Beverly was sitting on the side, and she didn't look too good. Gotta admit, she did have a real classy face. Her makeup was on point, her eyes slightly elongated and a bit upturned, filled with a certain allure. You could spot her from a mile away.
"I can't even keep the RM endorsement now. This year's been one big wild goose chase," she said, with a hint of fury on her face. "There were a few events recently, all snatched from artists under Starlight International. Ms. Wendy, do you have a beef with Starlight International?"
Wendy's expression shifted slightly as she glanced at Jacob nearby.
"I just took over Infinity Media, and Starlight International is also a newly transformed entertainment company. We're competitors, isn't grabbing resources just the norm in the entertainment industry? Do we have to wait for them to step on our toes before we fight back?"
Beverly didn't respond. She'd been in the industry for years, and she'd had her fair share of bullying and cold shoulders. It was a dog eat dog world. Now, she was no longer the one being bullied, she was the one doing the bullying.
Seeing Beverly calming down, Wendy added,
"Alright, you focus on preparing for your wedding. I'll figure out the RM thing."
Beverly nodded slowly, turning to Jacob, "We're trying on the wedding dress tomorrow afternoon. Make sure you're free."
Jacob gave a smile, "Sure."
Seeing Jacob's gentle smile, Beverly managed a smile as well.
Wendy watched their affectionate exchange, not saying anything more, and let them leave. Staring at the news on her computer, Wendy stayed still for a long time, finally pinching the bridge of her nose.
Her feelings of resentment and anger grew stronger. Now she had become someone else's stepping stone!
Meanwhile, Starlight International once again received an apology and invitation from RM, with the brand's director coming in person to discuss cooperation.
The reporters blocking the entrance of Starlight International gathered, so RM couldn't hide their talks with Jeanette about the endorsement. This rapid shift in events pushed Starlight International's president, Chloe, to the top of the trending list again.
"Ms. Summers is amazing, causing such a stir as soon as she appears."
"Infinity Media did not see this coming. They stole several endorsements and events from Starlight International, now Starlight International finally got their revenge."
"Yes, Jeanette was robbed of the endorsement, even if it's just riding the coattails. It shows they got skills. Let's see if your idols can do the same."
"Feels like it's been a while since it's been this lively, Ms. Summers really is the center of attention."
"The internet hasn't been this lively for a long time."
However, just as the internet attention spiked, reporters simultaneously broke another news, "Jeanette refuses to be the ambassador for RM!"
And so, the internet became lively again.
"That's so badass!"
"That's so awesome!"
"Right! A dog never returns to its vomit!"
"So decisive, said they'd replace her and now they regret it. They thought it'd be that easy?"
"Right! This time, it's not you guys not wanting Jeanette, it's Jeanette not wanting you guys!"
"Hahaha, whoever wants this endorsement, just take it! It's what Jeanette doesn't want anyway."
Wendy, who had been trying to salvage the endorsement, seeing the situation escalate to this point, abruptly threw her phone, knocking everything on her desk to the floor.
