Stella took the contract and started reading.The offer that Elegant Media gave her was very good.The company will allocate endorsements, reality shows, dramas, etc. to their artists according to their talent, so they won't have to worry about not getting any jobs. The company will also pay the artists even if they could not secure any jobs at the beginning of their careers.Not only would the artists get paid, but the company will contribute to their social security accounts too.After securing a job, the artist will divide his/her earnings evenly with the company. However, a new contract would be proposed after the artist started to get famous, to offer the artist more money.Even though Stella had never signed a contract with any company, she heard many stories about agencies from her friends who graduated from the same course as her and worked in this industry.It was very common for rookies like them to be tricked by agencies.Some agencies would neglect the artist after s
Stella took a deep breath and said, "I misunderstood.""He's the one making things up. It has nothing to do with you." Trevor paused. "What about the contract? Are there any problems?""Yes, there are. First, I'm not going on reality shows. Second, I hired an assistant to help run errands on the set before. She's familiar with the industry. So, if possible, I would like to hire her again.""That won't be a problem. You can ask your assistant to send her resume, and I'll arrange everything. As for reality shows, you can rest assured that I don't intend on letting you go on them."Actors must have a sense of mystery. Although putting them on reality shows was a shortcut for quick money, it will affect their skills. No one would want to memorize lines and shoot till late hours if they can earn money by doing nothing.With Stella's acting skills and appearance, she was destined to play bigger roles. The sky's the limit for her."Then I have no further questions."Trevor sighed a bre
Stella had a scene to shoot in the afternoon, so she went to the orphanage the next day and got Rainee's photocopied records from the director.After Rainee gave birth to her, she had suffered from postpartum depression. Her condition fluctuated a lot. It was mild at times and severe the others. Stella's grandparents were still alive in the early years and had helped Rainee with her child and the doctors. Her mental health gradually became under control. But when they got older, they passed. Without them there, Rainee and Albert started endlessly arguing.Rainee's depression began to come and go during those quarrels. Once, when Stella was home from school, she saw her mother standing on the edge of their window, wanting to jump out. Stella was terrified at the time. She yelled loudly for her mom, and Rainee returned to her senses. She was then admitted to the hospital and got better after staying there for nearly half a year.Stella flipped through the medical records, which record
The crew had no choice but to try to persuade Felicity to assist her, but Bella started to act unreasonably the moment she was there.She deliberately stepped into a mud puddle and ordered Felicity to clean her shoes. When Felicity finished cleaning it up, she stepped into the muddy puddle again. After repeating the same thing three times, she looked at her clean shoes and said lightly, "The more you clean them, the more disgusting they look. Just grab me a new pair."And the shoes were thrown away.Felicity was not one to crumble under pressure. She immediately grabbed the rag she used to wipe the mud and threw it at Bella's face. Everything descended into chaos. Felicity's boss scolded her and sent her home.Stella turned cold after hearing the story. "Your boss lacks judgment," she said.Felicity came out of the bathroom, gritted her teeth, and said, "You know Bella's contract is almost up, right? That jerk, Simon Hill, wants to sign her on. That means we'd have to bow to her s
"Did she answer?" Vermont asked. Keegan scowled and said nothing. 'Okay, I guess she didn't pick up,' Vermont thought. "It's okay. Just call again. I'm sure she's just busy." Keegan pursed his lips and dialed again, but this time, there was no sound except for the busy signal.Vermont did not know what to say. 'Damn. She blocked his number.'"Didn't you say what I told you to say yesterday?"Keegan pursed her lips and responded, "She left after getting the certificate." He did not have the chance to speak to her."Certificate?" Vermont was taken aback. "What certificate?"Vermont had a bad feeling when he saw Keegan's gloomy expression. "Don't tell me you guys got a divorce?!""She embarrassed me at the funeral. I'm not going to keep spoiling her." Keegan glowered.Vermont pointed at him with a trembling index finger, gritted his teeth, and said, "I can't believe this. Is your reputation that important that you rather lose your wife?""It's just temporary!" Keegan emphasized. "
Stella did not want to deal with Keegan's crazy attitude anymore, so she put her phone on silent and went to sleep.'Was I not sincere enough?' Keegan frowned and thought after not getting a text back from Stella.There were dozens of transfer records on Stella's phone when she woke up the next day. More than 10 million dollars was added to her card. Felicity's eyes shined when she saw the tens of millions of dollars in her account."There's something seriously wrong with Keegan. He transferred all that money just to talk to you?""He must be drunk or something," Stella replied with a headache.She wanted to transfer the money back to Keegan, but her card had a limit, unlike his. She could only transfer up to 500 thousand dollars per day. It would take her more than 20 days to transfer the money.After thinking about it, she unblocked Keegan's number and called him. Keegan was in a meeting at that time, but when he saw Stella calling, he suddenly got up and walked out of the room
Keegan pursed his lips and replied, "She's not here."Cordelia frowned. "Where did she go?" Keegan was silent. "Did you divorce her, you brat?" Cordelia asked, startled."She's the one who wanted the divorce," Keegan explained."You dumb child!" Cordelia yelled angrily. "That doesn't mean you should've left her! Are you out of your mind?!"Keegan stayed quiet. Cordelia seldom scolded him, and this was the first time he got a tongue-lashing as an adult.Keegan pursed his lips and said nothing. He always spoke back when Vermont was scolding him, but not with his grandmother. He did not even know what to say and was very annoyed.He found that what he said to Stella at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau was a joke. Now that he thought about it, he was the only one who regretted the divorce after just one day.Cordelia was so angry that her hands were shaking. "What am I going to do with you? Before you got married, you told me that she was the one, and you even asked me to go
"Madam Kane wanted me to tell you that if you can't win her back, don't come here ever again," Baldwin said lightly.Keegan was quiet. Looking at the closed door, he realized that this was the first time he was turned away by his family because of his divorce.He then went home with a sigh. When he arrived, he saw the light in his bedroom was on. He frowned. 'I told them not to clean that room yet. What's wrong with that new hire? Ugh...'Keegan got out of his car with a sullen look and paused. He then turned around and found Stella's Cayenne parked in the yard. He was startled and walked quickly into the house.When he opened the door, a servant greeted him. "You're back, Mr. Kane."Keegan pursed his lips, suppressed his emotions, and whispered, "Is she here?""Mrs. Kane is upstairs. She said she wanted to get some things." As soon as the servant said that, Keegan rushed upstairs. However, he began to slow down as he got closer to the master bedroom.The bedroom door was not sh
