Chapter 87
The real Emilio would’ve preferred to clink glasses of wine with hot girls than waste time and energy on an insignificant assistant.
Emilio introduced Lindsey to many celebrities, making sure to put in a good word for her each time.
Seeing that Emilio treated Lindsey so differently, as well as witnessing how she handled the farce earlier with so much class, the other guests all looked at her with newfound respect.
Lynne watched Lindsey chat with those big shots from afar, feeling quite proud of her apprentice.
However, at the same time, she felt a bit sad.
Maybe Lindsey was really different from her…
Maybe this girl could take a different path-a path that’d eventually lead her to success.
It was almost midnight by the time the party ended.
Lindsey’s tense nerves finally relaxed.
She exited the hall side by side with Lynne.
“Lindsey, I’m going to quit,” Lynne suddenly said with a tired but resigned smile.
“What? Why?” Lindsey stopped and looked at her supervisor in surprise.
Lynne sighed, “I’ve been thinking, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m not fit for this industry at all.
I gave it my best shot, but things didn’t work out for me.
It’s time to leave.
”
“But-” Lindsey was extremely reluctant to part with Lynne.
After all, Lynne was her supervisor and mentor, and she had learned a lot from her despite only knowing her for a few days.
“Please don’t ask me to stay.
Maybe leaving isn’t such a bad thing, you know? At my age, work and dreams are no longer so important.
I’m tired, and it’s time for me to enjoy my life.
” Lynne patted Lindsey on the shoulder and spoke earnestly, just like what she did when Lindsey screwed up her first task on her first day to work.
“The entertainment industry is a dog-eat-dog world, and it’s not easy to succeed.
But you’re excellent and capable.
Maybe you’ll make it…”
After saying that, Lynne raised her head to look at the full moon hanging in the sky, her eyes welling up with tears.
“Lindsey, I’ll leave my unfulfilled dream to you.
Don’t let me down, okay?”
“Lynne-”
“Oh, don’t act like we’re never going to see each other again.
”
Lynne rubbed the top of Lindsey’s head playfully.
“Even if we won’t be working together anymore, we can still be friends.
You can always call me if you need anything.
”
Lindsey fought back her tears and nodded bravely.
ALL of a sudden, Lynne pouted.
“Oh, look! Your ‘friend’ is here to pick you up.
”
Stunned, Lindsey looked in the direction of Lynne’s gaze, only to find Domenic leaning against a nearby tree trunk with his hands in his pockets.
The dim moonlight mixed with the dancing shadows of the rustling leaves made him look more mysterious and aloof than usual.
“I should get going.
” Lynne patted Lindsey on the shoulder.
“By the way, I know this is none of my business, but it’s good men Like him are rare.
You should seize this opportunity!”
Lindsey’s ears instantly burned bright red.
After Lynne left with a grin, she walked up to Domenic and looked at him with her bright eyes.
“Mr.
Walsh, why are you here?”
“I figured it wouldn’t be safe if you went back home alone at this hour.
” Domenic stood up straight and took her hand.
“Let’s go.
”
Lindsey felt touched, and she couldn’t take her eyes off him.
His handsome face looked more charming in the moonlight.
In a matter of mere seconds, Lindsey’s mind was filled with naughty thoughts, and her body felt a little hot for some reason.
Seeing that she hadn’t budged, Domenic lowered his head to look at her questioningly.
When their eyes met, Lindsey averted her gaze in a hurry, blushing furiously.
