After Mr. Donny introduced Nichole, he left, and surprisingly, Alexis, who usually looked down on everyone, approached Nichole with a burst of praise. "Graduates from prestigious universities really are different. I'll be counting on you to teach me a thing or two in the future."
Nichole wore a polite smile, but a flash of smugness crossed her eyes.
Sophie couldn't stand to watch this group of sycophants and was about to leave when Nichole suddenly called out to her, "Sophie, I didn't expect to find you interning at this company, too. Would you join me for a coffee after work?"
Alexis glanced from Sophie to Nichole and asked, "Do you two know each other?"
Nichole was about to speak, but Sophie beat her to it, saying, "Not really." Then, she turned and left.
A moment of embarrassment appeared on Nichole's face, but Alexis commented nonchalantly, "She's just relying on her pretty face and doesn't take anyone seriously. I can't stand women like that!"
"Don't be too harsh. Maybe she has her reasons. I remember she had some issues back in school," Nichole said, then suddenly covered her mouth, pretending to have misspoken. "Oh my, why am I even bringing this up?"
Alexis, as if having caught a juicy piece of gossip, hurriedly asked, "What happened? Tell me."
"I don't know if it's true or not, but there were rumors in school that Sophie has a sugar daddy."
"What?" Upon hearing this, Alexis immediately put on a disdainful attitude. "I was wondering why she's so pretty. Turns out she's actually in that line of work."
"I'm telling you this because I see you as a good friend. Please, don't spread it around. Just keep it to yourself."
"Don't worry, I won't say a word and put you in a difficult position," Alexis assured, eager to get on Nichole's good side.
Alexis needed to get closer to Nichole because she was a graduate of Eastwood College and had a connection to James. Not just anyone could get a personal introduction from Mr. Donny.

Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with.
