Chapter 194
Maeve looked up with a smile. “I need you to become a movie star and bring my company the greatest influence”
“But with the current power of Scott Media, even if I became a movie star, I wouldn’t be able to help you,” Bryce said softly.
“Are you hiding something from me?” he asked in a low voice.
Maeve had just finished tightening his belt, but it was done slightly too sharply, causing Bryce slight pain.
He looked down and saw that Maeve had stopped. She said, “I’ll tell you when you become a movie star.”
“What’s going on? What’s taking so long?”
The stage manager was harshly urging them. He approached and frowned upon seeing Maeve. “Get out if you can’t help!”
“Yes, I’m slow. Should I leave?” Bryce’s tone was indifferent.
The stage manager’s expression changed. “No! Mr. Grant, let’s hurry to the photo shoot.”
Bryce didn’t move but stared coldly at the stage manager. “You insulted someone. Apologize now.”
The stage manager didn’t expect Bryce to take an insignificant employee like Maeve so seriously, but he couldn’t afford to offend the currently popular star. He could only apologize to Maeve, “I’m really sorry. I was too angry.”
“No problem. Just be careful next time.”
Marve’s demeanor made her seem like someone in charge.
The stage manager was put in his place. He wasn’t sure what was happening with them.
Meanwhile, Clara returned to her dormitory, where the other roommates had already united to ostracize her.
“It looks like someone was just dumped, and they have nowhere else to go,” one quipped,
“Remember when she claimed her boyfriend was some high–flying businessman? Turns out, she was just being kept,” another laughed.
Tiffany and Jenny sang the same tune. The room, once filled with flattery, resonated with mockery.
Clara’s phone rang. It was the academic director. Her tone was colder than before as she said, “All graduate students must do their internships. externally. You’ve missed the assigned slots because of your leaves. Don’t blame me if you can’t find an internship and fail to earn your degree. It’s up to you now.”

At that, the academic director hung up, and Clara paled.
When Sergio was still funding her life’s expenses, everyone treated her warmly. Now that she was discarded, she felt that she was nothing
Ignoring the disdainful glances around her, Clara clenched her fists. She wouldn’t let this be the end for her.
Later that afternoon, she saw Maeve’s internship listing in the graduate group. It was with Tomkins Corporation, which was just across from her.
A sly smile crossed Clara’s lips as she rang Rob Tomkins, the General Manager of Tomkins Corporation. Given her previous social circuits with Sergio, she still had valuable connections.
Rob warmly invited her to the company. “Ms. Stewart, having you as an intern with us is an honor!”
“Thanks,” Clara responded as her voice dripped with intent. “Since the Tomkins family has consistently collaborated with Sergio, I thought it an insightful place for an intem to gain some experience.”
Her answer left Rob grinning. Everyone knew Sergio took Clara everywhere. With rumors of Sergio’s impending divorce to make her his official partner, Rob knew he needed to be careful with her.
