Would a businessman ever have a beef with money?
But to everyone's surprise, the usually low-key Group suddenly dropped a bomb, announcing they were cutting ties with the production of Blood Ties.
Originally, when she signed the deal with the production, it was under the company's name, meaning if anything went south, the company would take the heat.
After X Entertainment went belly up, their contracts naturally got passed on to the Maple Group, who bought them out.
The Maple Group had every right to break the contract, but that didn't do them any good.
Kristin was racking her brains, trying to figure out what the bigwigs were thinking. She was the company's cash cow and their most famous artist. Despite all the recent drama, she didn't lean on the company for help. Instead, she hired her own PR, just trying to keep up appearances for the company.s
The only smear on her record was that cat incident, but she didn't kill the cat, and as time went by, this minor issue would fade from people's minds.
No matter how they slice it, the new company shouldn't be ditching her!
But last night's announcement from the Maple Group was clearly a slap in the face. She didn't know what she did wrong or how she breached the contract and caused a public uproar.
Thus, when she got news this morning that the CEO of the Maple Group was coming to headquarters, she rushed to get dolled up and followed along.
Two security guards escorted her to the elevator, either standing to her left and right or front and back, clearly playing the role of "jailers".
Kristin was on pins and needles. As she was about to meet the company CEO, she didn't notice her surroundings changing.
Outside the CEO's office.
The security knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Kristin furrowed her brow. Why was a woman's voice coming from inside? And the voice sounded so familiar.
Kristin didn't have time to ponder. The door opened, and the two guards stood by the door and ushered her in.
Kristin swallowed hard. She was so tense that she could feel her facial muscles tightening. She clenched her fists and took a deep breath before entering, ready to negotiate with the Maple Group.
The Maple Group and the production of Blood Ties unilaterally terminated their contract without informing her and even released a statement smearing her name. Although she was an artist for the company, she still had her rights. She could totally sue the Maple Group for breach of contract and defamation and demand compensation.
With this in mind, she felt a bit braver. As she walked in, she felt an intense aura. She looked straight ahead, and the first thing she saw was a tall man with a scar on his face.
Was this the company’s CEO?
Kristin tried to put on a smile, but then her gaze shifted, and she froze.
Izabella?! Why was Izabella here? Shouldn't she be on set right now? Why was she in the executive chairman's office at the Maple Group's headquarter and sitting in the chair?
Could it be?
Kristin glanced again at the man with the scar on his face. She finally understood why the company terminated their contract with the production of Blood Ties unilaterally and why they released an announcement online smearing her name. It was all because of Izabella.
Izabella!
She had seriously underestimated her, to the point that she could even get the new company's big boss under her thumb.
How could someone be so shameless?
Izabella trying to kick her out was a pipe dream!
