MasukMeanwhile, back home, Tanya's bizarre change in behavior had drawn the attention of the president-elect and his party.Even so, Tanya had always been the thorn in their side who was always the most vocal against their election campaign, and they had no idea if she would run her mouth again at her concert in Tokyo.Was she trying to switch sides, or had she been forced to restrain herself after that damning video had gone viral?It was clear that it was still premature to extend an olive branch, and they should just wait and see how things turn out. Otherwise, if Tanya never changed her mind, she would definitely tell the whole world about it, and they would lose way more than they had bargained for.They had already won the election anyway, and strategically speaking, even megastars like Tanya held not much value to the president-elect. With her, they'd have much better PR, while not having her didn't affect them all that much either.If, at this juncture, they were caught by
Tanya sighed. "I can tell that I've lost, and I stopped my shoutout because I've come to see that it was a mistake. As a public figure worshipped by many, especially minors, I have a duty to be careful with my speech and behavior. Also, I've decided to stop doing shout-outs for any position."Mrs. Sweet groaned in disappointment right then, "Please, Tanya, you're already thirty! Can't you be more mature and cover all corners? You know that supporting minorities is now the staple moral high ground, and as a public figure, you should be actively promoting it!"If you don't, the paparazzi will quickly jump to conclusions that you never agreed to their movement, and the antis will rally to cancel you! Your career will be reduced to nothing!""It's fine, Mom," Tanya assured her. "It's time to take the right perspectives, and I won't mind people attacking me for it."While her mother was worried about her career and potentially shrinking income, she also had no idea Tanya had nearly been
Trevor was surprised by how much Tanya had changed, as she used to carry herself like a spoilt heiress, with all the bad temper that label implied.However, while she tended to snap at people, one could see that she was all words and no bite—she was quite harmless.But now, Tanya didn't simply show spine, but she was also able to find her opponent's weakness with precision and land a lethal blow.For a moment, he seemed to see shades of Charlie Wade in Tanya, too. In fact, the man must have influenced her so much that it had reached down to the depths of her psyche, earning her worshipful admiration.Still, Trevor wasn't jealous or annoyed.For one, he himself was grateful and respected Charlie.Also, he could tell that Charlie was close with his wife and wouldn't be interested in Tanya.That was when the phone in his pocket rang.Pulling it out, he realized it was Tanya's phone, which she had left in his care before going on stage.Holding it out to her, he said, "Call for yo
Yet now, Kevin gave up completely.Tanya's menacing presence and the way she had threatened to cancel him left him petrified.At this point, his only choice was to take her deal and leave without a word, and he would still retain the title of Tanya's former personal makeup artist.Meanwhile, Tanya was telling her manager, "And another thing. Tell everyone that we're not going on break. For the next month, I'll be doing ten concerts in Oskia, and the holiday only starts after."The manager was shocked once again. "Ten concerts in Oskia?! Why are you only telling us now?! There's so much preparation needed, but on such short notice, and everyone is ready to go on holiday after the Tokyo stop! They've even bought their own flight tickets to go elsewhere. It'd be demoralizing for everyone if you just pull them out of their holiday mood…""I'm only telling you now because I just decided on it today," Tanya replied flatly. "In regard to the short timetable, that's on the rest of you. Os
Kevin quickly realized that he was the one in danger upon Tanya's threat—it was the first time he was seeing her being this aggressive after working for her for years.He had no reason to doubt what she said either—she was the richest artist bar none, and her labels sold her LPs, digital media, and everything else in between across the world. There were millions, if not billions, who listened to her songs every day everywhere, all of which made her money, be it in small amounts or more.Even if individual digital albums sold for tens of dollars or less, with millions buying them, that still meant tens of millions. Moreover, no individual or organization could beat her claims of copyright. She could be flamed or boycotted all over the world, but she would still get paid her dividends from her copyrights, and the same thing applied to every other individual who owned similar copyrights but had been canceled for standing against political movements.That meant even if Tanya decided t
Wheeling on Kevin, Tanya strode up to him as she snapped, "First of all, I never betrayed anyone! I was vocal before, but that also means I'm capable of staying silent! My voice is mine, and just because I endorsed someone before, it doesn't mean they own me!"Then, she raised her voice even more as she continued, "Also, every individual has the freedom of choice! I've always respected yours, even now, but did you return that favor? Do you respect my choice? I've taken good care of you for as long as you've worked for me, and I even supported you when you came out with everything I had. I'm just tired of all that activism and need a break, yet you're already calling me out for letting you down? For turning against you?!"Kevin was left flustered as he really didn't expect Tanya to snap, and he quickly said, "W-Wait, that's not what I mean… I just think people who look forward to your support will be disappointed…""Well, don't you think I'm disappointed now?" Tanya shot back. "I've
