A Film Queen

Chapter 371

Bright and early the next day, Bonnie arrived at the Burnett mansion to pick up Milly. When Milly hopped into the car, she was caught off guard when she saw her ex- assistant, Joy, sitting inside.

“Joy?” Milly exclaimed, a mix of surprise and happiness evident in her voice. “What brings you here? I thought you were just helping me out briefly before?”

Seeing Milly, Joy couldn’t hide her joy either. Her eyes lit up with a smile. “I was only temporary initially, but Mr. Burnett noticed my work and decided to bring me back. And guess what? I got a bump in my salary too!”

She stressed the part about the salary increase, making her point clear.

Laughing, she added, “I need the cash, so climbing back up the career ladder wasn’t such a bad idea!”

Milly, feigning annoyance, arched an eyebrow and huffed. “Ah, so it’s just the money then. I thought you had come back for me. Times have changed, and it’s all about cash now. Quite disappointing to see where people’s priorities lie.”

With her already impressive acting chops and convincing tone, Milly managed to completely throw Joy off, who, despite being slightly older, didn’t catch on to the jest and looked genuinely confused.

Believing Milly was upset, Joy hurriedly clarified, “Boss, that’s not what I was trying to say. It’s great to be back, but I lack formal training as an assistant, and I’m worried I might cause you problems, that’s all… “

“Really, you think of me that harshly? Am I such a strict person? Oh, Joy, you’re really letting me down! To question my genuine intentions like this.”

Joy watched as Milly lowered her head, beginning to dab at her eyes. She instantly grew anxious. Her own eyes began to well up, stumbling over her words. “Boss, I didn’t mean it that way, I… “
