Chapter 328
"Eve, thank you so much for being so kind to me," the person expressed gratitude. "I'm sorry you had to endure this."
"You don't need to thank me. Anyone who bullies you is basically bullying me too. I naturally have to stand up for my friend and not let the bad guys win," Eve replied.
"I was just venting to you, but you took it to heart. I'm really touched by how you treat me. It's great to have a friend like you," the person said, moved.
Eve had always been like this, sincere in her friendships. She had been pampered since childhood, never experiencing much hardship or the darker sides of human nature. When she heard her friend was being bullied, she immediately wanted to stand up for her, even though it ended up causing her trouble. But she had no regrets. Next time, she would do the same.
"I don't know if you're free lately, but I'd like to treat you to a meal to thank you properly," the person continued.
"I am," Eve replied, lying on her bed. "Anytime works for me, as long as you're available. But there's no need for thanks. We're friends, and friends should help each other."
They talked on the phone for a while longer. The person said a lot of bad things about Nina again, which infuriated her. How could someone stoop so low? After hanging up the phone, she was still too angry to sleep.
Back at home, Nina removed her makeup, took a shower, and put the dress she had worn into the closet. She quite liked it, even though formal attire was typically only worn once. But she felt it would be okay to wear it again next time.
In the bedroom, there was no sign of Nash. She opened the bedroom door and saw him outside talking on the phone. It seemed like he had been chatting for a while.
He noticed her opening the door and put down his phone. "If you're tired, you should go to sleep," he said.
Nina felt like she understood him better today. "Got it," she replied.
She was about to close the door when she suddenly heard the name "Miranda" mentioned. It was a bit of a mood spoiler at this moment, but it also helped Nina calm down. There had always been an unresolved issue between him and Miranda.
Nina turned off her phone and went to sleep without dwelling on it too much.
The next day, when she arrived at the office, she found the air buzzing with chatter. Some were critiquing while others were offering congratulations. Nina was curious about the topic of discussion and managed to catch snippets of conversation.
Seated in front of her computer, she didn't need them to fill her in. The building across the street had already provided the information t resembled the York Corporation building, adorned with towering billboards featuring advertisements
endorsed by Miranda.
Nina did not dwell on it too much and rarely paid attention to Miranda's affairs. Even if Miranda approached or provoked her, she would shrug it off. After all, eventually, Mrs. York's position would fall into her lap.
Yet, she couldn't shake the feeling of
Miranda's presence. The fact that her ads were prominently displayed suggested she held influence in the entertainment industry. Nina chuckled to herself, uncertain why. Perhaps she felt Miranda had
achieved what she desired.
Even if she could not sing anymore, she could switch and become an actress. In her eyes, she was already worthy of Nash. She was practically a shining star now.
"This time we really have to congratulate Mr. York. He has a good eye for people. Although this is Miranda's first film, she picked the right director, and her first film is already so popular!"
"It's not easy for an actress to become popular these days. Miranda has real talent. I heard she even did her own stunts. She looks so fragile, but she can endure so much hardship!"Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
