Sivan spoke so eloquently that she attracted the attentions of the actresses passing by.
Molly understood that Sivan was intentionally trying to slander Jessica. She was so angry that she wanted to argue with Sivan. She had just taken half a step forward and was grabbed by Jessica before she could open her mouth.
Molly asked in a puzzled tone, "Jessica!"
Jessica did not look at Molly. She crossed her arms and looked at Sivan, "No one would feel happy if someone else took her opportunities! However, it isn't your fault. It was the decision of the company to give my resources to you. Fortunately, I have other commercials and movies. From this point of view, I am luckier than others."
Jessica talked reasonably, but there was something hidden in her words.
Sivan, an unknown actress, attracted enough attention and exposure yesterday because of her new identity as Carl's girlfriend. Then she snatched away the advertisement resources from Jessica, an A-list actress in the company.
Jessica said that this was a decision made by the company, which basically saying that she got it through Carl.
Jessica's last sentence was implying that Carl could give Jessica's resources to Sivan today and take others' resources to Sivan one day.
Jessica was a star with good resources in the company. She might have lost one endorsement today, but she would get another and many more in the future. Others wouldn't be as lucky as her.
As an actress, everyone wanted to be famous. Because Sivan was Carl's girlfriend, she could take a shortcut and steal Jessica's resources.
In this way, everyone naturally wouldn't like
Sivan.
Those actresses who were passing by wanted to see a show, so they took their time and walked slowly. But what Jessica said was disturbing. They all looked distressed now.
However, Sivan did not understand what Jessica really meant. She thought she had finally won the battle.
What Jessica said was neither offensive nor provocative. She took it as Jessica's admission of defeat and couldn't help but show complacency.
