"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 same!"
…
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 accompany her to work.
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.
One day, while in the bathroom, Lina and Renee overheard their colleagues' conversation.
"Who are the new interns?"
"Why do you even care about them?"
"Come on. What's so interesting about them? They look like poor students without any connections. They dress so plainly, like fools..."
"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!"
