The fact that Stella was late today left a bad impression. Though, she tried her best to redeem it with her acting skills. "Don't worry, Mr. Winfield. This will be the first and last time I'll be late," she said.Stuart felt relieved when he heard that. "Take a look at the contract and sign your name if there is no problem.""Is it okay if I video call my agent and ask him to review the contract?"Before Mr. Winfield could open his mouth, his assistant said, "These types of contracts are almost exactly the same. There's nothing to review. Hurry up and sign it. Don't delay our ti—"Stuart raised his hand, motioning for the other party to stop talking. Then he said to Stella, "Go ahead. It's a good thing to be cautious."When Yasmine heard that Stella would call Kaiden, her face changed slightly.Stella thanked Stuart. Accompanied by several crew members, she went downstairs to a place with a signal and made a phone call with Kaiden. She also sent a copy of the contract to him.Ka
"Why don't you try it if you don't believe me?" Stella said. She suddenly changed the main subject with, "What are you afraid of, Bella? Why did you use such a low-level method to make me miss my audition for the female lead?"Bella froze for a moment but quickly came back to her senses. "Huh? What do you mean? What are you talking about?"Bella was not a fool. She would never admit something she did not directly commit. 'Who knows if this crazy bitch is recording or something. I'm not about to let her get to me.'"Everyone was given the same chance. You're the one who did not arrive at the scene on time. You must accept the price of being late instead of blaming others."The corners of Stella's mouth twitched when she heard that. 'I see someone has become smart.'Bella looked at her half-smile and thought of the last time she kicked her into the sea. 'This crazy bitch is wild. Today's incident was not executed well. There's a possibility that I'll get exposed if I continue arguin
As soon as Stella arrived at the lobby, Marshall's voice came behind her. She turned around, surprised, "Mr. Moore— I mean Marshall, why are you here?"Marshall approached her and said softly, "I'm here to discuss a case." He glanced at her dancing outfit and said, "Why are you—""I just finished an audition."Marshall nodded.Stella just passed the tryout and was excited, "Why don't you ask me if I got the role?""Is there even a need to ask?" Marshall smiled. He could already tell by her expression. "Come on, ask me," Stella said. She had to show off in one way or another. Marshall laughed and asked seriously, "Did you pass the audition, Ms. Jewell?"Stella's eyes sparkled, "Yeah! The director's eyes shined bright when he saw me!"Marshall could not hide his smile while looking at her, "Is that so? Congratulations, then." Stella rolled her eyes.As he was talking, a middle-aged bald man suddenly approached Marshall and said, "Think about it, Mr. Moore. I can pay you more if y
Stella glanced back at the door and saw that Keegan had not come down yet. Marshall noticed her looking and asked, "Are you waiting for your friends?" Stella was silent for a few seconds before saying, "No."Clearly, she was not waiting for Keegan, the idiot who did not know how to speak."It's okay. I don't want to trouble you. I'll just call a cab."Marshall paused, "It's no trouble, Stella. Treat it as friends helping each other. Plus, it's late. It's not safe for you to take the cab alone. Come on, let me give you a ride." The last sentence sounded like a request.Stella was afraid when people talked to her like that because she would not know how to reject them. So, she got into Marshall's car in a daze."You live in Clouditude International?" Marshall asked as he turned the steering wheel. Stella nodded, "Yeah. It was a company arrangement. I'm staying there with my friend."Marshall lightly tapped his fingers on the steering wheel a few times before saying, "Clouditude has
Marshall chuckled, "Actually, Keegan is liked by many elders. He is great at his work and very responsible. He meets the standards of a son-in-law, and many girls fancy him. I'm guessing the elders of the Kane family are urging him to find another bride. After all, he is the only son in the family. They would want him to spread his seed."Stella was startled when she heard that, her heart trembling slightly. She pursed her lips tightly and said nothing while lightly tapping the window beside her.Not long after, they arrived at Clouditude International. When Stella got out of the car, Marshall called out to her. He took a tiny pink bunny-shaped pendant from the car's storage box and handed it to Stella. "My colleagues custom ordered a phone strap, but pink is not my color. I'm thinking you girls might like it..?"The details on the bunny looked amazing. Stella liked it but said, "My phone doesn't have a case, so this thing is pretty much useless to me. Maybe you should give it to wh
'What an ass. How dare he say that to me?' After Trevor hung up the phone, he called the HR department and said with a stern face, "Tell Yasmine to get the hell out of here! Never let me see her face or hear her name ever again!" He then hung up after speaking.When Yasmine arrived at the company the next day, the HR manager called and asked her to go through the resignation procedures. Yasmine thought she had misheard and asked, "Sorry, what?""I said, hurry up and go through the resignation procedures. You have been fired."Yasmine's face turned pale, "Why is the company firing me? I've recruited three actors for the company, and I'm still working with the most famous artist in the company. Why are you guys firing me?""This is Mr. Saun's decision; neither you nor I have the right to comment on it," said the HR manager. He sized up Yasmine and wondered why Trevor made a non-compete clause with an agent here.Yasmine gritted her teeth and said, "I signed a three-year contract wit
At first, Bella did not instruct Yasmine to interfere directly, but she thought she was still in Royal Deluxe Entertainment, where everyone respected her as a celebrity. She felt that the company would protect her even if it were obvious that they had done it.However, Bella felt a little more apprehensive about taking further action after this incident. To her, it did not matter if Trevor fired Yasmine out of consideration for the company. His relationship with Stella was not as simple as it seemed.After Stella went home, she texted about the incident at the audition in her group chat. Shea was still working with another crew and was furious after learning about what happened to Stella.There was still more than a week left for her to wrap things up with her current crew. Afterward, she would apply to accompany Stella in her new crew. Shea told her that this type of incident was common in the entertainment industry. She reminded her to watch someone eat the food they bring her bef
After hanging up the phone, Felicity stopped what she was doing and said, "Stella, I have to go out for a while." Stella nodded and teased, "Are you going to meet up with Dr. Steven again?" Felicity gave a vague reply, thinking, 'I wish! But it's okay. I have to work hard to collect some information first.'Felicity changed into some casual clothes and went out the door. She walked straight to apartment 902 on the opposite side of the hallway and rang the doorbell.The door opened in less than three seconds. "Didn't I tell you the password last time? Do I have to open the door every time you come here?" Vermont had just finished his workout and had taken a shower. He was only wearing shorts now; his upper body was naked, and a towel was on his head. The water from his hair was dripping down the muscles of his body.Felicity's scalp tightened, and with a dark face, she pulled the towel from his head and threw it on his chest, "Put on some clothes. You're hurting my eyes!" After sayin
