"So, what do you plan to do later on?" Stephanie asked her.
"What else can I do? Even if I don't act, I won't starve. I'll just be the lady at home." Said Maddie.
"But you got plastic surgery to be more confident in acting, right? And I think you look so natural after it. Your face doesn't look stiff at all." Said Stephanie.
"Yeah, I spent a ton of money and used the best methods. I did get the surgery so I could be more confident in acting...but my parents are afraid I'll get hated on. There was an actress who got plastic surgery and was bullied so badly then she became depressed, and committed suicide by jumping off a building." Said Maddie.
Gillian couldn't help but say, "That's just because she was too fragile! Maddie, being cheeky and with a strong mind, you shouldn’t be prone to depression, right?"
"Ha, who are you calling cheeky?" Said Maddie.
"Seriously though, Maddie...I would regret not having you guys by my side on our future acting journey. Why don't we talk to your dad together?"
Maddie shook her head, "I already had my mom try to persuade him, but it didn't work."
"But isn't your dad trying to get you to cozy up to Steph, the gold mine? Let Steph try talking to him. If that's not enough, have Steph's boyfriend do it himself?" Said Gillian.
Stephanie took a sip of soup and almost spit it out.
"Ha...let's not bother my boyfriend over such a small matter...shall we go and convince Maddie's dad with our sincerity?" Said Stephanie.
"Yeah, it'd be a waste to have your Silver Fox handle such a small thing." Said Gillian.
"It’s okay, you guys! I'll slowly convince my dad...if not now, then someday. Anyway, with you guys around, if nothing else, I could just become your manager!" Said Maddie.
Gillian frowned immediately, "No way! You're even prettier than me after the surgery. I don't want a better-looking manager who'll steal all the attention when paparazzi take photos of me!"
"Hahaha...I like that! So, am I really that pretty now?" Said Maddie.
