Chapter 1086 - 1082: Leaving the Industry Again
To be honest, Sophie Smith’s thoughts really puzzled her."Sophie, I swear, you are definitely the worst and most unsuccessful artist I’ve ever managed." Sunny shook her head.
Sophie felt a bit embarrassed as well, "I’m sorry, Sister Sunny, I ruined your reputation as a top manager."
She said it half-jokingly, half-seriously.
"Come on, what’s the reason for leaving?" Sunny clicked her tongue twice and suddenly clapped her hands, "Sophie, you’re not planning on going home to be a housewife, right?"
Generally, female stars who marry into wealthy families gradually retire from the entertainment industry for a few reasons.
Some wealthy families have conservative views, thinking of actors as mere performers, and if they come out in public too often, it’s considered damaging to their status.
And besides, why would a wealthy lady need to act?
"Is it President Land’s idea for you to leave the entertainment circle?" Sunny probed.
"It has nothing to do with him. He supports everything I want to do. This is entirely my personal choice, Sister Sunny, stop guessing. My mind is made up, I’m sorry."
"Oh,..." Sunny sighed deeply, "There’s no need to apologize, I’ve known your personality for a long time. If you feel uncomfortable in the entertainment industry, then you should leave."
"Thank you, Sister Sunny." Sophie was naturally very grateful for Sunny’s care and understanding, and the two sat together and chatted for a while.
"Tonight, let’s go have a meal together as your farewell ceremony." Sunny proposed.
"Okay." Sophie agreed readily.
Sunny booked several tables at a certain star-rated restaurant, filled with company artists and assistants, making it quite grand. Sophie knew that those people weren’t familiar with her; they came for Sunny’s sake.
Eva Miller sat next to Sophie, looking like she was fed up with her lack of progress.
"Sophie, oh Sophie, look at you. You’ve been in the entertainment industry for so long and haven’t made a name for yourself. At least I, Eva Miller, am an award-winning actress, and you?"
Over the years, the movies, TV shows, and commercials she did could be counted on one hand. The most promising one initially was City of Desire, but it didn’t last long before being banned. The drama produced by Wyatt Sterling received a lot of praise and good reviews during its airing, but at that time, Sophie was already pregnant and gradually faded from public view. The third drama, which was a collaboration with Edward Harrison, hasn’t been aired yet, so it’s unknown how it will be received. But even if it does well, it won’t matter since she has decided to leave the entertainment industry.
Sophie ignored Eva’s mockery; she just felt completely relaxed.
The dinner lasted a long time, and when leaving the restaurant, it was already close to ten o’clock at night. Sophie originally intended to go straight home, but Sunny and Eva seemed to think the night was still young and took a bunch of people to an entertainment club.
Sophie had already informed Asher Land about her plans today, letting him know she’d return home a bit later. He should be understanding, but Eva...
"Eva, second brother called me many times asking where you are, he’s coming to pick you up. You’re in a special situation now, he’s worried."
"What’s there to worry about?" Eva pouted, "I’m just four months pregnant, I haven’t lost my ability to take care of myself."
Eva was determined to party with Sophie all the way tonight, regardless of anything else.
