Chapter 38

Sharon hung her head and had already expecting this outcome. She said in a sad tone, "Sorry, I've dragged you into this mess. Switching models is probably for the best anyway. With all this dirt on me, I might mess up your chances." "But I didn't agree to it. Before I came here, I told Cameron thats long as we can clear up the scandal, you're staying as my model Ophelia replied.

Sharon thought she must've heard wrong. A flicker of hope crossed her face, but it was quickly replaced by a sense of defeat.

She said. "Forget it. There's no way I can take on Starry Media. They've shelved me for years, and if they want to blacklist me now, it's a walk in the park. When the show started picking up steam in the early episodes, they tried to use me to push new talent, and I refused.

"Then, when my contract was up, I decided not to renew. I knew they had dirt on me, but I don't care anymore. How much worse can it get? I'll just quit acting if I have to.

"My respect," Ophelia said. Sharon couldn't tell if Ophelia meant that as a compliment or sarcasm, so she just let it slide. "Well, if that's your attitude, I guess I came here for nothing." Ophelia made a show of getting up to leave, but Sharon stayed glued to her seat, her head still down.

Wait, she didn't leave? Was she disappointed in me just now? Sharon thought to herself. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt this overwhelming urge not to let Ophelia down. She'd been ready to give up and let it all go, but somehow, Ophelia's presence told her she shouldn't just throw in the towel

The truth was, Sharon loved acting-no matter how small the role, she loved it. "You You really believe I'm not that kind of person?" Sharon hesitated to ask.

"I believe you." Ophelia's response came almost instantly. She just said three simple words, but each one hit Sharon like a punch to the gut.

Since last night, everyone around Sharon had already written her off as some backstabbing, ungrateful has-been who ditched her company the second she got famous. After the scandals blew up, not a single person believed she was innocent. But Ophelia stood in front of her, saying she was.

Sharon's eyes reddened, her voice shaking. "So... what do I do now? I've already cut ties with the company, and I don't even have an agent anymore."

"After all these years, you don't have any dirt on the company?" Ophelia asked, raising her eyebrows.
