Unfazed, Fannie met his gaze steadily. Her voice was calm yet firm.

“Not exactly. With experience from being with many women, Jett could be just as capable.” She adjusted the bouquet of flowers she was holding with deliberate care, her confidence palpable. “Skills evolve over time. Though, I’ll admit, I’m a bit of a germaphobe. The idea of getting involved with something overly familiar doesn’t appeal to me.”

Bobby smirked, his proximity unnerving as he inched closer.

“And how exactly would you know my history? What if it’s not as many women as you think?” His voice was dripping with insinuation, and his presence was invasive.

Fannie’s heart pounded, but she remained composed.

“Even one is too many,” she shot back. The elevator doors opened just then, offering her a quick escape, which she took without hesitation, shoving Bobby aside.

As she stepped out, Bobby’s voice trailed lazily after her, tinged with a cruel suggestion.

“Fifi, don’t be too sure of Jett’s purity. Be careful you don’t catch anything nasty.”

The absurdity of his words nearly made Fannie laugh. She had known Jett for years—how could she possibly be wrong about him now? How could Bobby have the audacity to talk about Jett like that?

Irritated, Fannie took a few quick steps away, then spun around, giving Bobby a mocking, almost pitying look.

“Why don’t you check yourself before pointing fingers?”

Fannie arrived at her producer friend’s hospital room. Her friend, a driven professional, was working from her hospital bed with an IV drip in her arm.

Fannie had spent a long time observing the industry before diving in, aware that building relationships was key. She consistently treated her seniors with respect and humility.

“Amy, are you feeling better?” Fannie asked.

“It was just a minor issue. I would have left by now if the doctor hadn’t insisted I stay,” Amy replied, waving her hand dismissively.

Fannie set down the flowers and fruits she brought and filled a glass of water for her friend. “You need to take better care of yourself. Hearing you collapsed at work was really frightening for me.”

Amy paused her work and took the glass from Fannie. “Let’s not dwell on that. You came at the perfect time. I have something important to discuss with you. I’m preparing a new variety show.”

Fannie sighed deeply, her concern evident. “Amy, you need to think beyond your career. Your health is more important than any show.”

Amy gave a soft laugh, touched by Fannie’s genuine concern. She trusted Fannie and valued her opinion, which was why she considered her for promising opportunities. As a renowned producer, Amy had the power to draw celebrities to her projects, and she knew that Fannie had a bright future ahead of her.

By the time they finished talking, it was already evening.

“I’ll discuss this further and follow up with you soon,” Fannie said.
