The Years Between Signing and Seeing novel Chapter 408

Stella's eyes instantly lit up. She slapped Suzie enthusiastically on the shoulder. "That's the spirit! Screw the men, don't waste your energy on him. You've fought hard to get where you are. Focusing on your career is the only thing that matters right now. If you ask me, you should just publicly announce that you're 'S-Dream,' ride the hype, and rake in the contracts!"

She lifted her chin confidently.

Instead of answering, Suzie pulled her away from the bustling crowd toward a quieter, dimmer corner of the hall. "Stella, there's something I need to tell you."

Noticing her serious expression, Stella asked worriedly, "What is it? Why the sudden mood drop?"

Suzie carefully explained her recent encounter with Alice and her decision to resign from Timefly Studio.

"I mean..." Suzie frowned, her eyes filled with confusion. "I was already planning to leave eventually, so that's fine. But..." She lowered her gaze, pressing her lips together in disappointment. "It still hurts. Tell me, why would she suddenly act like this? Everything was perfectly fine when we dropped her off at the airport that day."

Suzie looked conflicted. "Stella... he negotiated and secured that contract himself. He was so happy because the profit margins are huge. Plus, he's already giving me a fifty percent cut. I can't just take the whole thing..."

Stella's eyes darkened in thought. After a brief silence, she said firmly, "Look at it this way. If you insist on leaving, he's going to try to make you stay. When that fails, the conversation will naturally shift to the business. You can politely decline once, but if he insists on giving it to you, you take it. Listen to me. Don't be an idiot."

Seeing Suzie still hesitating, she quickly added, her tone practically pleading.
