Chapter 319
"I've been working on this project for quite some time... But I ain't doing this for free, they gave me a twenty percent stake. Ms. Bishop... I'll be working at your company from now on and I hope you'll take good care of me." Stephanie replied with a resigned tone, "Gracie, quit kidding me... I just found out about this, and I have no idea how to run a company. Since Sebastian handed it to you and you've got shares, you're the boss too, so you handle it."
"You don't have to do anything... just keep acting and increasing your fame. The more famous you are, the more the company's profits will grow, and we can scout and nurture new talents... Sebastian's got deep pockets for investment and he's not short on cash either. Alright, enough of this, you wouldn't understand anyway.
Just focus on your acting and hone your skills!
I gotta go now."
"Gracie, I'll walk you out."
After Gracie left, Maddie Palmer and Gillian rushed over.
"Steph, you didn't get hurt, did you? God... I was nearly scared to death by that woman!" Maddie said with a bitter smile.
Gillian said unhappily, "Why did you hold me back? If not for you, I would have taken on those two female bodyguards with Steph, she wouldn't have been at a disadvantage."
"Gillian, think for a second. If not for me, you would be in big trouble, you know?
Do you know who that woman is? That's the daughter of the Snider family! Do you know how terrifying the Snider family is? Those who get on Rebecca's bad side are bound to have a hard time!NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Steph has Sebastian backing her, but who do you have? If Rebecca holds a grudge against you, I won't be able to help!
Sebastian is willing to help Steph, but he might not help you! I was trying to protect you."
Gillian frowned, "I can't just sit by and watch Steph get bullied."
"Alright, alright, you're the good guy... I'm the bad guy, I'm heartless!
Seeing her two friends argue because of her, Stephanie quickly stepped in, holding one on each arm, "Stop arguing! Gillian, I know you wanted to help me, it hurts you to see me at a disadvantage, but Maddie is right... she really has your best interests at heart."
Gillian pouted, her eyes reddening.
"I know... I just regret not being able to help you."
"I know, Gillian, we've grown up together, dont I know you well? But Maddie was really right. Think about it, although Rebecca is temporarily suppressed by my Sebastian, from what she just said, she was on top of the world back then, and Sebastian was just a kid!
Just goes to show how powerful she is! Sebastian might just have something temporarily restraining her and keeping her from acting rashly.
Look at Giovanni, he was bullied so badly, and no one dared to help.
Gillian, if you really stood up for me and then she held a grudge... I would be afraid of how she might bully you in the future!
Thankfully, Maddie was smart and stopped you from stepping in."
Maddie said irritably, "And I ended
up being the bad guy! Gracie was there too, and she held back, but you were eager to step in! Do you think you're the only one who cares about Steph and no one else does?
Swno
Gillian took a deep breath and said, "Maddie, I'm sorry... I was really scared just now."
"Hmph, I won't hold it against you! Next time, I won't stop you and let you take the risk, so I don't get blamed!"
