Even though the cat was out of the bag when it came to Sophia and Michael’s marriage, it wasn’t like everyone knew about it yet; some of the workers still didn’t know, and everyone gossiped discreetly as they worked at their computers.
“Why isn’t Taylor here even though the company’s going through such an upheaval?”
“I’ve been here a few months already, and I’ve never seen him swing by before.”
“A mere rumor, I guess. How old is Miss Edwards anyway? 22? How could she be married this young?”
Much to their surprise, a surprised cry rang out just after they spoke.
“We’ve got a celebrity here! Come on, they’re at reception!”
Everyone hastily rushed over to the reception area and caught sight of Sophia walking in. She was talking to a gorgeous woman.
“It’s Nicole!”
As the leading actress of ‘War Dragon’, Nicole had climbed up to the top in the local industry with her first major role. Despite being a female protagonist in a movie centered around men, she wasn’t overshadowed by her two co-actors and had opened up a new stage in her career. Ever since ‘War Dragon’, multiple film offers kept coming in for her. As her managing company, Imperial Entertainment did their best to grow her career, accepting many high-quality projects for Nicole. Now, many eyes were on Nicole during her promotions for her second movie as a female protagonist.
When Nicole got to know about Sophia’s troubles with her company, she deliberately canceled some of her promotional activities to visit her. The two women laughed as they stepped into the workplace.
“Yeah, it’s alright now. It’s inevitable that we’ll face some challenges, but it’s all in the past,” Sophia said as they walked. She was rather positive and upbeat about this.
It was Nicole’s first time visiting Sophia’s company. She exclaimed in surprise when she saw the employees. “Everyone here is so young—”
The company’s employees were young and fresh-faced; some of them were only in their early twenties. Young people were filled with determination and were unafraid of anything.
Sophia puffed herself up. “Yep, they’re all young. That’s because young people are filled to the brim with ideas!”
Nicole’s arrival had caused a huge stir. Now that she was a popular actress, she naturally had tons of fans. She stayed at the company for a while, and Sophia got someone to give each employee a photobook of Nicole so that they could get an autograph from the actress.
Everyone was beside themselves with excitement after receiving Nicole’s autograph, and they trotted off back to work happily. It was Sophia’s gift to them.
The employees could not stop talking about this the entire day, for they never thought that they would get to see a film star during their time here; it was definitely worth working for this company! Unexpectedly, there was another surprise the day after Nicole’s visit while everyone was busy with work.
“Taylor and Ethan are here!”
At the sound of that, everyone threw down their work and sneaked over to the reception area to take a look. They could see that the company doors were open; two rows of bodyguards in black lined the sides as the dazzling stars came walking in with big strides. The pair were dressed in the same shirt and the same type of black slacks. One was blond, while the other had black hair. One was the princely type, while the other was wilder and louder. The two of them had completely contrasting styles.
Sophia had already known about Michael’s visit as she came to welcome him in delight. She took a look at him; it seemed that he had come rushing here the moment he stepped off the plane.
“You’re here at last, Uncle! I’ve missed you so much!” Stanley charged over to hug Michael, his emotions running high.
Michael allowed himself to be hugged for a few seconds before smacking Stanley in the face. “Stop your fake worshipping. I’m here to see your aunt!”
He approached Sophia and lowered his head to look at the young girl before him. She was dressed in a professional-looking business dress, and her hair was coiled up on her head. She had the beginnings of a powerful CEO in her. But no matter what, she was still his adorable girl.
“Why are you back?” Sophia asked him the moment she stepped closer.
“I came back because it’s the weekend.”
Sophia still had many things she wanted to say after going through such a huge ordeal, but now wasn’t the time. She lowered her head, a light flush on her face as she took Michael’s hand in hers. “Let’s talk about this in my office.”
