The woman immediately leaped up in front of me when Cindy remained silent. She grabbed my wrist and began to complain.
"Wanda, you're finally here. You have no idea what Cindy has done. She's been misbehaving when you're not here. She ignores the rules and regulations that you previously set. And she brought that unknown celebrity of hers over to piggyback on the popularity of others. She forcibly increases her social influence, steal others' resources, and frequently has the celebrity show up at the airport!

She had no choice but to shake her head.
"If that's not the truth, then why should you be concerned with what they're saying? I guess there's no need for me to remind you what I've told you before about surviving in the entertainment industry," I said.
I smiled and looked at her. She was too embarrassed to say anything to me.
However, I could see that she was unconvinced from the expression on her face, so I mentioned something else.
“I heard you talking something about the endorsement contract when I came in here Before I could finish my sentence, the agent immediately explained, "Oh, here's the thing. Jessie caught the attention of the marketing manager of an advertising company when she went out that day.
