They arrived at the business dinner on time.
As soon as Reese followed Lukas into the hall, countless gazes were looking at
them.
Reese was not quite used to this feeling of being the center of attention.
After walking with Lukas for a while, she took the initiative to propose, "Mr. Strakovski, I'm a bit tired from
wearing high heels, can | find a place to rest for a while?"
Lukas gave a nod, thoughtfully helping her to a quiet corner with a sofa that didn't have many people.
Reese sat down, and Lukas was enthusiastically pulled over to chat with one of his partners.
She sat quietly on the sofa, took out the cell phone in her handbag, and looked at it twice.
Suddenly, a shrill, mean voice rang out, "You're that Reese!"

She raised her eyes and recognized the person at a glance.
Although she hadn't seen this woman in real life. She was a popular star with a great deal of fame. There weren't
a lot of people who would not recognize her.
Only, it wasn't unusual for Reese to recognized her, but for the other party to recognize Reese, it was a bit
strange.
She looked at her in surprise, "Miss Young, do you know me?"
Rona Young sized Reese up from head to toe, her tone tinged with faint sarcasm. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Like, it's no
wonder she can be a substitute!"
Reese had no idea what Rona Young meant by this.
Her brows furrowed badly. "Miss Young, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Rona smiled sarcastically. "You don't understand my words?"
Reese was on cloud nine, feeling that this popular star was simply inexplicable. She frowned. "Should |
understand your words?"
A coldness flashed in Rona Young's eyes. "I've heard that others call you Little Emily Scholl?"
Reese's face changed, "That is just everyone's recognition of my abilities. Of course, I'm not as good as Emily!"
Rona sneered. "Count on your self-awareness. You probably don't know yet but I'm Emily's best friend!"
Reese froze for a moment, seeming to somewhat understand where Rona's hostility towards her was coming
from.
Her eyes flashed. "Is that so? | didn't know that!"
Rona narrowed her eyes and looked at Reese pitifully. "So, do you know now? | really don't know what exactly Mr.
Strakovski sees in you. You can compare yourself to Emily in that aspect, you know. Emily used to be from
Strakovski Jewelry as well!"
Reese nodded. "I know!"

She thought that Rona meant that she had replaced Emily's position in the company, becoming Emily's
replacement, and being called Little Emily Scholl by outsiders, but her ability was not as good as Emily's. So that
made Rona, Emily's best friend, very unhappy.
Rona bent down, carefully staring at Reese's delicate little face, her tone rather gloomy. "This face, indeed, is
good-looking, but no matter how beautiful, it's still a substitute! Reese, you'd better know your position. You'll
never be able to compare to our Emily!"
Reese felt that she had been touched by the popular star!
She had never felt that she was better than Emily, and besides, why compare herself to others?
Wasn't it good to be yourself?
She was thinking about how to get rid of this difficult popular star.
In the middle of her thoughts, Lukas's voice rang out, and his face was horribly gloomy.
He had just cover when he heard the last part of what Rona said to Reese.
He looked at Rona Young warningly, his voice sinking to the extreme. "Rona, do you not want to be in the
entertainment industry anymore?"
