"Alas..." Hearing the sound of the phone hanging up, Shirley sighed deeply. The bud of hope that had just been sprouted was killed again. Karla was really good at finding an opportunity to interfere with her. Sitting in the office, Shirley put her hand on her forehead and felt struggled.
However, misfortune never came alone. That damn cold and mechanical voice echoed in her mind, "It's really a pity. You've degraded, and your newly upgraded level has returned to zero." Karla seized the chance to humiliate you and you lost again.
"Okay, okay, I know. Just shut up." Shirley knew there was a saying called rise and fall, but why did Shirley feel that her life was always very down? It took her a lot of effort to raise her level, but she was beaten back to where she had been in the beginning.
The investors she had contacted before all withdrew their investment. Some found various excuses to refuse her, which was good. But some made it clear that wherever Karla was, the capital would be there. This made Karla very proud. She hoped that Karla could stop being arrogant in front of her these days.
Shirley had no choice but to find new investors.
"Miss Shirley, I'm sorry. We are not interested in your drama."
"Miss Shirley, the reason why you come to our company for investment is that you want to hit the bottom. But have you ever thought about how much courage I need to invest in your company? If this drama fails, my money will be in vain. I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry. Please go back. We have invested in Karla's new play."
These were the most words that Shirley had heard in the past few days. They all refused her, saying sorry or other similar words to her. In a word, no investment!
At this moment, Shirley felt deeply frustrated. She felt that she had really fallen into a bottleneck this time. Was there really no other way this time? Was he really defeated like this?
She sat on the chair, her hands tightly holding her legs, and her eyes were full of despair and helplessness. Shirley lowered her head slowly and her forehead touched her knees. Not long after, she began to sob. This was the third time she cried since she came here. For the first time, she missed home and was even seen by Samuel. The second time she cried also because she missed home, but the place was her room. But this time, she felt powerless. At this time, the staff had already gone off work. There was only Shirley on the whole floor, so she could cry and vent her anger freely. At this moment, Shirley felt lonely and abandoned. When people were sad, they would think of all kinds of unhappiness, with negative energy bursting.
Could she really not turn the tables this time? But at the thought of the miserable ending of this supporting actress, Shirley felt a chill down her spine. No! She didn't want to end up like this supporting actress. She couldn't be sent to Africa. There must be a way. She would go thought all difficulties.
Just then, she received a message. The name on the screen was A, and the content was, "Shirley, are you free? I've heard about what happened to you recently and I'm a little worried about you. Let's meet at the coffee shop downstairs of your company. I'll wait for you.
Shirley tried her best to recall, and finally remembered that there seemed to be girl named A in the novel, who was the best friend of the original female supporting role. However, the author did not explain her character and appearance in detail, so it was not clear whether the girl was her enemy or a friend. She'd better be alert.
Shirley came to the coffee shop. She didn't know what A looked like, so she had to pretend to look for someone at the door, hoping that A could see herself first. At this time, a girl sitting by the French window of the cafe waved at her.
She walked to the opposite of the girl and sat down, smiling at her, and the other party also returned a friendly smile. Shirley looked at her, but in fact, she was observing her. The girl in front of her looked very ordinary. She was not as stunning as Shirley, and could be remembered at a glance. However, when you took a closer look, you would find that girls' facial features were all very delicate and good-looking. She was wearing a plain white T-shirt and a pair of light colored jeans. Although she wore plain clothes, she gave people a feeling of innocence. Shirley wondered why the previous supporting female role had such a friend. Shouldn't her friends all be some socialite ladies?
It seemed that this girl wouldn't pose a threat to her. Shirley didn't say anything. She was waiting for A to speak.
