The next morning, Kimberly slowly woke up when the noon sun shone on her face through the curtains. There was still uncontrollable tiredness on her face.
It turned out that she had been thinking hard last night about how to carry out the promise she had made. By the time she was so tired and fell asleep, she had not been able to clear her head.
She had just woken up and her mind was still not fully awake. As usual, she took out her phone and scrolled through her friends’ Instagram stories. At this time, a message from Helen White attracted Kimberly’s attention.
[Helen White: New story: Love variety show is waiting for you guys to join. We require two people, alongside with the participation of famous variety directors and all kinds of big-name celebrities. For those who are interested, please send me a private message. These two people are required to have good looks and good figures, and between the ages of 20-28.]
Helen was considered a friend of hers. She was a somewhat famous producer and director. At that time, in order to woo Keith, she had specially asked her for help. So with several interaction, the relationship between Kimberly and Helen had also risen from a mutual like in the circle of friends to a friendship where they could occasionally chat.
In her memory, this love variety show seemed to have promoted a few small celebrities. However, because Keith did not participate, her impression of it was not very deep. However, this variety show seemed to be a good opportunity.
[Kimberly said, “Helen, are you there?”]
[Helen replied, “Yes, why? I heard that you and Keith had a fight recently?”]
[Kimberly continued, “Let’s not talk about him anymore. He’s too annoying. I want to participate in that love variety show to change my mood.”]
[Helen said, “Oh, it’s more like a change of taste. I’ll send you an application form. After you finish filling it out, I’ll decide on you.”]
[Kimberly replied, “Thank you, Helen. I’ll treat you to a meal some other day.”]
[Helen continued, “Let’s meet today. How about the restaurant downstairs of my company? I need to tell you more about this event. Otherwise, if you’re not willing and leave halfway, I’ll have some trouble finding someone to replace you.”]
[Kimberly said, “No problem. See you at 1pm.”]
After Kimberly sent the message, she tidied herself up in a good mood. She picked out a black dress from the closet and put it on. When she saw that there was not much time left, she quickly put on some light makeup and drove out.
When she found a parking spot and walked to the restaurant, it was one o’clock in the afternoon. Helen was already sitting there waiting for her.
“Good afternoon, little princess.” Helen, who was wearing a light-brown suit, looked even more energetic. “Did your parents agree to your participation in the variety show?”
Kimberly looked at the menu and casually replied, “Of course, I’ll settle it in advance. I also want to enter the entertainment industry to have some fun.”
“Enter the entertainment industry? It’s just a whim, right?” Based on Helen’s understanding of her over the past few years, she guessed that Kimberly was probably just talking about it. Maybe in two days, she would change her mind again.
“No, why are you like my parents? You said the same thing.” Kimberly ordered a few dishes on her phone and pouted in confusion. “I’m serious, okay? I want to be a career woman.”
Helen shook her head and changed the topic. “What’s going on between you and Keith? Weren’t you close before? I remember you chasing after him. Now that you have him, don’t you like him?”
Kimberly became alert at the mention of this topic. She pondered for a moment and replied, “How should I put it? I realized that he doesn’t really like me. It’s not the kind of love that I want, so I don’t like him anymore.”
“As expected, I guessed that you would be able to see through this phoenix man’s true colors sooner or later. His reputation in the industry is neither good nor bad, but I personally feel that his character might not be too good. It’s just that he’s not very famous right now. If he were to become famous one day, who knows what he would become?”
After hearing this, Kimberly muttered in her heart. He had big ideas and even wanted to murder me for money. In this life, I definitely won’t let him have his way.
She was a little touched. In her previous life, when she was so down and out, everyone was adding insult to injury. Helen was the only one who helped her, and she even apologized to her, saying that she shouldn’t have agreed to introduce the two of them to each other. At that time, Helen was also suppressed to the point that she even sold her house, but she still firmly stood by her side.
Kimberly suddenly felt that her eyes were a little sore. In a muffled voice, she suddenly thanked Helen, “Thank you, Helen. You’re too kind.”
“Ah?” Seeing Kimberly’s sudden tears, Helen was momentarily at a loss, she hurriedly pulled out two pieces of tissue paper and handed them to her. “Did Keith bully you? I don’t think he would dare… or do you really want to enter the entertainment industry? Don’t cry, I’ll help you.”
“No.” Kimberly sniffed and looked at Helen emotionally. “I think you’re very kind. You’ve always helped me.”
“Keith is such a bad person. He only likes my money.”
“My parents said that if I wanted to enter the entertainment industry, they would cut off my source of income. Now, I only have a few hundred thousand in my savings. I have to make a name for myself.”
For Helen, who was born in an ordinary family, a few hundred thousand was already a lot. However, she had worked for so many years and had seen a lot. She knew that for rich people like them who were spendthrift, a few hundred thousand might be gone after a meal. She hesitated for a moment and said, “It’s okay. You’re paid for variety shows. If you really can’t do it, you can stay at my house.”
After much difficulty, she managed to calm Kimberly’s emotions down, the dishes were also served at this time. The two of them began to eat, and at the same time, they chatted about some variety shows. After Helen reminded Kimberly of some things to pay attention to, the two of them went to do their own things separately.
