Chapter 88: We'll Discuss It Tonight

That afternoon, Sean's uncle,

Sophia arrived first; Sean had a meeting at the company.

"Auntie, over here!"

At the upscale restaurant, Sophia entered to find Xavier waving. She nodded and went over to where Vivian was sitting.

"Good evening, Ms. White," Sophia greeted her politely.

Vivian nodded but didn't comment.

Seeing her reaction, Sophia dropped the subject.

asked.

"By the way, I mentioned earlier about wanting you to be the on-set doctor for our production. Have you thought about it?"

Sophia considered this, then smiled."I'm my friend's manager now, but if she's lucky enough to be cast in Ms. White's show, I could definitely take on the role of on-set doctor."
