Gwenda, busy preparing the studio, was unaware of Cecilia's troubles. She only learned of Cecilia's contract termination with KG Entertainment when she saw the announcement on the company's official Twitter. Cecilia, who lost her job and regretted it the following day, felt stressed after failing to contact Gwenda. Just as Cecilia decided to reach out, Gwenda called. Relieved, Cecilia answered immediately, fearing Gwenda might hold a grudge.

However, Gwenda merely laughed, saying, "Well, it seems we unintentionally achieved our goal. I was planning to give you two more months, but now our plans need to be accelerated."

Cecilia worriedly asked, "It won't have any impact, would it?"

"No, don't worry," Gwenda reassured her, smiling. "This will only accelerate your path to stardom."

Cecilia sighed with relief. "Thank you, Gwenda."

"No problem! We're a team! Are you free today? Bring your work; I'm taking you to meet someone!"

"Okay," Cecilia readily agreed.

"Great! I'll send you the location. See you!" Gwenda hung up, immediately sending the address. She then changed and prepared to leave.

"Going somewhere?" Olivier's low voice came from behind.

Gwenda, changing her shoes, froze, then turned. "Yes, an important errand. Don't wait up for dinner."

"Alright." Olivier approached, gently ruffling her hair. "Come back early, okay?"

Gwenda blushed. The scene felt like that of a newlywed couple reluctant to part. Clearing her throat, she awkwardly nodded. "Yeah."

"Go on," he said.

Gwenda left under his gaze. After closing the door, Olivier was about to plan his day when his phone rang—an unknown number.

He answered. "Hello?"

"Is this Mr. Olivier Petit? We're from the police station. We have information about the fire at the Decker Hotel… We suspect arson and need your assistance with the investigation."

Olivier's expression hardened. "Yes, I'll be there."

Gwenda and Cecilia met outside the Reed Corporation building.

"Did you bring what I asked for?" Gwenda asked.

"Yes," Cecilia replied, producing a USB drive.

Gwenda examined it, thinking, "This will streamline things." Grinning, she led the way. "Let's go."

Cecilia, confused, followed. "Huh? Where?" she asked, noticing the building. "Isn't this Reed Corporation? Why are we here?"

Gwenda didn't answer, leading Cecilia inside and toward the elevators. Cecilia, impressed by the sophisticated atmosphere, whispered, "Why are we here?"

Gwenda smiled. "Well, our sponsor is here."

"What?"
