Chapter 172
Stephanie was a bit surprised and said, "Teacher, is it that serious?"
Brook replied seriously, "It's even worse than you think! I'm just an acquaintance with her. Our relationship isn't that deep. When she got into trouble back then, everyone stayed away from her. There were only a few who dared to keep in touch with her, for fear of getting involved. I was able to maintain some contact with her privately, but I didn't dare to do it openly. So Stephanie, you still have a chance to back out now."
Stephanie shook her head with a bitter smile, "It's okay, Teacher. I've already promised my teacher, and I won't regret it!"
Brook looked at her with mixed emotions, "The path of life is chosen by ourselves. I've already told you the pros and cons. Since you still insist on doing this, don't blame me later for not warning you." Stephanie replied, "Don't worry, Teacher! You're the first person who taught me acting in my life, so you hold a special place in my heart. I respect you deeply. Even if I'll have a hard time later on, it's my own choice, and I have no reason to blame others."
Brook nodded, "You're a smart girl. I won't say anything more. You guys settle the issue about assistants on your own. How well you can get by in the future is all up to yourselves. There's only so much I can teach you."
Stephanie thanked him, "Thanks for worrying about us, Teacher."
Brook smiled lightly, "Go on, Gillian is waiting for you!"
Brook watched Stephanie leave with mixed feelings, as if he saw his younger self in her.
Back in the days, they were also full of longing for the future of the entertainment industry. But then they realized that in this circle, either you speak with strength, or you speak with connections. But no matter how strong you are, you can't defeat those who have powerful connections.
Those who make it to the end in showbiz are the low-key, powerful actors who know both how to act and how to get along well with others. And those who have strong connections that never collapse. Connections, personality, plus one's own conditions and strength, all are indispensable.
If Stephanie and her friends really want to make it in this industry, they still have a long way to go.
As soon as Gillian saw Stephanie come out, she hurriedly walked over and grabbed her hand, "Steph, what did the teacher say to you?"NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
"He talked about my teacher."
"Ashley?"
"Yeah. He said my teacher had offended many people in the industry before, and that it's not a good thing to have her as my teacher. There might be a lot of trouble in the future."
"Uh, so Steph, what do you think?"
"Since I've already chosen her as my teacher, there's no reason for me to regret it. I'll deal with the future when it comes."
"Don't worry, Steph. You've got your Silver Fox. As long as you get on his good side, he'll protect you in the future."
"Right! Speaking of finding an
assistant, want to discuss it with my Silver Fox. Gillian, you go back to the dorm first. I'm going to give him
Λ
a call." him
"Okay."
Gillian quickly went back to the dorm.
Stephanie found a quiet spot, pulled out her phone and dialed Sebastian's number.
Sebastian didn't pick up until a few rings later, and his cold, emotionless voice came through, "What's up?"
Upon hearing this, Stephanie couldn't help but feel confused.
She didn't seem to have offended him recently, did she? They were still on good terms before, so why's this sudden change in tone?
Suddenly, Stephanie realized she
hadn't
gone to cook for him last
weekend. Feeling guilty, she quickly said, "Silver Fox, I'm sorry!"
Sebastian replied indifferently, "Since when did you, Stephanie, ever do anything wrong?"
