NovelOnlineChapter 814 It Shouldn't Be Completely Unfeeling Selena felt like she'd just been smacked upside the head. She stared at Sophia, totally not expecting her to talk like that.
Sophia was one of Ronald's artists, and Ronald was all about following the rules. But Sophia? She was like a firecracker, bright and blazing.
She acted like she didn't have a care in the world, except when it cto Ronald.
She'd say anything, but when it cto guys, she was clueless.
Selena usually only talked about this stuff with Shelley, so she felt kinda awkward and didn't know what to say.
But Sophia didn't let her stew in it. Once she knew there was nothing going on between Selena and Ronald, she went back to her cocky self. "If you wanna sign me, you gotta show sreal effort. You've seen my acting chops, and I don't ccheap. Plus, if I join S.M Corporation, I gotta break my contract with All Star Entertainment. If they cafter me, I might be blacklisted for life." Sophia's contract was personally handled by Ronald, so the penalty was just $200,000.

"Are you down to join S.M Corporation?" Selena asked.
"Only if Ronald manages me," Sophia shot back.
"He said that's a no-go." "Then I'm not coming." Selena knew how to play this game, so she turned and walked away. "Then forget it." Sophia was caught off guard and quickly ran after her. "Selena, con, try to convinceagain. As a boss, you can't be this impatient. If I switch over, I'll be sidelined forever. You're really breaking my heart here." Selena stopped and gave her the answer she was dying to hear. "Ronald will manage other artists, but since you'll be in the scompany, you'll get plenty of twith him. I'll make sure he checks out any scripts you wanna do first." Sophia's eyes lit up, and a grin spread across her face. "Alright, alright, Selena, I knew you got me. The penalty's $200,000. Pay All Star Entertainment, and I'll head to S.M Corporation with you right now!" "I'll get the contract ready," Selena said.
Sophia almost jumped for joy but tried to play it cool. "Alright, I'll wait. No rush," she said.
Selena didn't say anything.
Back in the car, she thought about Sophia's behavior and found it kinda funny.
What did it remind her of? Oh yeah, like a kid who grew up too fast and didn't hang out with other kids much.
She was just over twenty but acted like she'd been around forever.
At her age, most people were still in college, right? Selena quickly looked up Sophia's info and found out she didn't get into college but went to a community college. She didn't even finish that before diving into acting.
Selena called Ann and asked her to dig into Sophia's high school years. By the tshe got back to Ashbourne Manor, Ann had sent over the details.
Sophia's family used to be well-off, with her parents running a small business. But in her senior year, they suddenly went into debt.
On the day of the SAT, her parents, trying to dodge debt collectors, got into a car crash and died.
Sophia got the news before finishing the exam and had to handle everything herself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat sday, Ronald moved out, leaving her alone.
Selena glanced at Sophia's partial exam scores, and they were sky-high.
Her usual grades were top of the class. If it weren't for the familym tragedy she would've been the valedictorian. She was only sixteen then. Selena frowned, struggling to match that past with the Sophia she saw tonight.
Logically, someone like that would be a wreck, hiding away at home.
But looking at the info again, her house was auctioned off to pay the debt, and she ended up on the streets. She only signed with All Star Entertainment a year ago. Who knows how she survived those three years.
Selena had a gut feeling Ronald had feelings for her. He was stuck at All Star Entertainment but protected Sophia fiercely. So much so that Selena felt a bit moved after reading all this.
