Chapter 16 Keeping Hitting Dead Ends


    "s..." Hearing the sound of the phone hanging up, Shirley sighed deeply. The bud of hope that had


    just been sprouted was killed again. Ka was really good at finding an opportunity to interfere with her.


    Sitting in the office, Shirley put her hand on her forehead and felt struggled.


    However, misfortune never came alone. That damn cold and mechanical voice echoed in her mind, "It''s


    really a pity. You''ve degraded, and your newly upgraded level has returned to zero." Ka seized the


    chance to humiliate you and you lost again.


    "Okay, okay, I know. Just shut up." Shirley knew there was a saying called rise and fall, but why did


    Shirley feel that her life was always very down? It took her a lot of effort to raise her level, but she was


    beaten back to where she had been in the beginning.


    The investors she had contacted before all withdrew their investment. Some found various excuses to


    refuse her, which was good. But some made it clear that wherever Ka was, the capital would be


    there. This made Ka very proud. She hoped that Ka could stop being arrogant in front of her these


    days.


    Shirley had no choice but to find new investors.


    "Miss Shirley, I''m sorry. We are not interested in your drama."

    "Miss Shirley, the reason why youe to ourpany for investment is that you want to hit the


    bottom. But have you ever thought about how much courage I need to invest in yourpany? If this


    drama fails, my money will be in vain. I''m sorry."


    "I''m sorry. Please go back. We have invested in Ka''s new y."


    These were the most words that Shirley had heard in the past few days. They all refused her, saying


    sorry or other simr words to her. In a word, no investment!


    At this moment, Shirley felt deeply frustrated. She felt that she had really fallen into a bottleneck this


    time. Was there really no other way this time? Was he really defeated like this?


    She sat on the chair, her hands tightly holding her legs, and her eyes were full of despair and


    helplessness. Shirley lowered her head slowly and her forehead touched her knees. Not long after, she


    began to sob. This was the third time she cried since she came here. For the first time, she missed


    home and was even seen by Samuel. The second time she cried also because she missed home, but


    the ce was her room. But this time, she felt powerless. At this time, the staff had already gone off


    work. There was only Shirley on the whole floor, so she could cry and vent her anger freely. At this


    moment, Shirley felt lonely and abandoned. When people were sad, they would think of all kinds of


    unhappiness, with negative energy bursting.


    Could she really not turn the tables this time? But at the thought of the miserable ending of this


    supporting actress, Shirley felt a chill down her spine. No! She didn''t want to end up like this supporting


    actress. She couldn''t be sent to Africa. There must be a way. She would go thought all difficulties.


    Just then, she received a message. The name on the screen was A, and the content was, "Shirley, are


    you free? I''ve heard about what happened to you recently and I''m a little worried about you. Let''s meet


    at the coffee shop downstairs of yourpany. I''ll wait for you.


    Shirley tried her best to recall, and finally remembered that there seemed to be girl named A in the


    novel, who was the best friend of the original female supporting role. However, the author did not


    exin her character and appearance in detail, so it was not clear whether the girl was her enemy or a


    friend. She''d better be alert.


    Shirley came to the coffee shop. She didn''t know what A looked like, so she had to pretend to look for


    someone at the door, hoping that A could see herself first. At this time, a girl sitting by the French


    window of the cafe waved at her.


    She walked to the opposite of the girl and sat down, smiling at her, and the other party also returned a


    friendly smile. Shirley looked at her, but in fact, she was observing her. The girl in front of her looked


    very ordinary. She was not as stunning as Shirley, and could be remembered at a nce. However,


    when you took a closer look, you would find that girls'' facial features were all very delicate and good-


    looking. She was wearing a in white T-shirt and a pair of light colored jeans. Although she wore in


    clothes, she gave people a feeling of innocence. Shirley wondered why the previous supporting female


    role had such a friend. Shouldn''t her friends all be some socialitedies?


    It seemed that this girl wouldn''t pose a threat to her. Shirley didn''t say anything. She was waiting for A


    to speak.


    "Shirley, how are you doing recently? I''ve seen what happened on the Inte recently. I have wanted


    to find you but I''m afraid you don''t have time. But I''m really worried about you, so I can''t help asking


    you out. " A''s face was full of worry, which was not like that of Ka. It could be seen from her eyes that


    she really cared about Shirley.


