Merry was finally able to show her true heart when there was nobody beside her and Lilia that remained in the dining room.
"Sis Lilia ...!" Merry rushed to the woman and hugged her tightly, "I really don't want to leave you! You've just started acting and your career as a model is also taking off! I… I want to accompany you to the end…!" She said in a trembling voice.
Lilia hugged back the young woman's tiny body. She stroked Merry's back as she said in a soothing tone, "I also don't want to be apart from you, Merry. For me, no one can replace your position as my assistant."
"In that case…!" Merry looked up hopefully.
"But…" Lilia continued in a stern tone, "Your studies remain top priority. Your dad is right, you need to at least have a diploma to be successful. You can't be my assistant forever. There will be times when I retire from entertainment. When that time comes, your career options will be easier to get if you have a diploma."
