Chapter 262

Sylvia knocked softly on Eloise's office door, just as Bella was leaving.

She glanced at Bella but stayed silent.

Eloise turned to Bella and said, "You can leave us now."

Bella hesitated for a moment before obediently nodding and exiting the room.

Once the door clicked shut, Sylvia was ready to explain the situation. But Eloise slammed a folder onto her desk with a loud thud.

"Sylvia! I have to tell you, this is your responsibility, and the studio won't cover for you!"

Startled by the noise, Sylvia stood frozen for a few seconds before recovering her composure. "I'll handle it, I promise," she said, her voice steady.

"Good to hear," Eloise replied, her voice firm.
