Chapter 192

Michael whispered, “Are you hiding something from me?”

Debra tightened her belt one last notch, causing Michael slight discomfort. He lowered his head and saw she had already withdrawn her hand. “I’ll tell you when you become a movie star.”

“What’s going on? Why is it taking so long?”

The production assistant pushed hard from the side, approaching Debra with a frown. “Can you do your job? If not, get lost!”

“If my actions are slow, does that mean I should leave too?”

Michael’s indifferent tone caused the production assistant to immediately change his expression. “I’m sorry, Mr. Austin. Let’s quickly take the photos,” he said.

Michael remained still, his gaze cold as he looked at the production assistant. “Shouldn’t you apologize?”

The production assistant hadn’t expected Michael to confront him, but he couldn’t afford to offend the popular male artist. He turned to Debra, saying, “I’m really sorry. I lost my temper.”

“It’s okay. Just be more careful in the future.”

Debra’s attitude was far from that of a subordinate; she seemed more like a superior. The production assistant felt defeated. What was wrong with this artist? And what was the deal with this staff member?

Meanwhile, Sheila returned to the dormitory, where her roommates turned against her.

“It seems like someone got dumped and has nowhere to go, right?”

“She claimed her boyfriend was a powerful businessman when he was just a sugar daddy. How ridiculous!”

Carrie and Wendy exchanged remarks. Sheila, once flattered by others in the dorm, now faced only mockery.

“Ding-ding.”

Sheila’s phone rang; the academic affairs director was on the line. The director’s tone was icy. She coldly stated, “All graduate students must intern externally this year. You’ve been absent these days, and the school’s allocated slots are full. Don’t blame me for not reminding you. If you can’t find a suitable internship yourself, you won’t receive your degree certificate. It’s up to you to figure it out.”

With that, the director hung up. Sheila paled.

Back when Juan invested in her, everyone treated her warmly. They never dared to speak to her like this! They knew she was abandoned by Juan, which was why they disregarded her. Glancing at the disdainful looks around her, Sheila clenched her fists silently. No, she couldn’t let it end like this!

In the afternoon, Sheila saw Debra’s name on the internship list for the graduate class. Seeing “Tyson Enterprises” next to her name, Sheila smirked slightly. She called Liam Tyson, the general manager of Tyson Enterprises. He promptly invited her to visit the company.

Having accompanied Juan to various events in the past, she had made connections; those networks could still be useful. Liam personally welcomed Sheila into the office. “Ms. Miles, it’s our honor to have you intern at our company!”

“Thank you. I remember the Tyson family and Juan have always cooperated, so I want to intern here to learn new experiences,” Sheila replied, subtly hinting at her relationship with Juan. Liam smiled to please her. Everyone in the industry knew Juan always brought Sheila along. Rumors circulated that Juan was divorcing to marry Shelia. He didn’t want to offend the future Mrs. Nichols at this critical time.
