it. "I am."
Penelope smiled. "Well, you've kept it well hidden. Who would have thought that Nash's secretary is actually his wife?
"But you should know that Miranda is part of Nash's company, as is that newcomer. If you help me, it means you're going against Nash." Penelope was clear about this. "We can't beat them, and it could affect your relationship."
The fact that Nash had not made their relationship public suggested that Nina did not hold a deep enough place in his heart. Even if things had changed, when it came to company interests, Penelope was not sure how Nash would choose. She also was not sure if Nina was genuinely committed to helping her.
Nina was determined this time. In the past, she had offered help because she had the ability to lend a hand. But now she was not willing to sit back and let Miranda think she could be easily bullied.
"How will you know if you don't try?" Nina's eyes were filled with determination. "I know you're not someone who gives up easily. Are you willing to be sidelined? To be a stepping stone for others? That's not the Penelope I know. And I can assure you, Nash is Nash, and I am me. If I choose to help you, I will stand by you. This is an opportunity. If I were you, I wouldn't give up without a fight!"
Penelope was far from willing to give up. She had been very successful, and now she was at a low point.
In this industry, there was no such thing as staying on top forever. Everyone climbed over others to rise, and a moment of laxity could lead to downfall.
