Chapter 87
Just as Leon exited the smoking room, he overheard several nurses complaining as they hurried by.
“What’s up with Ms. Moore? Isn’t she supposed to rest? Why is she so emotional and throwing tantrums? It won’t be easy for us the next few days.”
Leon stopped one of the nurses and asked, “Who were you talking about? Was it Ms. Jennifer Moore?”
“Who else could it be?”
The nurse brushed off his hand and ran off.

Elijah joined the Freeman Group about eight years ago, and Leon worked for him since then. He had no family or friends, and Elijah had provided him with a job. As for Jennifer, she was the first person to smile at him and call him a friend.
To Leon, Elijah was like family, while Jennifer was more than family, someone that he wanted to protect. He had feelings for Jennifer, but he could only keep them hidden and wish her well. However, Leon could not help but feel resentful when he saw Jennifer miserable and even witnessed Elijah chasing after Sheena when Jennifer was critically injured.
Leon clenched his fists as he made up his mind.
After leaving the hospital, Sheena received a phone call. The news that Jennifer had been rushed to the emergency room again brought her great satisfaction. Then, she went to the training base.
Since she had dealt with the manipulative bitch, it was tto move forward with her work.
As she had wrecked her car the night before and had no tto purchase a new one, Sheena had to take a taxi.
The staff members at the base showed her great respect, and the person in charge, Ben, briefed her on the ongoing improvements in facilities and processes. Later, Sheena toured the entire base and found no major issue, believing that the reality show’s rehearsal should be completed and be ready for live broadcasting soon.
A young female staff member’s eyes lit up when she saw Sheena, and she approached her eagerly to request an autograph.
“Ms. Sheena, I watched your dance video. You’re really beautiful. Have you considered joining the talent show this time? You’re my top choice!”
Sheena smiled awkwardly, surprised to have a fan even at her training base. Nonetheless, she politely declined, pushing the notebook away and saying, “I’m sorry, but I’m not a celebrity, and I won’t become one. Signing autographs isn’t my thing.”
Afterward, she walked past the enthusiastic girl and continued her conversation with Ben.
After Sheena walked away, the girl continued to stare at her back, with the starstruck
expression on her face gradually fading. Then, she lowered her head and looked at the notebook with Sheena’s fingerprints on it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSkipping this little incident, Sheena inspected the trainees‘ dormitory and cafeteria. She also requested the roster of 100 potential trainees.
Casually flipping through the pages, she unexpectedly cacross a familiar nand face. Phoebe Chamberlain.
She had been Sheena’s only friend at the orphanage, and Sheena had even borrowed money from Faye because Phoebe was seriously ill. As she could not raise the required medical fees, Phoebe was expelled from the orphanage, and they have lost contact ever since.
Nonetheless, Sheena never expected to find Phoebe’s non the list of audition trainees after several years without contact. It seemed like she had been doing quite well over the past few years.
Seeing Sheena linger on this page, Ben appeared somewhat excited. Quick to please, he asked, Ms. Sheena, is she your close friend? Would you like us to give her special attention?”
Sheena declined, “No need. Showing favoritism wouldn’t be fair to the other trainees, and I believe she wouldn’t appreciate it either.”
Sheena currently had no plans to meet with Phoebe. After all, her current identity was still that of an orphan with no background, which was why Jennifer and the others were struggling to find an actual way to hurt her.
Phoebe was her friend, and Sheena did not want her to get involved or harmed due to their connection.
Then, Sheena closed the roster.
