“Don’t worry. You have just the right amount of luck,” Zuko reassured Lina as he held her. “Not only do you have
two sets of parents who love you, but you’ll also have one more set that will.”
“Huh?” Lina was confused.
Zuko lowered his head, and his soft lips lightly touched the tip of her nose. “My parents would love you just the

A few days later, Lina and Renee showed up at the film studio project as assistant interns.
Nicholas and Linda, who treated Lina as their own, had arranged for her to stay at the Thompson residence and

They arrived together at the Supremacy Building, which housed the temporary office for the project. While it wasn’t
a landmark building, it held a prominent position in Centrolis’ central business district.
The people there exuded arrogance, looking down on Lina and Renee as mere student interns. They
underestimated them, assuming they were simple and hardworking.
Consequently, they were assigned all the menial tasks—serving beverages, cleaning, collecting parcels, and endless
other miscellaneous jobs.

“Do you think they have boyfriends?”

Lina and Renee were silently listening from the stalls, recognizing the voices of their colleagues.
Among them were Amelia Rich, who was always engrossed in her phone and enjoyed bossing them around, Erin
Lok, who pretended to work when their bosses were around, and Kendal West, known for being mean and playing

“Absolutely! You’re the best!” The other two teased. “Your red lipstick is so bold. Are you planning to flirt with a
wealthy second-generation heir at a bar tomorrow night? Hahaha!”
Lina and Renee finally left the stalls as the peals of laughter and heels clicking faded. They exchanged a helpless
smile.
Renee gritted her teeth. “I can tolerate everything else, but how dare they say I don’t have a boyfriend!?”
Lina smiled mischievously and showed her phone to Renee.
“Hmm?”
“Everything they said is recorded here.” Lina smirked. “We have a grudge, and we’ll make them pay in the future!”
