Shirley Thorne really didn't want Phoebe Ainsworth going into the study, but...
The billionaire had given her that precious money she loved so much—a seven-figure sum, no less. It was just too good to pass up.
'Sigh, in life, you always have to give some things up. You can't have your cake and eat it too. So...'
She chose to accept the payment!
'The billionaire must have his reasons. I shouldn't let my emotions get the better of me.'
With that thought, Shirley Thorne wasn't just gleeful inside; a look of delight almost slipped onto her face.
'No, I can't break character!'
She had already taken the money; there was no way she'd let them demand a refund because she was being unprofessional.
Shirley Thorne bit her lip, furrowed her brow, and lifted her chin high. She resentfully sized up Phoebe Ainsworth, who was a head taller than her, and asked, "What's so important that you have to go to the study?"
Ian Hollis: 'Mrs. Thorne is amazing! What great acting!'
