I took a deep breath, "Sophie, what do you think our relationship is now?"
She hesitantly replied, "Just this kind of relationship, why are you asking?"
"Are we manager and artist, or boyfriend and girlfriend? Whichever it is, your attitude towards me is very poor. Why?"
Sophie was silent for a moment, then said,
"Let's just be friends for now."
"I only want to focus on my career right now, I don't want love to take up too much time."
I laughed. She once vowed to love me for a lifetime.
We had gone through thick and thin together, and even dreamed of retiring from the entertainment circle before we turned 35.
Now our relationship could just be friends.
"I understand what you mean. Then let's end it here."
"I'll have the lawyer quickly sort out our business entanglements."
I sensed Sophie was a bit surprised by my calmness.
"Don't regret it!"
"I couldn't be happier!"
She hung up the phone.
I felt a sense of lightness, but also felt a bit cold.
As expected, I had caught a cold from the chill.
People are more vulnerable when sick. I couldn't help but think of my past with Sophie.
Her round face, big eyes, a look that made people happy at first sight.
I remember the first time I met her. I was knocking on the doors of various film and TV companies with the copyrights of a few unpopular novels I had bought, and happened to meet Sophie who was working as an extra.
I told her, "Your eyes are big, and your smile is especially sweet. You're particularly suited to act in sweet dramas."
She said she had no manager, no company, and could only work as an extra playing maids.
I said I could be her manager.
The two of us worked our way up together. Later, I used the copyright of a novel to exchange for a pretty good supporting role for her.
Sophie thought it was all due to her own efforts, that I was riding on her coattails.
In reality, I have a keen eye for scripts. The reason Sophie could become famous was because of the dramas I chose for her.
She became famous because of me.
Since that's the case, why shouldn't I go make someone else famous? Besides, I already have some resources now, it would be much easier than before.
