Yvonne gave a cold snort upon hearing Kiki suggesting a luxury car without any hesitation. Here I thought she was a smart one, but I guess this is all she amounts to. She knew now just how greedy the woman in front of her was with her first demand being a luxury car that was worth tens of millions. Then, she said meaningfully, "That would depend if you can seize the opportunity here. As long as you do that, even a newcomer like you can become a worldwide celebrity." Then, she deliberately used Vania as an example. "Just look at how popular Vania had made Bryan Jones. All it took was four months for a trackless newcomer like him to become a movie star."
Kiki understood what Yvonne meant, but still kept a smile on her face. "But, I don't have such an opportunity. I haven't met anyone that could help me that way."
"True." Yvonne nodded. "With how complicated the entertainment industry is, not everyone is able to make a living here." Tapping the table with her finger, she moved closer to Kiki and said quietly, "But, there is an opportunity right here in front of you. The question is whether you want to take it."
Surprised, Kiki grinned from ear to ear, which showed her intention of accepting Yvonne's offer. "How could I refuse? I've been waiting all my life to have a chance to climb to the top of the ladder."
Yvonne chuckled in disgust. "Even with your silver tongue, you still weren't given any benefits from Vania? It must be hard on you to keep treating her with this much respect."
Naturally, Kiki knew of the feud between Yvonne and Vania. However, since she couldn't fully comprehend why Yvonne had asked for her, she could only lower her head. She said in a slightly aggrieved manner, "Perhaps it's because I'm still not good enough to be noticed by Ms. Greyson."
Clicking her tongue inwardly, Yvonne thought, What an act. No wonder she could fool Vania for a moment there. If only she wasn't so impatient, then she might have already succeeded by now. Before meeting Kiki, she had already investigated just what kind of person Kiki was and what she had done. If she could even go as far as drinking poison herself, she must not be a simple woman.
Seeing that Yvonne had remained silent for a moment too long, Kiki started to feel uneasy. She anxiously asked, "I wonder just what is the opportunity you have mentioned to me, Miss Kepler?"
As impatient as ever, Yvonne thought with disgust. However, she confidently said, "Naturally, it's an opportunity that will grant your heart's desires."
My heart's desires? Kiki didn't know which desire Yvonne was referring to, as she had many desires.
"Seems like your desire knows no bounds. You can't even tell which one to choose from?" Yvonne saw through Kiki's greed in a glance. Although she couldn't win against Vania, she could still see through the heart of a small-time artist like Kiki; she had been in the entertainment industry overseas for many years, after all.
"Haha…" Kiki laughed awkwardly. "That's not true. I was just surprised by what you're offering me. I never thought that the dreams I had for so long would one day be able to come true." Then, she thanked her profusely in an attempt to flatter her. "Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Miss Kepler."
Revealing a look of disgust for Kiki, Yvonne continued, "Don't start celebrating yet. You'd better figure out just what you want out of this opportunity."
Kiki hesitated as she was unaware if Yvonne was still probing her. After all, she wanted to have as much of her desires granted if possible. Nevertheless, she chose to be conservative for now. "It would be the best day of my life if I can be a first-rate superstar in the entertainment industry." As she answered, her eyes were observing any changes in Yvonne's expression. She wouldn't be repulsed by this condition, right?
