Chapter: 1316
“Rosalynn." Maggie entered the break room to grab some water, offering a greeting to Rosalynn as she sighed while pouring herself a drink.
“Eleanor is so heartless, framing and even killing others. It makes you wonder if famous people are more conniving than ordinary folks, doesn't it?"
Rosalynn pondered for a moment before replying, “Perhaps. The environment we're in shapes our character to some extent. The film industry, especially, is filled with celebrities. If individuals aren't shrewd, they could easily fall victim to bullying and exploitation.”
Maggie nodded in agreement, adding, “Yes, you're absolutely right. Even in our company, people engage in intrigues for certain cases."
Rosalynn contemplated further, “In truth, it's not the scheming itself that's dreadful. What's truly alarming is when people have malicious intentions.
While scheming may carry a negative connotation, a certain level of astuteness is necessary to navigate Life independently and avoid being manipulated by others.
We should strive to be wise, but never to harm or take advantage of others.”
“You make a valid argument." Maggie smiled, acknowledging Rosalynn's point.
Rosalynn chuckled, amused by their conversation.
Just then, a delivery worker arrived with their food.
“Rosalynn's and Maggie's takeout, please sign for it," the delivery worker announced.
The two of them walked to the door and signed for the food order.
It seemed that Brian and Sanford had ordered delivery from Atera Restaurant.
Rosalynn and Maggie exchanged smiles before heading to the lounge to enjoy their Lunch.
“Maggie, will Sanford be picking you up this afternoon to go to his parents'?" Rosalynn inquired.
“Yes. Rosalynn, just thinking about it makes me so nervous that I can't even eat," Maggie confessed, opening the box filled with food and taking a deep breath.
Rosalynn offered a reassuring smile and said, "Don't be nervous.
Everything will be sorted out in the end. Let's eat first. We need to fuel ourselves to have the strength to face this challenge."
It almost felt like a battle without bullets, meeting Sanford's parents. Maggie couldn't help but chuckle at the thought.
Rosalynn opened the box, revealing an assortment of dishes. It seemed like he thought she was a foodie. He had ordered so many dishes for her.
Just then, a message arrived.
“Have you had lunch?" It was from Brian.
