Chapter 382

Someone leaned over to Sylvia and whispered, “She's gorgeous. Is she the new talent your family's entertainment company just signed?"

Sylvia beamed with pride. "Isn't she stunning?"

Sylvia scoffed. "Not at all-don't be ridiculous. She's actually a top student at Crestwood University. She's aiming for a research career."

"No way. That's incredible. She's smart and beautiful? I'm so jealous."

One of the guys just stared, completely dazed. "Sylvia, since when did you know such a gorgeous girl? Why didn't you introduce her to us sooner?"
