Then, she Lifted her head and looked at Vivian in a relaxed way. fivian, you have been in the entertainment industry for quite some time. You should have already gotten used to such situations. Don't you see it? Everyone flocks here, thinking that they can become famous overnight. But what happens to them? A fish eye could never become a pearl,"
Patricia explained elegantly.
