Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 202

Sophie glanced up, her face breaking into a smile. "You need to win the Oscar to bring the maximum influence to my company."

"But with the current power of Russell Entertainment, I couldn't really help you even if I did win the Oscar." Reece's voice was low. "Are you keeping something from me?"

Sophie tightened his belt one final time, causing Reece slight pain. He looked down and watched Sophie had withdrawn her hand, "Wait till you've won the Oscar, then I'll tell you."

"What's going on? Why are you so slow!" The crew member on set was pushing hard. He came over, saw Sophie, and frowned, "Can you do your job? If not, get lost!"

"Is it my fault for being slow? So, should I get lost too?"

Reece's tone was nonchalant, instantly causing the crew member to change his expression. "No, no, Mr. Reece. Let's hurry up with the photoshoot."

Reece didn't move. Instead, he stared at the crew member with a cold gaze. "You insulted her. Don't you think you owe an apology?"

The crew member hadn't expected Reece to take a stand for a junior staff member, but he couldn't afford to offend the hotshot actor of the moment, so he turned to Sophie and said, "I'm truly sorry. I was too heated just now."

"It's okay. Just be mindful next time." Sophie's demeanor was far from that of a junior employee, more like a senior executive.

The crew member was put in his place, puzzled by Reece's behavior and Sophie's status.

Meanwhile—

Nichole returned to her dormitory, only to find that her roommates had banded together to ostracize her.

"Looks like someone got dumped and has nowhere to go, huh?"

"Remember when she lied about her boyfriend being some big-shot businessman? Turns out she was just being kept by someone, hilarious."

Krystal and Tina took turns mocking her, a stark contrast to the previous flattery and adulation from the dorm's occupants.
