Chapter 75: Pressure from All Sides

As soon as Cecilia mentioned the matter, Sophia remembered what Susie had brought up.

She wordlessly repeated Susie’s project.

Cecilia couldn’t help but vent her frustration:

“They actually approached me with such a lousy play? How ridiculous! Does the young girl not know

the importance of being down–to–earth? Does she think she can climb up by stepping on me?”

Sophia had said a few soothing words, but Cecilia hung up the phone before she had cooled down.

She could only talk to Brycen again, asking him to soothe Cecilia.

That afternoon.

Mike had called Sophia, asking her to go to the office.

This was the first time it was so serious.

Sophia knocked and entered.

Surprisingly, Colin and Susie were both in Mike’s office.

Mike reached out to greet her:

“Ms. Cruise, did you meet Mr. Hamilton?”

“Of course, we had met before.”

Sophia walked over with a smile and sat across from Mike.

Susie stood behind Colin, not sitting down.

A slight smirk played on Colin’s lips:

“This Ms. Cruise you’re looking for has quite a big ego, huh? I invited her over for tea and she refused.

Such a temper, she must look down on me, this Mr. Hamilton!”

Mike chuckled, “If she doesn’t even fancy me, let alone you.”

Colin stiffened slightly, looking at him:

“Mr. Brant, after all these years of friendship, you’re still joking with me like this?”

“Alright, alright, just tell me, why did you have me call her over?”

Mike smoothed things over with a laugh.

Colin had a tense expression:

“Susie had a project that required an actor. Coincidentally, Ms. Cruise was quite familiar with this actor

and wanted her to help. Unfortunately, she refused!”

“I guessed that Susie’s reputation wasn’t enough, so I thought adding you and me should make it

sufficient!”

Mike’s hand paused slightly as he poured the tea, then he looked at Colin with suspicion, his smile

fading away.

“Who was the actor you hired?”

“Are there still actors in the circle that we, Eagle Entertainment, can’t invite? Mr. Brant, can you just tell

me if you can help with this?”

Colin wanted to humor him into agreeing to this matter first.

Mike sat there in silence, not uttering a word.

Time slipped away minute by minute.

Sophia pretended not to know the inside story, leisurely sipping her tea without saying a word.

Susie grew increasingly anxious as she stood, unable to resist giving Colin meaningful glances.

Colin coughed:

“It was Cecilia, Cecilia was also from Eagle Entertainment. Using her was like not letting the water flow

into others‘ fields, let alone we treated her well, it wasn’t like we were mistreating her!”

Mike’s brows and eyes twitched, subconsciously looking towards Sophia.

Sophia hung her head in silence.

Mike pursed his lips, “Let’s drop this matter and find someone else.”

“Why? Couldn’t we invite a guest appearance in the name of the company?”

Susie couldn’t help but speak.

Mike gave her a cold glance, didn’t comment on her impudence, he just said to Colin:

“Mr. Hamilton, for such a low–budget web series, I staked my reputation and the company’s image to

invite Cecilia. I can’t afford to lose face!”

As he spoke, he stood up and said with profound meaning:

“Besides, is this wastewater? It’s sewage, isn’t it!”

Susie’s face turned pale.

“There was no need to risk Mr. Brant and the company’s reputation. Ms. Cruise and Cecilia were

acquainted, it was just a matter of a simple conversation.”

She insisted on dragging Sophia into it.

Sophia could no longer remain indifferent. She had to put down her teacup, and with a detached smile,

she looked at her:

“Oh, I didn’t help.”

She said, standing up and looking at Mike:

“Mr. Brant, I had some other matters to attend to, so I took my leave.”

Mike nodded.

Sophia turned back to look at Susie, opening her mouth to speak with a smile.

“Ms. Wilson, the next time you use my name to arrange a meeting with Cecilia’s agent, remember to

prepare well. I have always contacted her directly.”

Susie’s face darkened considerably, glaring at her with some

resentment.

Sophia left here, her smile deepening, shaking her head.

Oh, the person who didn’t know the depth!

As soon as Susie and Colin left, Susie couldn’t help but complain:

“Mr. Brant didn’t take you seriously at all, and Sophia didn’t care about

me either. It’s clear that they are the ones who call the shots in this company. Where is our place

here?”

A glint of severity flashed in Colin’s eyes, he snorted coldly:

“Don’t worry, I knew how to tame such a thorn in the side.”

In the evening.

Aylen came in, holding an invitation:

“This was delivered by Mr. Hamilton, who said it was a special banquet to apologize for the previous

incident.”

“A feast? A plot, perhaps?”

Sophia sneered, she was no fool: “No.”

Aylen paused:

“The project for that small web series has already been cancelled,” Mr. Brant said. He suggested it was

a gesture of goodwill, reminding

everyone that they were all in the same company and shouldn’t make too much of a fuss.

“Mr. Brant was also attending this banquet, it would be good for you to make an appearance.”

Sophia frowned, would Colin give up so easily?

Why did she always feel that something was not right?

But since Mike had already spoken, her leaving after making an appearance wouldn’t do any harm.

‘Alright, I’ll just make a quick visit, show my face and leave.”

Aylen nodded, then went to respond.

At night.

Arrived at the reserved private room in the club.

Sophia pushed the door open, looked at the people inside, paused slightly, Mike wasn’t there.

Colin had already waved at her, waving enthusiastically with a warm smile:

“Ms. Cruise, come quickly, Mr. Brant was on his way, he was about to arrive.”

Sophia paused for a few seconds before she went in.

The atmosphere inside was simple and harmonious, with a faint scent of agarwood and jasmine.

Susie stood up to pour tea for her, instantly becoming much more humble.

“Ms. Cruise, I was too immature with the previous project and didn’t consider it thoroughly. Having an

international superstar act in such a play was a loss for our company.”

“I had already withdrawn, I hope Ms. Cruise doesn’t blame me.”

Sophia gave a perfunctory smile:

“Ms. Wilson was being polite, it was all for the sake of the company.”

She sat there, just pulled out her phone, and watched as Susie passed

the tea over.

“This was my apology, Ms. Cruise.”

Sophia laughed, but naturally, she would not let her guard down.

“I wasn’t thirsty, let’s wait until Mr. Brant arrives!”

Colin laughed heartily, “You don’t trust us, do you? Suspecting we might drug you? In a society

governed by law, how could we do such a despicable thing!”

He said, taking the cup from Susie’s hand and draining it in one gulp.

Sophia breathed a sigh of relief and began to speak with a smile:

“Mr. Hamilton laughed, ‘I really wasn’t thirsty, how could I doubt you guys?“”

She looked at the WeChat message Mike had sent her on her phone:

“Traffic jam, arrived late.”

She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

However, suddenly, the scent inside the room felt too strong and somewhat uncomfortable.

She wanted to stand up and ask the waiter to change the flavor.

But as soon as he stood up, he felt a wave of dizziness.

She supported herself on the table with a sickly look on her face. watching the two people sitting there

laughing maliciously.

A sinking feeling in my heart, suddenly understanding something

The problem wasn’t with the tea, it was with the scent in the room!

She gritted her teeth and turned to leave.

But Susie had physically stopped her in the past:

“Where were you going. Ms. Cruise? Weren’t you supposed to wait for

Mr. Brant? He was about to arrive!”

She also revealed an innocent smile.
