Zuko said, “I’ve looked over the proposal for her, and everything is good to go. I’ve also got people to handle the
details.”
“Renee has been working hard, too,” Toph complained. “I’m going to take her on a vacation when the opening is
over!”
Zuko pouted. He faked a chuckle and left.
Renee had been working hard, but Lina had been covering everything, and she had had to do everything herself. It
was hard for her to show perfectly the capability and quality that the successor of the company should have.
Therefore, Zuko would also take her on a vacation after the opening ended. He wanted to bring her somewhere
further than Toph was bringing Renee!
He smiled as he thought about it. His mood was even better than the weather today. He didn’t even bother with the
driver, and he drove himself.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA week later, the opening of the Thompson Group’s film studio took over the trending topic for the entire week.
With the influence of Sol Entertainment and the Hamerton Group’s Imperial Media, celebrities gathered in fanfare
on the day of the opening. It was crowded.
The national and international media had been waiting outside for a long time, worried about missing it. The
reporters were discussing among themselves.
“I heard that not only celebrities are coming. Even the people from the four major families of Centrolis are here, as
well as the Baker Group!”
“The families have an arranged marriage. How could they not come? Ha! The Thompsons are powerful. Seems like
that Nic, who has converted from his underworld identity, is really good in business!”
“That’s the first grandson of the Hamerons, right? I heard he’s a Count in Southern Aciatic…”
“That’s the Thompsons’ daughter next to him. She’s beautiful! They’re even more good-looking than celebrities
when they walk together!”
“I think the second grandson is more good-looking. He’s always smiling. He’s my cup of tea!”
“Okay, okay, quit talking so much!” one of the older reporters said with a smile. “There’s a press gallery at the
banquet. Go eat after you guys take pictures! Director Thompson promised to serve everyone properly!”
The people cheered.
“Mr. Nicholas is so generous. No wonder his business flourished!”
“I’m talking about Ms. Lina, not Nicholas!” The older reporter laughed. “From the film studio to the planning of the
opening, it was Mr. Nicholas’ daughter, Ms. Thompson, who did it!”
The reporters were stunned. They couldn’t believe that the seemingly weak princess was so capable in her work.

The first part of the banquet was ending.
After the long speeches and a series of performances for the opening, Lina could finally take a breather beneath
the stage.
However, a warm, big hand appeared before she could rest for long.
“I wonder if I can have the honor to have this dance, Mini Director Thompson?” Zuko asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLina smiled as she looked at him. Zuko sat beside her, and she coquettishly leaned her head on his shoulder. She
replied lazily, “You’re calling me like how the people in the office are calling me?”
“You are, after all.” Zuko caressed her head.
Although she had changed her name to Pamela, while Linda would call her Pammy at home, she was more used to
the name Lina.
Moreover, she kept the name Lina to thank Jesse and Melissa for adopting her.
“Tired?” Zuko’s voice was deep. He took a pretty pair of flats out of nowhere. “Change your shoes.”
While Lina was still in a daze, Zuko squatted halfway and placed her foot on his knee.
“No…” Lina blushed and looked around.
People were looking over, and envy filled their eyes.
“You’ve heard of the story of Cinderella, right?” Zuko smiled gently. “I finally understand the feeling of the prince
putting on the crystal shoe for the love of his life himself.”
“What does it feel like?” Lina asked.
“Hmm…” He tried his best to describe it. “It’s precious, and it makes me feel proud.”
Lina was puzzled. “Proud?”
“That’s right.” Zuko leaned over to kiss her forehead after changing her shoes and standing up. “Because… I’m
proud of you!”
