A Night with Her Cruel Mate

Julia didn't respond and gave Consuela a puzzled expression.

"Would you like to take a closer look?" Consuela handed her the magazine. Julia arched an eyebrow at her friend and pursed her lips. "Stop beating around the bush. I don't understand what you're trying to tell me."

Consuela let out a disgruntled sigh and pointed at the article. "No wonder you can't become a famous star. Look at this feature and tell me what his company is."

"Starry Sky Media?" Julia slowly drawled the name with a hesitant shrug. Suddenly, she realized what Consuela was trying to tell her. "You mean to say... Eric is the CEO of Starry Sky Media?"

"Yes, finally!" Consuela groaned with sarcastic joy and rolled her eyes. "You keep telling me that you don't have any resources. Sometimes, I don't understand what's happening in your head."

Julia awkwardly stammered, "I didn't know that he has such a high position. Besides, he's still my friend. I don't want to use our friendship to achieve my goals. It makes me feel uncomfortable."

"Don't be silly," Consuela spat. "If it were somebody else, they would have already asked Eric for a position in his company. I'm sure he would be willing to help you. You don't have to always work so hard, sometimes you just have to take the shortcut."

"I know." Julia bitterly sighed. "But you know me, Consuela. If I really was that type of person, then I would have been famous a long time ago. Although I can't change the way people look at me, the least I can do is challenge myself to become a better actress by working hard."

"Okay, okay, you win," Consuela angrily retorted back, frustrated at Julia's decision.

Neither of them mentioned Eric's name anymore. When they arrived, they separated ways. While Consuela placed Julia's things in the dormitory, Julia headed towards the set.

"Julia, you're finally here." Director Guo came up to greet her. "Hurry up and change your clothes, we'll film your scene later."
