Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 152

"Reece?"

The manager pondered carefully, seemingly unable to recall such a person. He said, "Ms. Sophie, our most popular star at the moment is Corin. How about I arrange for Corin to meet you?"

Sophie watched the manager. Although she was smiling, her eyes didn't carry a hint of mirth.

"You have half an hour to have Reece meet me." She left those words behind and went upstairs. The manager gave a subtle signal to his subordinates and followed Sophie.

The employees downstairs looked at each other in confusion. Reece? Wasn't he just a fresh graduate?

But since Sophie had spoken, they had no choice but to immediately contact Reece to come to the office.

Sophie glanced at the office decor, while the manager continued to flatter, "Ms. Sophie, this office was left by the previous CEO, and I had it redecorated just yesterday. Are you satisfied with it?" "It's not bad." Sophie settled into the office chair.

The manager, still smiling obsequiously, said, "Ms. Sophie, Corin is the pillar of our company right now. Are you sure you don't want to meet him?"

Sophie smiled, a smile that made the manager inexplicably nervous.

How could Sophie not know? Corin was just an artist who rose to fame through notoriety. At best, he was a B-list actor with no real talent or capability, just a fairly good-looking face. Yet, such an artist was already considered a top star at Russell Entertainment.

Sophie still remembered how Corin had found a wealthy patroness, and how quickly he had turned against Russell Entertainment, the company that had propelled him to fame. Then, Corin's reputation plummeted due to sleeping with fans, mistreating employees, and engaging in shady contracts. In less than two years, he was blacklisted.

Sophie watched the manager with interest and asked, "It seems you have high hopes for Corin."

"Corin brings in a significant revenue for the company each year. Of course, I favor him."

"Last year, the resources in Corin's hands were mostly funded by the company's own money, yet his performance was hardly outstanding, nor did it bring much prestige or profit to the company. How much did Corin pay you to sing his praises so vehemently in front of me?"

Caught off guard by Sophie's sharp words, the manager nervously swallowed and began to sweat, "Ms. Sophie, you misunderstand, I..."

"Whether it's a misunderstanding can be clarified by checking the accounts."

Hearing this, the manager tensed up again.

To promote Corin, they had indeed spent a considerable amount of the company's money, but Corin still failed to break into the top tier, and the benefits he provided were not proportional to the resources spent.

Sophie leaned back in her chair. It seemed that this Russell Entertainment really was a place that harbored all sorts of misconduct.

Outside, an employee timidly came in, "Ms. Sophie, we've contacted Reece, but he..."

"What about him?"

"He refuses to come."

"Refuses?" This was unexpected for Sophie.

The employee nervously said, "Reece says he won't come unless Russell Entertainment terminates his contract."

Sophie laughed at this statement. "Doesn't he know that would be a breach of contract?"

The employee kept his head down, not daring to speak.

Who knew what that young graduate was thinking? The CEO herself wanted to meet, and yet he was making excuses.

Sophie stood up and said, "If he won't come to meet me, then I'll go meet him."
