Lindsey smiled subtly and greeted the professor with a courteous nod, Pleased to meet you, Professor Pearson.
Camille gave Kristy a forced smile and inquired in French, Is this the executive agent you mentioned?
Kristy responded in French as well, Yes, this is Lindsey Stewart.
Camille scoffed, eyeing Lindsey with a look of disdain. I heard you became an executive agent right after graduation. Which university did you attend? Who is your instructor?
Kristy, with a faint smile, turned to Camille and said softly, Ms.
Dupont, Im not sure Lindsey is fluent in foreign Languages. Allow me to translate for her.
Camilles look of disdain towards Lindsey intensified upon hearing this.
Lindsey couldnt even speak another language? She probably wasnt from a prestigious university then. It appeared Kristys assessment was correct. Lindsey seemed to be someone who relied on connections rather than merit to advance.
Lindsey-
As Kristy, with her arms crossed, was about to speak, Lindsey cut her off. Dont bother, Miss Chase. I can speak French.
Then she turned to Camille and replied in fluent French, Ms. Dupont, Im a graduate of Zrans University, and I didnt have a personal instructor.
Camilles eyebrows knitted together. For one, she hadnt anticipated Lindseys impressive fluency in French. Secondly, she wasnt pleased that Lindsey didnt have an instructor.
Typically, while not all college students didnt 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 Lindseys academic achievements were average at best.
Camille shot Lindsey a disdainful look. To 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?
She then turned to Kristy and said, In my opinion, you shouldnt have returned home to start your career.
Camilles 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. Thank 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, its still among the worlds 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 companys belief in my skills.
Upon hearing that Lindsey excelled academically at a renowned institution like Zrans University and was chosen as the valedictorian, Camilles view of Lindsey changed.
With a composed smile, Lindsey continued, In terms of educational achievements and skills, I might not compare to Miss Chases agent, Miss Archer. Perhaps, you could inquire about the elite university Miss Archer attended?
Jayleens expression instantly turned dark. She was merely an observer on the sidelines. Yet, she couldnt fathom why she was suddenly on the receiving end of trouble.
Intrigued by Lindseys comments, Camilles attention shifted to Jayleen. Considering Kristy was Jayleens artist, not Lindseys, Jayleen should have been her focus.
