Chapter 209
Given Selah’s current prominence and the media’s keen interest in her, Lindsey’s unexpected visit to Vincent’s company was bound to attract attention.
Anticipating this, Lindsey had alerted Vincent in advance.
Lindsey rode the elevator up to Vincent’s Lounge.
Upon entering, she recognized two familiar figures.
They were Jayleen, the agent director of Vitality Entertainment, and Kristy, the current leading actress.
Kristy looked particularly graceful today, adorned in a floral dress and a pink knitted sweater, her makeup subtle and enhancing her elegant appearance.
Her attire brought back memories of Selah, who was once celebrated as the Queen of Elegance after her rise to fame five years ago.
But unlike Selah’s gentle and pure vibe, Kristy emanated an air of arrogance.
Upon noticing Lindsey, Kristy eyed her with a look of disdain.
“Lindsey, are you sure you’re in the right place? This is Vincent’s private lounge, off-limits without his approval.
I recall you were stopped by the receptionist last time and couldn’t even get in.
How did you manage to get in today?”
“Hey, Kristy, we’re all coworkers from the same company.
Please don’t say that; it’ll just make her feel awkward.
” Jayleen rose from her seat, walked over to Lindsey, and greeted her with a smile.
“Lindsey, did you come for the role of lead lady in Mr.
Lopez’s movie?”
Lindsey gazed at her and inquired, “Miss Archer, why didn’t you mention that you were trying to get this part for Miss Chase?”
Jayleen grinned.
“This project is a big deal for the company.
I can’t bet everything on a new agent who got a promotion through an exception.
Let’s have a fair competition.
It’s only natural for anyone with the capability to get the role, don’t you think?”
Lindsey maintained a composed expression as she spoke, “Miss Archer, are you saying… Someone who ultimately doesn’t secure the role must lack the necessary skills, right?”
“That’s one way to put it.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
” Jayleen laughed.
Considering Lindsey’s current assets, grabbing the lead role in Mr.
Lopez’s movie seemed nearly unattainable.
Her sole intention was to use this chance to show that Lindsey wasn’t capable, with the ultimate goal of kicking her out of the company !
Kristy let out a snort and struck a pose of arrogance.
“Lindsey, Mr.
Lopez can’t stand agents without big-name stars bothering him.
I suggest you don’t waste your time.
Otherwise, your prospects might take a hit if Mr.
Lopez shows up and gets annoyed with you.
”
Lindsey lounged on the sofa and responded indifferently, “I appreciate the advice, Miss Chase.
”
Kristy’s irritation grew at Lindsey’s composure.
She believed Lindsey landed her job through connections and led a disordered personal life, yet she was quite arrogant.
Recalling the close encounter between Lindsey and the man she met at the racetrack, Kristy’s resentment towards Lindsey deepened.
“Miss Archer, I tried to be kind and remind her, but she didn’t take it well.
Mr.
Lopez is coming later.
Maybe you can talk to her? It could get pretty awkward otherwise.
Well, you know, Miss Stewart is part of our company too.
We can’t allow her to bring embarrassment to it in front of Mr.
Lopez, can we?”
“Alright, I’ll take your advice.
” Jayleen put on a pretense of concern and gazed at Lindsey with worry.
“Lindsey, if Mr.
Lopez inquires later, you can mention you came with me.
If he finds out you snuck in, he might get angry.
It could affect future collaborations.
”
The lounge door creaked open, and Vincent’s assistant stepped inside from the outdoors.
“Excuse me, is Miss Lindsey Stewart present?”
Lindsey rose gracefully.
“I’m here.
”
