Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 814 It Shouldn't Be Completely Unfeeling

Selena felt like she'd just been smacked upside the head. She stared at Sophia, totally not expecting her to talk like that.

Sophia was one of Ronald's artists, and Ronald was all about following the rules. But Sophia? She was like a firecracker, bright and blazing.

She acted like she didn't have a care in the world, except when it came to Ronald.

She'd say anything, but when it came to guys, she was clueless.

Selena usually only talked about this stuff with Shelley, so she felt kinda awkward and didn't know what to say.

But Sophia didn't let her stew in it. Once she knew there was nothing going on between Selena and Ronald, she went back to her cocky self. "If you wanna sign me, you gotta show some real effort. You've seen my acting chops, and I don't come cheap. Plus, if I join S.M Corporation, I gotta break my contract with All Star Entertainment. If they come after me, I might be blacklisted for life."

Sophia's contract was personally handled by Ronald, so the penalty was just $200,000.

If Selena wanted to snag her, she'd definitely pay up.

"Are you down to join S.M Corporation?" Selena asked.

"Only if Ronald manages me," Sophia shot back.
