Colby was helping Sophie sort out the documents on her desk, casually remarking, "It's better not to go."

Sophie nodded in agreement from the side. She had been incredibly busy lately, not only with the affairs of Russell Entertainment but also with a plethora of tasks for the corporation. The business district had just opened recently, and the corporation had a whole stack of issues waiting for her to handle.

At this time, going for an internship was nothing but a waste of her precious time.

Jenna asked with a puzzled look, "But is it really okay not to do an internship?"

She had studied abroad and was unfamiliar with the domestic internship system, though she had heard from her friends that writing a dissertation after an internship was quite a painful task. Adler responded, "What could go wrong? Just stamp Sophie's papers and that's it. How could a dissertation be too tough for Sophie?"

Out of the four people present, three could stamp Sophie's papers.

*Ding Ding-*

At that moment, a phone rang on the table. Adler rushed over to answer it, and the caller ID showed it was the Dean.

Adler frowned and listened for a few moments before responding with a series of, "What?" "Why?" "Alright then."

After hanging up, Jenna asked, "What's up?"

"The school called, saying that this year's graduate internships will be assigned by the school itself," Adler replied, looking troubled. "I've never heard of the school managing assignments before. What is this, a crackdown on cheating?"

Sophie, half-heartedly tapping on her keyboard, said, "Whatever. Worst case, I'll just slack off at work and play dumb to get through the month."

This month was crucial, and she didn't want to waste it on an internship and assignments.

Adler said, "Just hope you don't get placed with Nichole at the same facility."

Sophie paused her typing and frowned, "Nichole?"

"Nichole?" Jenna was also surprised. "When did Nichole join the graduate program?"

"Mid-term entry, I just found out too," Adler raised his phone.

If the Dean hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have guessed that James had directly enrolled Nichole into the graduate program. It was clearly a case of nepotism.

Sophie seemed much calmer. It was well-known in Devonport that James favored Nichole. This time, to accommodate Nichole, he even broke the rules and sneaked her into the graduate program of Eastwood College, showing how important she was to him.

Still, Sophie clearly remembered that Nichole was supposed to study abroad. Why the sudden change of plans?

Well, since her rebirth, many things from her previous life had shifted, so she wasn't surprised by such anomalies anymore.

Sophie said, "Cross my fingers, I really don't want to intern in the same place as her."

'Ding-'

Sophie's phone beeped. Glancing at it, she noticed was a message from James. [Grandma is visiting tonight. Colt has already gone to pick you up.]

Sophie frowned, looked up at the clock, and immediately stood up.

Adler jumped at her sudden movement, "What's going on?"

"James has sent someone to pick me up. I need to leave right now."

James was a suspicious person by nature. The corporation's new market news was just released, and she had previously purchased that business district land. If she disappeared now, James would surely suspect she was the corporation's secret CEO.

Colby said, "I'll drive you."
