Chapter 174 

Michael was on track to become a movie star in a few years. Compared to being his boss now, it made more sense for her to partner with him for long–term benefit.

Shelia bit her lip. “I’m sorry. It won’t happen again, I promise. I was just too scared.” 

“After this, we have nothing to do with each other.”