    "I''ve been in a bad condition recently. I''ve been looking for investors everywhere. As you know, since


    my father fell ill, I have to manage thepany alone. What''s worse, Ka terminated her contract


    with me at this time. Now the cast, director and scripts are all ready, but we don''t have enough money. "


    After confirming that they were friends, Shirley didn''t hide anything and told A all her troubles.


    "What? How could this be? I don''t know you are so difficult now and I can''t help you. What should I do?


    " A looked more anxious than she was and was about to cry.


    "I''m also very upset. The investor didn''t want to invests in ourpany, and Ka deliberately took on


    a drama with the same filming day as mine. The investors all withdrew their investment and turned to


    Ka. I have no choice but to depend on myself now. " Shirley tried her best to hold back her tears.


    Looking at her good friend''s distressed look, A felt very sad. She held Shirley''s hand on the table.


    Although A''s hands were very thin, they were very warm, which reminded Shirley of her friends in the


    real world. She didn''t know how they were doing recently. Did they miss her and worry about her?


    Shirley held her warm hands tightly and swore in her heart that she would protect and cherish this


    friend no matter she could go back or not.


    "Shirley, it seems that you are really trapped by this difficulty. When we were in college, no matter how


    difficult things were, you could solve them perfectly. You were always so confident and proud. " From


    what she said, Shirley knew that the two of them have been friends since they were in college. No


    wonder they would meet friends from all ces and from different families only in college. Only in


    college would they meet friends who were really good to her and knew all about her.


    "Shirley, I believe you. With your ability, you can definitely solve it! I will always support you!" A was still


    holding her hands tightly. From her eyes, Shirley could see firmness and trust.


    "Can I?" Shirley couldn''t help asking herself.


    "I don''t dare to say that to others, but I'', sure you can definitely do it! You are my favorite and admiring


    friend." A''s hand seemed to have magic power. At this time, she felt that there was a steady flow of


    energy passing from A''s hand to her. She felt that she had the ability to solve all problems now.


    "Okay! Thank you so much! If you hadn''t encouraged me this time, I might have given up. " Shirley


    sincerely thanked A. She was the only friend in this world who gave encouragement and warmth to her.


    She chatted with A about all kinds of things that had happened in the university. In fact, most of words


    were said by A. after all, Shirley didn''t know anything about what had happened in their university. So


    she could do nothing but listen and smile.


    After seeing A off, Shirley left the cafe. On her way home, her heavy heart became much better. A was


    really like the sun in her life. After talking with her, Shirley renewed her vigor and decided to continue


    her search for a new investor.


    What Shirley didn''t know was that Samuel usually went home on time, but this time, she didn''t go home


    immediately. Samuel also heard that she had been in trouble with investors, so he was worried about


    her. He drove to thepany to look for her. In fact, when Shirley was crying in the office with her arms


    around her knees, Samuel saw everything through the ss. But he didn''t want to go in andfort


    her, so he had to look at her quietly, thinking that maybe she would be better after crying for a while.


    However, he didn''t know why he would do this. In the past, he always felt that Shirley was domineering


    and unreasonable and he might never take a look at such a woman this life. However, the Shirley he


    saw recently didn''t seem to be as domineering as he thought. She was not invincible as a strong


    woman. She would also be confused and at a loss, just like an ordinary girl who had just entered the


    society. Looking at such a woman, Samuel felt a little strange, and he even had a feeling of hugging


    her.


    Seeing that she received a message and was about to go out, Samuel hurried to stand behind the wall


    to prevent her from finding him. After a while, he walked into the cafe and looked at her silently across


    the street, fearing that she would discover him. He watched her chatting with a girl for a long time. She


    had been depressed, but she gradually cheered up during the chat. Samuel felt a little relieved. At least


    she was not depressed all the time.


    Samuel thought that he didn''t need to worry about Shirley, so he drove home with relief. When Shirley


    came back home, she found that Samuel had already had dinner at the table, and the dishes were


    cooked by the nanny. Hearing that Shirley was back, Samuel didn''t even look up at her. He just said,


    "Have dinner." Then he didn''t say anything.


    Shirleyined in her heart, ''this man is really cold-blooded. I don''t believe that he doesn''t know


    what happened to me recently, but he doesn''t say a word. Yes, I am nothing in his heart, how dare I


    expect him to care about me.''


    She didn''t know why she was so angry. She didn''t eat anything but went back to her room. Anyway,


    she didn''t want to see him.
