When James saw Nina, he said, "Ma'am, what took you so long? I was about to knock on your door." Nina did not mention meeting Wilfred and replied, "I was talking to my chief editor for a while, so it took longer than expected. Let's go." James nodded, but as Nina approached, he caught a faint scent of blood. He sniffed the air. "Ma'am, are you hurt?" "No," Nina said, thinking she might have picked up the scent from Wilfred. "Maybe it's from Nash." James did not question it further, but he noticed the new set of beads on her wrist.

Was it always like this? Nina was puzzled. She had many questions about Wilfred's past, and now she had another mystery. However, she was certain that Wilfred would not harm her.
While on the road, Angel called her. "Nina, Penelope's role has been snatched away." Nina was surprised. "Who took it? How did that happen?" Angel replied, "We don't know. Someone's definitely working against her, and whoever has this kind of power must have significant backing." Nina agreed.

She decided to call Penelope.
"Do you have time? Let's meet," Nina said directly.
"Sure." "Let's go to a cafe," Nina suggested.

Nina, thinking about the newcomer being from Nash's company and connected to Miranda wondered there was favoritism at play.
ve However, due to the competitive relationship, she could not take out her personal frustrations on others. "I'm meeting a friend," Nina said. "Surely, I can still meet my friends, right?" James sensed Nina's mood was not right but did not say more. However, he did report her movements to Nash.
When Nina arrived at the cafe, Penelope was already there. Penelope took off her sunglasses and waved. "Nina, over here."
Nina walked over. Although Penelope tried to appear unaffected, she m looked tired) Nina got straight to the point. "Your role got taken?" Penelope touched her earlobe and said, "Yes, but it's fine. There will be other opportunities."
Nina disagreed. "You can't just let this slide. Someone is targeting you, and you can't be passive about it. You've gained popularity. You need to seize this chance." Penelope gave a bitter smile. "What can I do? I have no powerful backer and no support. I've realized that hard work alone isn't enough in the entertainment industry." Nina looked at her with X determination. "I can help you."
