Sophie’s eyes shimmered with sincerity as sheid a bank card and two contracts in front of Reece.


    This card has $500,000, a personal gift from me. One of these contracts is a new private agreement


    between us, and the other is your previous contract.”


    As she spoke. Sophie took Reece’s old contract in her hands and, right in front of him, tore it in half.


    Reece was stu


    stunned


    Sophie continued. “Take your time to look over the new contract. If you don’t trust me, feel free to


    consult aw firm. But if you believe in me. I promise to make you the hottest star within a year”


    Reece, studying the earnest expression on Sophie’s face, hesitated briefly. “Why not promote Corin?”


    After all, Corin was the current star of Russell Entertainment.


    “Corin will soon be out” Sophie stated inly. But the time wasn’t right just yet.


    Reece fell silent for a moment, then asked, “What’s your condition?”


    “Condition?” Sophie looked puzzled as Reece spoke coolly, “Are you expecting me to charm female


    clients for you, or are you looking for something else” Reece didn’t finish his sentence, his gaze shifting


    away.


    Sophie immediately grasped the implication of Reece’s words, her face flushing with indignation. That’s


    not what I meant. I’m not asking you to handle female clients for me, nor am I looking to keep you,”


    Reece pursed his lips, then asked. “Then you…?”


    “If there has to be a condition, Sophie slowly said, “it’s that once you make it big, you can’t leave. You’ll


    always be my artist.”


    “In return, if I can’t make you a star within a year, you’re free to leave without’owing me a dime in


    penalties.


    Reece watched Sophie, trying to gauge the truth in her words.

    Just then, from the kitchen, Gianna called out, “Reece,e help me make apple pies.”


    Reece nced at the kitchen and finally said to Sophie, “I agree.


    Then, he walked into the kitchen..


    Sophie breathed a sigh of relief.


    That evening, Sophie and Reece joined Gianna for dinner. After seeing Sophie off, Reece stood by the


    window at home and dialed a phone number.


    “Hello? Mr. Reece, are you considering joining ourpany?” The person on the other end was very


    polite.


    Reece replied indifferently, “Sorry, I’ve changed my mind.”


    “Mr. Reece, you should think this through. Russell Entertainment isn’t nning tounch your career,


    but we are willing to pay the penalty fee for breaking your contract with them.”


    “Sorry, I’ve made up my mind.” Reece hung up the phone, his mind reying Sophie’s arrival earlier


    that day.


    Although it was just a moment, it made his heart skip a beat.


    “Sophie.” He murmured to himself. Could her words be true?


    Over the next few weeks, while recuperating, Sophie shifted all thepany’s resources to Reece. In


    just a few days, Reece hadnded three movie roles and four advertising endorsements, his poprity


    skyrocketing at an rming rate.


    Upon hearing the news, Corin stormed into thepany and barged into Sophie’s office. Sophie’s face


    remained calm facing his furious eyes


    La Ped mmed den Sonia’s desk. He s shouted. ‘Ms. Sophie, this isn’t fair!”
