Chapter 276

“Have you found out anything about her background…” A few women were gossiping in the break room at the audition site. One of them suddenly lowered her voice mysteriously. “Don’t you think she looks familiar? She was quite popular earlier this year and was even rumored to be involved with the leader from the Innovate Group”
