Violeta asked, "Hmm? Can I look at it?"
"Certainly," Wendy replied.
Wendy rummaged through the papers on the table, finally handing Violeta the profile of the actress.
Violeta opened it and found that the resume was in Elic.
Her eyes skimmed the page and immediately caught the large headshot on the right side. As she flipped through the pages, she saw various candid photos of Violeta from multiple angles, along with her body measurements.
Violeta raised an eyebrow in surprise. It's Lydia?
She chuckled and shook her head. It seemed that fate had once again led her to unwittingly cross paths with someone.
Violeta had no intention of making Lydia an enemy, nor did she want to stand in her way.
Apparently, this was inevitable.
Wendy noticed her reaction and asked, "What the matter? Do you know her?"
Violeta admitted, "I do, but we're not close. She's a senior in my circle."
Wendy didn't press further.
After leaving Reverie Studio, owned by Wendy,
Violeta headed to the hospital to visit Eugene. He looked much better than before.
Violeta mentioned seeing Lydia's profile at Wendy's studio.
"It seems she found a way to make a transition, but we've blocked her path," Eugene said.
Aster was peeling an apple nearby. She chimed in, "Mr. Scott, why can't Lydia act in movie? None of the major directors in Chesia want her, and she's even gone abroad looking for opportunities."
This was something Violeta also wanted to know.
Online rumours circulated about Lydia's blacklisting in the mainstream film industry.
However, none of them were credible.
Eugene, her former manager, would know the truth.
Since there was no one else in the hospital room, Eugene decided to reveal the real story.
"When Lydia first entered the industry, she offended a big shot," he explained.
Five years ago, Violeta was a newcomer, and Eugene was a rookie manager.
They attended the company's annual party.
Eugene was eager to network and build connections. He took her along to toast with the higher-ups.
