The maid stopped and answered, "Madam Pamela is leaving, ma'am."'Grandma is leaving?' thought Corinne.She began fearing for the worst, worried that what Francine did yesterday had scarred Pamela. Just then, she heard her calling her name softly."Corinne."She looked up and saw Pamela walking over slowly to her."Grandma, I heard that you're leaving," Corinne said.Pamela smiled kindly and sighed helplessly. "That's right. I need to go back to your grandfather. That stubborn old man refused to listen, even after he had just had his operation. He doesn't follow the doctor's orders when I'm not around, so I need to go back and keep an eye on him.""I see." Once Corinne knew that was the reason why Pamela had to go back, she knew better than to ask her to stay longer. "Grandma, you have to look after yourself too. Have a safe journey home."Pamela nodded and held Corinne's hand softly. "Corinne, I know you've been through a lot after you married Jeremy. Francine had gone too far
When Tommy parked the car, he received a call. His face immediately looked solemn."I'll be there right away!"He hung up the phone and said apologetically, "Miss Carew, I have an urgent matter to attend to, so I can't go in with you. Please head inside and look for Mister Feldman. Tell him I sent you, and he'll arrange your job for you."Corinne nodded and showed an 'okay' gesture before getting out of the car.Tommy drove off quickly at a fast speed.Corinne watched as the car disappeared. She raised her brow lazily and wondered what this supposed urgent matter was about. 'Did something happen to Mister?'…The subsidiary company under Holden Group was an entertainment agency. Corinne walked into the lobby and informed the front desk of her reason for being there.The receptionist took a look at her and called Mister Feldman to verify."Miss Carew, please follow me." The receptionist then led Corinne to Mister Feldman's office."Miss Carew, Mister Feldman is having a meetin
Corinne smiled faintly. "I am going to work here.""Work here? Aren't you working as a nanny with a rich employer?" Sherlyn asked."My employer seldom comes back home, and there's nothing much to do there. I thought I'd do a part-time job to earn more money," Corinne explained.Sherlyn examined Corinne contemptuously. She sneered when she saw how dreadful Corinne looked just to make more money. "Geez, you need a part-time job to make money? Guess your rich employer isn't paying you a lot."Corinne nodded. "It's not a lot.""What's wrong, Sherlyn? Why are you standing at the door? Aren't you going to take your magazine cover?" a kind middle-aged man's voice came out of the office.Sherlyn looked back and smiled shyly at the middle-aged man. "Mister Feldman, I was just about to leave, but someone is blocking the door.""Blocking the door? Let me see who dares to block your way." Mister Feldman walked out to take a look.He put on a look like he was about to scold his foolish subo
With that thought in Sherlyn's mind, she quickly went in and interrupted their conversation."Mister Feldman, is she looking for a job? Why don't you let her work with me? The position for my assistant is vacant."Mister Feldman looked troubled with that suggestion. "Uhh, well…"Considering Tommy was the one who sent Corinne to him, he did not think it was suitable to let Corinne work as an assistant for a celebrity, a job that required Corinne to take care of another person."Sherlyn, I know you mean well, but I don't think that's possible. Miss Carew here is—""How much is the salary as an assistant?" interjected Corinne.Mister Feldman was baffled by this, weirded out by her demeanor. 'How is she not interested in being a glamorous celebrity and is instead interested in being the assistant to a celebrity?'Sherlyn glanced at Corinne and said proudly, "You can get around four hundred fifty to six hundred dollars per month if you work as my assistant. Don't worry, I'm not going
Sherlyn gave Corinne a look. Just as she was about to scold Corinne again, the ringing of her phone stopped her.It was a video call from their father, Marvin.Sherlyn rolled her eyes and waved the phone at Corinne haughtily, showing off. "Look at this. Daddy is calling me! I bet you hardly receive any calls from him at all. It just shows he never cares about you!"Corinne smiled nonchalantly. "If you're not going to pick up, your daddy dearest is going to hang up."Sherlyn snorted. She answered the call and put it on speaker mode, intending for Corinne to hear their conversation.Marvin and Lilliana were on the other side of the call. Both of them looked at their favorite celebrity daughter happily. "Sherlyn, how's work today?" asked Marvin, concerned. "Have you eaten?"Sherlyn pouted and cutely replied, "No, not yet, Daddy. I'm so busy with work that I don't have the time to eat."Marvin frowned. "That's not good. No matter how busy you are, you have to eat. You need to take c
During the shooting for the magazine cover in the afternoon, Sherlyn started her act.She made many requests with Corinne. Either she asked Corinne to buy something for her or asked her to fetch her stuff. She repeated this countless times to torment Corinne.However, Corinne had long expected this from Sherlyn. She was not surprised at all and calmly acted. She had fast legs and treated Sherlyn's torment as a way to train her body.In fact, the pay was not the reason for her to agree to be Sherlyn's assistant. She wanted to see how Sherlyn and Lilliana managed to switch up the situation.According to her understanding and assumption, she believed Sherlyn and Lilliana had done something pretty dirty to achieve their purpose. It would be easier to investigate if she could remain with Sherlyn all the time.The sky had darkened by the time shooting was wrapped up. Corinne did not have the intention to get in Sherlyn's car and was going to hail a cab to head back to the Holdens' estat
After Corinne changed into her prepared attire, Sherlyn nearly burst out laughing.The dress she prepared for Corinne was an ugly-looking floral dress, and it looked as though it came straight out of a shop in the countryside.She blamed Corinne for having a pretty face and was anguished that her bare face looked so clean, pure, and perfect even with no makeup on. If she did not ruin Corinne's look, she was afraid Corinne would steal her spotlight, not to mention catch any rich people's attention.It was what happened with Mister Feldman at his office. He could not take his eyes off Corinne at all!Sherlyn hated Corinne's face ever since they were kids, and having seen Corinne dressed up like a country bumpkin comforted her a little.She complimented sarcastically, "Not bad! I picked this for you. You're going to wear this and go to the party with me!"Corinne looked at herself in the mirror and said, "Thanks. It's quite pretty."The makeup artist had a hard time suppressing her
Suddenly, Sherlyn saw someone she knew among the guests. Her eyes widened as she said, "Corinne, go find a place and stay there. I'm going to talk to a friend. Remember—don't touch anything. You can't afford to pay if you broke it!"Corinne nodded and said faintly, "Yes, I understand."After that, Sherlyn took a glass of red wine and sashayed toward an elegant middle-aged man. She greeted and raised her glass with him. The middle-aged man was happy to see her there. His eyes looked passionate as they chatted in good spirits.Back where Corinne was standing, she took a glass of juice from the buffet table and took a sip to hydrate her throat. Narrowing her eyes, she monitored every movement Sherlyn made.'It's weird that Sherlyn knows someone from here, and they look very close to each other. Something's going on between them. She must've gotten the invitation card to attend this party here from that middle-aged man, too. The middle-aged man must be the reason why Sherlyn could whit
