“What do you think?"

“Patricia is well trained to set up her own company. She has been associated with the entertainment circle for many years and has plenty of experience. She also has a wide network of contacts. She founded a new company and even has investors from Broome. Today, she approached me with a lucrative proposal. She invited the Jenkins family to invest in her company. I discussed the idea with Bill and he readily agreed. Both Bill and Patricia were in agreement that the domestic entertainment circle has flourished in the past few years, and it's not difficult to make good profits. Vivian is only a small star in the Yeez Entertainment. In Patricia's company, she can be groomed to be a great star. Maria, you are simply outstanding. If you are keen to join the acting fraternity..." Julie suddenly shut her mouth

What was she thinking?
