Chapter 299
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Lindsey smiled subtly and greeted the professor with a courteous nod, âPleased to meet you, Professor Pearson.
â
Camille gave Kristy a forced smile and inquired in French, âIs this the executive agent you mentioned?â
Kristy responded in French as well, âYes, this is Lindsey Stewart.
â
Camille scoffed, eyeing Lindsey with a look of disdain.
âI heard you became an executive agent right after graduation.
Which university did you attend? Who is your instructor?â
Kristy, with a faint smile, turned to Camille and said softly, âMs.
Dupont, Iâm not sure Lindsey is fluent in foreign Languages.
Allow me to translate for her.
â
Camilleâs look of disdain towards Lindsey intensified upon hearing this.
Lindsey couldnât even speak another language? She probably wasnât from a prestigious university then.
It appeared Kristyâs assessment was correct.
Lindsey seemed to be someone who relied on connections rather than merit to advance.
âLindsey-â
As Kristy, with her arms crossed, was about to speak, Lindsey cut her off.
âDonât bother, Miss Chase.
I can speak French.
â
Then she turned to Camille and replied in fluent French, âMs.
Dupont, Iâm a graduate of Zrans University, and I didnât have a personal instructor.
â
Camilleâs eyebrows knitted together.
For one, she hadnât anticipated Lindseyâs impressive fluency in French.
Secondly, she wasnât pleased that Lindsey didnât have an instructor.
Typically, while not all college students didnât have personal instructors, it was often the most outstanding students who were selected by professors for specialized guidance.
Given that Lindsey came from the well-regarded Zrans University yet had no instructor, Camille assumed that Lindseyâs academic achievements were average at best.
Camille shot Lindsey a disdainful look.
âTo be a decent agent, you should focus on your own integrity instead of resorting to underhanded tactics to get ahead.
Kristy happens to be my top student.
During her time at college, she consistently held a top position in her class, and I had high hopes for her.
If all the agents in your country are as opportunistic as you appear to be, how can I be confident in allowing my favorite student to build her career here?â
She then turned to Kristy and said, âIn my opinion, you shouldnât have returned home to start your career.
â
Camilleâs remarks were not just against Lindsey but an insult to her entire country, leaving Lindsey feeling uneasy.
Lindsey stood up straight and faced Camille confidently.
âThank you for your advice, Ms.
Dupont.
But, if I may speak in my defense.
While Zrans University might not be as prestigious as Skiyton Film Academy, itâs still among the worldâs leading comprehensive universities.
During my time there, I consistently topped my class and was chosen as the valedictorian.
This achievement was what paved my way into Vitality Entertainment.
Moreover, our company places great importance on individual talent, not just academic qualifications.
My promotion is a testament to the companyâs belief in my skills.
â
Upon hearing that Lindsey excelled academically at a renowned institution like Zrans University and was chosen as the valedictorian, Camilleâs view of Lindsey changed.
With a composed smile, Lindsey continued, âIn terms of educational achievements and skills, I might not compare to Miss Chaseâs agent, Miss Archer.
Perhaps, you could inquire about the elite university Miss Archer attended?â
Jayleenâs expression instantly turned dark.
She was merely an observer on the sidelines.
Yet, she couldnât fathom why she was suddenly on the receiving end of trouble.
Intrigued by Lindseyâs comments, Camilleâs attention shifted to Jayleen.
Considering Kristy was Jayleenâs artist, not Lindseyâs, Jayleen should have been her focus.
