Hearing this, Mr. Devin snapped back to reality. For the past few days, he had been a nervous wreck over Ricardo''s investment going down the drain, but he hadn''t considered the situation on a deeper level. Now, it seemed that with Burker International pulling out their investment, arge number of trainees had defected to S Corporation, which was coborating with Aldridge Global. The failure of the trainee project had resulted only in the loss of Ricardo''s investment, which clearly indicated someone had set a trap!


    Realizing everything, Mr. Devin had an epiphany. At this moment, Sophie said, "Even if you hadn''t reached out to me, Mr. Devin, I would havee to you."


    "Ms. Sophie, tell me whatever I can do, and I will make it happen!"


    Sophie handed over a contract from her bag to Mr. Devin, saying, "Sign Shirley."


    "What?" Mr. Devin was taken aback, holding the contract in his hands.


    Sign Shirley?


    He had fired Shirley before, so why would he suddenly need to sign her again?


    The contract clearly stated that Shirley was to be signed as a trainee with Aldridge Global. Shirley had already signed it. All that was left was for Mr. Devin to sign and stamp it before proceeding with the legal formalities.


    "But the trainee project is already considered aplete failure. Even if thepany signs Shirley, it''s impossible for her to make a name for herself..."


    The trainee project had already run out of funds, and now only Wendy and Jean remained. In a few days, the project wouldpletely fall apart. Joining the project at this point was like lighting amp in broad daylight- utterly redundant.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Sophie said, "Just sign Shirley. That''s all I promised her I''d do. Whether she can make it or not is up to her own abilities, right Mr. Devin?"


    Mr. Devin quickly grasped the meaning behind Sophie''s words. He nodded and said, "I understand your point, Ms. Sophie. Don''t worry. We can handle this."


    "That''s good to hear." Sophie stood up, saying, "Shirley is eager for this, but currently, Aldridge Globalcks the capability to grant her any resources. I hope you understand what I mean, Mr. Devin." "Don''t worry. Calming the trainees'' nerves is something I can do."


    "Great, then I''ll be leaving. That''s all for today. You can rest easy, Mr. Devin. Your position is secure."


    "Understood! Ms. Sophie, this way, please."


    f.ne


    Mr. Devin politely escorted Sophie out. Wendy witnessed this scene from outside the conference room, seething angrily. Jean added fuel to the fire, saying, "What is Sophie, anyway? I heard James is already engaged to the heiress of the Freeman family. Sophie has lost her Mrs. Burke status, so why does Mr.


    Devin need to be so polite to a mere manager from S Corporation?"


    "Sophie ruined my dream of bing famous!"


    "Exactly! We would have already be famous singers and wouldn''t be here like homeless dogs."


    Jean pulled Wendy''s arm, whispering, "I heard Sophie got to be the general manager because of her ties with ke. Maybe Mr. Burke decided to divorce her after finding out." "What? ke? The CEO of S Corporation, ke?"


    "Yes, it''s ridiculous how lucky Sophie is. First, she married Mr. Burke, and now she''s caught ke''s attention." Jean deliberately said to Wendy, "With your beauty and family background, ke should be interested in you instead."


    "Hmph! Sophie is just using her past connections to hook up with ke. Now that Russell Enterprise is bankrupt, she still struts around like she''s in charge. Does she really think Aldridge Global is afraid of a mere general manager?"


    It seemed like Wendy took the bait,


    so Jean added, "She has her position as general manager all thanks to ke. I heard that all the big names from the entertainment industry and business tycoons will be at the uing entertainment g, including ke. Maybe we should..."


    Wendy''s eyes sparkled with opportunity. If she could meet ke and win his heart, wouldn''t that skyrocket her to fame?


    "You''re right. The entertainment g is an opportunity."


    Jean stared at her pleadingly. "Wendy, could I... maybee with you? I could help you out, like keeping a lookout or something." Wendy raised an eyebrow. "Jean, I know what you''re scheming. Do you really think you belong at that kind of event?"


    Jean''s face fett, but Wendy then smiled and said, "But, considering you''re so well-informed, I''ll make an exception and take you with me. It''ll be good for you to see the world. But


    if you set your sights on my ke, beware. I''ll make sure you regret it!"
