Hallie Morgan said, "I just... mentioned it to him. I didn't expect him to help."
Kylie Morales looked at Hallie Morgan, "Your friend, pretty powerful?"
"I was just testing the waters and now it seems he is, indeed, quite powerful…"
Kylie's expression shifted, "Hallie, such things are common in this industry. But, you've just stepped into this circle. I hope you won't focus too much on them and neglect your actual abilities…"
"SisterMercy, are you implying I'm being sponsored? That's not it, really not it. How could I possibly be sponsored? I swear there's nothing."
Hallie explained vehemently, "I despise all these messy sponsor issues. I could never do that. SisterMercy, do you see me that way?"
Seeing such a strong reaction from her, Kylie Morales stared at her in deep thought, caught in disbelief.
Could her guess have been wrong?
But if it's not sponsorship, then who is it that can help her tackle a powerful figure like Gabriel Jones?
