Lincoln suddenly coughed, his gaze falling on Sky''s hand, which was holding Sierra''s. "Sky, I need to remind you that Ms. Remington is still married. You both need to keep a safe distance."


    Sky immediately released Sierra''s hand when he heard this. "Sorry, I didn''t mean to."


    Sierra clenched her fist, forcing a smile. "Mr. Lincoln, you''re being too sensitive. Sky and I aren''t what you think. I just want to build a life for myself here in Dithoria.<fn3662> This update is avable on find?novel</fn3662>


    "I''m a woman, and aside from everything going on with Samuel, my parents are getting older, so I need to protect them. I want to ensure that my future is secure and stable."


    She met Lincoln''s gaze and decided to be honest. "My parents left me arge sum of money, and Samuel knows about it. He''s refusing to divorce me because he wants Sinir Group and the inheritance my parents left me."


    She paused, then added, "I''m a woman unfamiliar with Dithoria. Money feels like a danger to me, but I can''t just walk away from what my parents gave me. A woman can survive without many things, but not money. I need to protect my parents, myself, and the inheritance.


    "I left Dithoria with Samuel when I was young, and I''ve lived abroad ever since. Here in Dithoria, I don''t have many people I can trust. The only person I''ve known since childhood is Sky.


    "He helped me when we were kids, and I know he''s kind-hearted, warm, and just. That''s why I asked him for help, hoping our childhood connection would count for something."


    As she spoke, her voice softened. "I want to get into the entertainment industry. Once I''m a celebrity, I''ll have a tform. If something happens to me, it won''t go unnoticed. Samuel will think twice before trying anything."


    Lincoln leaned back in hisrge chair, looking at Sierra. "Ms. Remington, is your goal really that straightforward?"


    He had met many women wanting to break into the industry. Some were looking for excitement, some for money, and others for fame. However, Sierra didn''t seem to be after any of that.


    Lincoln could see right through her. She wasn''t interested in fame or money. She was just using Sky as a stepping stone, and hispany as her safety.


    Sierra had ambition, but she had miscalcted. Sky might help her, but Lincoln wouldn''t.


    If Lincoln was going to sign someone, they had to bring something to the table that could make hispany money.


    Sierra was attractive, but not breathtakingly beautiful. She was charming, too, but hispany already housed actresses who were more talented and had simr appearances.


    Lincoln wasn''t in the business of losing money. He might sign Sierra out of respect for Sky, but she wouldn''t necessarily follow thepany''s or her agent''s rules like she imed she would.


    Sierra felt a little guilty under Lincoln''s prating gaze. She lowered her head and stared at her shoes.


    "Ms. Remington, ourpany doesn''t sign married women. Please leave," Lincoln said coldly, directly dismissing her.


    "Lincoln, you''re being too blunt," Sky said, frowning deeply as he nced at Sierra, who looked disappointed. "Can we just have a meal and not talk about business?"


    "I''m busy," Lincoln replied tly. "Let''s skip the meal. When I have time, I''ll treat you."


    "Lincoln," Sky tried again.


    "Sky," Lincoln interrupted, holding up a stack of papers. "I''m really busy. I''m about to go on set, and I''ll be working nonstop for the next six months. After that, there''s more work to do. I''ll be lucky if I get any rest next year. So, Sky, let me handle thepany''s affairs in peace, alright?"


    With that, Lincoln rubbed his


    temples and added, "As for Ms. Remington, I''m not considering


    signing her to mypany righ


    now. Sky, if you really want to help her, you could start your ownagency for her, You can give her the attention she needs and help her with everything, just like you did when you were kids."  s


    After Lincoln finished speaking, he pressed a button on the inte. "Please


    "Yes, Mr. Lincoln," his assistant responded.


    Momentster, Lincoln''s assistant entered, respectfully asking Sky and Sierra to leave.


    Sky was about to say something, but Sierra gently pulled him toward the door. "Sky, let''s not disturb Mr. Lincoln''s work anymore."


    "I can just do something else!" Sierra said, forcing a smile as she tugged Sky out of Lincoln''s office.


    Once they were in the elevator, her smile faltered, and she fell silent, staring at the tips of her shoes.


    "Sierra, don''t worry. We don''t have to get into Lincoln''s entertainmentpany. It''s fine to join one of Walker Group''s subsidiaries instead," Sky said, gently patting her shoulder.


    "I''ll keep my promise to you. It''s just that you mentioned wanting to join Lincoln''spany before, so I brought you here. If you''re willing, joining a subsidiary under Walker Group is fine too. After all, both are under Walker Group, and no one can tell the difference."


    Sierra looked up at Sky, her eyes filled with tears. "Sky, can we really do this?" "Yes, we can," Sky reassured her.


    "Thank you," Sierra said, bowing deeply to Sky. "Thank you so much."


    "Don''t do that, promised you, remember?" Sky said, helping her back up. "Let''s grab some food first, and afterward, we''ll head straight to Walker Group. I''ll have someone from thepanye to get you. By the way, how''s the divorce case with Samuel going? Has Mr. Watson made any progress?"  s


    "I haven''t asked yet," Sierra replied.


    "I''ll check with Mr. Watson when I get back," Sky said.


    Sierra nodded. "Alright."


    Soon, the elevator reached the ground floor, and they exited in the same order they had entered.


    Sierra nced back at Lincoln''s entertainmentpany, which housed hundreds of artists with varying levels of fame. While Walker Group also had many artists signed to them, their recognition was clearly not on the same level as Lincoln''spany.


    When William and Charlotte were in charge, they intentionally paved the way for Lincoln, supporting him while keeping Walker Group''s stake in the entertainment industry small, After Sky took over, he continued that approach-cooperating with Lincoln but avoiding unnecessarypetition.  s


    In Dithoria''s entertainment sector, Walker Group essentially dominated, with the onlypetitioning from Holden Group''s entertainmentpany, which surpassed them.


    Now that Natalie and Marcus were married, the two families had formed a powerful alliance. There was no longer anypetition, only cooperation and mutual benefit.


    That was why Sierra chose Lincoln''s entertainmentpany. She intentionally didn''t suggest Walker Group to Sky from the start. Naturally, she wanted the very best for herself.


    However, Lincoln clearly didn''t view her the same way.
