SWNOVELS Chapter 24
Chapter 24 A Mystery Guest
When Sophia was in love, her love was deep and intense. But when she quit, she could be very decisive.
Sophia collected her emotions, sent the hair to the hospital, and then drove to Eagle Entertainment.
The minute she got out of the car, she saw George, who wore green floral pants and a yellow shirt. George stood at the entrance, looking gaunt. The security guards stopped him from going in. George made wild gestures excitedly.
He didn’t wear lipstick but had thick foundation makeup on his face. George looked pale. He stood there with his hands on his waist, cursing the security guards. His unpleasant voice was as hoarse as the duck’s.
“I’ve only been gone for one day. How dare you stop me? I can fire you all. Aren’t you afraid of losing your jobs?”
The security guards stood there seriously and replied very calmly.
“Please show me your employee card. Only staff can enter.”
George was pissed off. He walked around with his hands on his waist, gnashing his teeth.
“You are just watchdogs. You’ll regret offending me. I…”
George didn’t finish his words. The security guards stood there respectfully and nodded at the person behind George.
“Ms. Cruise.”

Sophia also nodded and responded in a gentle voice.
“Good morning.”
Sophia walked in, pretending that she didn’t see George. But George stopped her.
George was nervous and flattering. His smile was stiff and fake. There were even wrinkles around his eyes.
“Good morning, Ms. Cruise. I have been waiting for you on purpose the whole morning.”
Sophia smiled casually and stopped walking. Her bright and beautiful eyes were icy.
“Why? Didn’t people who you flattered help you?”
Sophia spoke directly. George’s expression was stiff for a second. But then immediately, he continued to smile flatteringly.
“A friend in need is a friend indeed. Showbiz is cruel. Only Eagle Entertainment can save me now. I want to get my job back. The company and I need each other.
People cursed George online. George was hated by everyone. His home address was found. George had to sleep in the hotel.
As for his work, companies that had wanted to invite him all abandoned him, and George couldn’t get in touch with brands that were close to him. People who used to flatter George all left him.
The small actors that had left Eagle Entertainment with George also left him.
So, George had to come back to beg Sophia.

Sophia chuckled and looked at him indifferently.
“The company doesn’t need you. Your resignation formalities were already done. Go find another job.”
Hearing that, George was anxious.
“Ms. Cruise, I apologize for what I said earlier. I’m sorry. But I have worked at Eagle Entertainment for a long time. Mr. Brant won’t casually fire me.”
George thought that hearing Mike’s name, Sophia would be hesitant.
However, Sophia glanced at him, took out her phone impatiently, and called Mike.
Mike went to the hospital. To recover, he went to have a vacation in Sweetland and let Sophia deal with the company stuff.
Mike answered the phone and mumbled unhappily.
“Sophia, you said that you wouldn’t disturb my vacation…”
Sophia chuckled, “Are you okay with me firing George?”
George paused and wanted to say something. But at that moment, Mike said in an impatient tone.
“Yeah. You are in charge of the company. The signal is bad here. I have to hang up.”
Mike directly hung up.
George’s face was ghastly. It looked like George had lost all his spirits.
Sophia lifted an eyebrow. “Did you hear that? You made the wrong decision. We just did what we should do. Don’t feel so great about

yourself.”
Then, Sophia went into the building. Being stopped by the security guards, George couldn’t get in.
He gritted his teeth and started yelling and cursing with his sharp voice.
“Sophia, what are you so proud of? You are just a woman abandoned by your husband. Don’t you think that I know you manipulated the news and trending topics yesterday? You lost your man and vented your anger on others. No wonder no man wants you!”
George didn’t know the news yesterday had something to do with Pierce. He thought that Sophia paid someone to expose the video to get
back at him.
Sophia didn’t bother to talk to idiots like George.
She directly told the security guards that if George kept making a scene, they should call the police.
The TV show went on well.
The four interns were polite and learned hard. They had pleasing characters and different styles, especially Monica.
When the show started recording, Sophia especially came to attend the
start–up ceremony.
Everyone was there. But the staff said there was a mystery guest not here yet.
They said the mystery guest was a professional dancer in the famous dance theater, Wingley Arts. The guest would be the judge and wear a mask all the time because she didn’t want people to see her face.

The staff worked busily. Seeing that, Sophia walked to sit in the chair aside and waited.
Sounds of high heels came from behind and were getting closer.
Not far away, the director came over and praised the woman.
“It’s our honor that you came. I heard that you dance in Wingley Arts. It’s a world–class dance theater.”
The guest lifted her long hair with a smile. Sophia heard her gentle voice.
“I have been gone for three years. But I like my homeland better.”
Sophia listened seriously. The voice…
She looked back. With no surprise, Sophia saw Emelia, who stood there with a grin and was chatting with the director.
Sophia froze for a moment. Emelia was really everywhere.
Emelia looked over and saw Sophia. Maybe she wanted to disgust Sophia. Emelia walked over and raised a smile. Her voice was tender.
“Ms. Cruise, what a coincidence. You actually sent your interns to the show in person.” –
Sophia sat there expressionlessly, tilted her head, and sized Emelia up. She raised a meaningful cold smile.
“Ms. Wilson, I thought you wanted to hide from people. But you actually dare to show up.
The director just came back to the country and didn’t know what had happened between them. He walked over and spoke.

“Ms. Cruise, this is Ms. Emelia Wilson, the mystery guest recommended by Mr. Morrison. She will be the judge of this competition.”
Sophia thought, “Mr. Morrison? Is it Nolan?”
Nolan’s mother was Alaina Mckay. Sophia remembered that Alaina’s family ran the Mckay Group. Nolan’s father was a famous director, Warren Morrison. Warren was influential in showbiz.
Sophia took a scornful look. “So, the intern who got fired became the judge. Your show seems to be casual.”
The director paused and blinked his eyes blankly.
Emelia looked at Sophia, gloating. She explained with a smile.
“Well, I said I wanted to start as an intern. But it is too much work. I have to take care of the baby, and he doesn’t want me to be tired. So, I’m the judge.”
Emelia covered her mouth and chuckled complacently.
Emelia thought public opinion had ruined her career. But she got a better opportunity.
“Ms. Cruise, don’t worry. Unlike you, I will be fair and treat the participants the same way.”
Emelia took a meaningful look at her acquaintances on the stage, especially Monica. She squinted her eyes. A malicious look flashed through her eyes.
Sophia immediately knew who helped Emelia.
With a smile, she stood up and didn’t even look at Emelia.

Sophia mocked, “If trash can be on the show, then the show will become trash.”
