After Jane left, Finley was left alone in the alley.
Due to her connection with Haven, she couldn’t move around freely or else she would easily be followed by people on Haven’s side.
As a result, these cats and dogs became her family.
Finley sat cross-legged on the ground with an Orange cat on her lap and a sleeping puppy in her arms, enjoying life.
“Lazybones,” Finley smiled slightly, her eyes crescent-shaped like the moon.
“Finley.”
Suddenly, a familiar voice entered her ears. The tone was full of annoyance and as the footsteps approached closer and closer, the cats and dogs around scattered away unlike when Jane came earlier which was warm and pleasant.
Finley stood up, and her expression changed from relaxation to alertness.
“What are you doing here?”
The person approaching was dressed brightly and beautifully, Haven herself.
But Haven at this moment was different from the cautiousness she showed at the company. Standing in front of Finley, the atmosphere around her was filled with repression and hostility.
Just as Haven was getting off work, she happened to see Jane walking out of this alley. It immediately caught her attention.
She knew that Finley had been staying here these past few days. If she revealed something to Jane, it would likely be detrimental to her future career.
Haven looked Finley up and down. She had never had a good temper when it came to her sister.
“Can’t you dress yourself up nicely? Look at how you’ve become.”
Frowning, Haven covered her nose. This alley was home to a group of cats and dogs all year round, so there was inevitably an animal smell in the surroundings.
“What smell is that?”
Finley swallowed her saliva. Haven was currently in the limelight, and she didn’t have the power to contend with her.
“What do you want?”
Finley’s gaze turned cold. Facing this “uninvited guest,” her previous good mood was completely disrupted.
“You just saw Jane, didn’t you?”
Haven walked around Finley and questioned her.
“Do you know Jane?”
Finley’s pupils contracted. She couldn’t help but think of Jane’s cold temperament in the afternoon. She had to admit that Jane was the most striking beauty she had ever seen.
But it was no wonder that Jane had come to ask about Haven’s affairs.
“Well, you’re quite capable.”
Haven clapped her hands approvingly. “What? Now you’re thinking about surpassing me and climbing up to be my boss?”
“Boss?”
Finley furrowed her brows slightly, surprised by Jane’s background.
“What? Acting innocent now?” Haven’s face turned pale, and she pointed her slender finger directly at Finley. “I warn you, don’t spread rumors about me outside, or I’ll make sure you regret it.”
Finley remained silent. She had been warned by Haven many times with the same words.
Haven was currently in the limelight, and despite some minor setbacks, she was still the hope of the family.
If her career were to be ruined, she would undoubtedly come back to trample on Finley.
“I know my boundaries.”
She lowered her eyes, unwilling to look directly at Haven’s cunning and malicious face.
“Good that you know.” Haven arrogantly lifted her chin. She naturally wouldn’t behave like this in front of outsiders.
With Finley’s current lack of power, unable to contend with Haven, she could only reluctantly agree.
Soon, Haven boasted a few more words to Finley, then turned and left.
Leaving Finley standing alone in place, silently staring at Haven’s receding figure.
Inside Star Entertainment, Jane had just received a notification from above.
In the past two years, talent shows had been popular, and recently, the higher-ups were planning to hold a talent competition as well.
This was a rare opportunity. If the company’s trainees could make a splash, it would be highly beneficial for both the artists and the company.
Therefore, Jane organized an internal competition in the company. If the trainees were not selected in the end, they would be directly sent to participate in the talent show.
The opportunity was rare, and the trainees in the company eagerly signed up.
The internal competition was just the initial screening, but it involved the company’s interests, so it had to be well-organized.
The competition was based on the standards of a girl group, and soon, based on the trainees’ appearance and abilities, the company selected two trainees to go forward.
The next day, just as they were about to head to the competition venue, Jane called out to them from behind.
In order to boost the confidence of the two trainees, Jane had her driver pick them up, cheering them on the way.
“Don’t be nervous. Just perform well when the time comes, just like your usual practice.”
Seeing sweat continuously dripping from their foreheads, Jane wiped it off for them while constantly giving them words of encouragement.
Soon, the car stopped in front of the company organizing the competition. Jane watched them enter before finally letting the driver leave.
These two trainees lived up to the expectations, and they became overnight sensations after the first episode of the show aired.
The footage of Jane escorting them on the road was also exposed, and many people called Jane the “most caring boss.”
“I didn’t expect Jane to treat trainees so gently. I’m so lucky to have her as my idol!”
“Wuwu, they’re so adorable. I became their fan at first sight.”
With the show’s explosion in popularity, the two trainees were thrust into the public eye.
As usual, the content of the first episode was divided into levels, but the requirements for this round were very strict. Despite the competition being more than halfway over, there were still not many people who could achieve an “A” grade.
The trainees held their breaths, eagerly anticipating who would be the first to achieve an “A” grade.
Soon, it was time for the Star Entertainment trainees to go on stage. Because of the name “Jane” associated with them, both mentors and trainees were extremely expectant.
Everyone had already seen the news about Jane inheriting Mike’s position a few days ago. As a result, Star Entertainment had become one of the top companies in the industry.
The two trainees stepped onto the stage, took a deep breath, and recalled the process of their usual practice in their minds. After performing a dance routine flawlessly, there were no mistakes.
Just as everyone anticipated the results, several mentors simultaneously gave both of them an “A” grade.
The mentors who came to participate this time were well-known and talented stars in the industry, and they were also idols in the hearts of many.
Jane sat in her office, watching the tearful expressions of the two trainees on the television screen, feeling deeply gratified.
They had been thanking their families and the company throughout the show, displaying polite and adorable expressions that instantly attracted a large number of fans.
“During this period, the company finally has something good happening.”
Marco announced the results of the two trainees outside, bringing a renewed vitality to the previously lifeless company.
