Liliana called her secretary into the office and handed over part of Oliviaโs file. โDo whatever it takes to get her to sign with us,โ Liliana said coldly.
She couldnโt allow Olivia to continue gaining fame in the entertainment industry. If Olivia signed with Starlit Entertainment, Liliana could use the companyโs resources to bury her career entirely, ensuring she disappeared from the public eyeโand more importantly, from the Kerineth familyโs radar.
The secretary glanced at the file, recognizing Olivia as someone who had recently started gaining attention. โMs. Liliana, what kind of terms should we offer her?โ the secretary asked. This was the first time sheโd seen Liliana take the initiative to pursue an artist.
Lilianaโs eyes narrowed. โOffer her whatever she wants. Spare no expense. But one conditionโshe must comply fully with the companyโs arrangements.โ As long as Olivia was under her control, Liliana had countless ways to ensure Olivia never crossed paths with the Kenneth family again.
The secretary was taken aback. Although Olivia was gaining traction, she wasnโt famous enough to warrant such generous terms. โUnderstood!โ the secretary said, leaving immediately to handle the matter.
From her perspective, there was no way Olivia would turn down such an offer. Compared to Starlit Entertainment, Oliviaโs previous company was insignificant. Why would someone who had been stuck in a small company refuse such a golden opportunity?
The secretary quickly found Oliviaโs contact information and called her. Meanwhile, Olivia had just arrived at her new company when she received the call. A slightly haughty voice came through the phone.
โHello, Ms. Carter. Iโm the executive assistant from Starlit Entertainment. Weโd like to offer you a contract. Please feel free to name your terms.โ
Olivia raised an eyebrow. Starlit Entertainment? Isnโt that Ameliaโs company? Without hesitation, she replied, โIโm not interested in signing with your company.โ
Her blunt refusal left the secretary stunned. She had expected a small-time artist like Olivia to at least be flattered, if not thrilled, by the offer. โMs. Carter, perhaps you didnโt hear me clearly. I said weโre from Starlit Entertainment.โ
Holding a stack of documents Jared had just handed her, Olivia replied casually, โI heard you clearly. Iโm still not interested.โ
The secretary was speechless. She couldnโt believe Olivia had rejected the offer outright. Normally, the secretary wouldnโt bother arguing with a minor artist. But since Liliana had personally ordered her to secure the deal, she had no choice but to remain patient.
โMs. Carter, weโre approaching you with genuine sincerity. If youโre unsure, feel free to list any contract terms youโd like. As long as theyโre reasonable, weโll do our best to accommodate them. Starlit Entertainmentโs reputation in the entertainment industry speaks for itself. This is a rare opportunity that many would kill for. Please think it over carefully.โ
Oliviaโs response, however, was calm and indifferent. โSo many people want inโsign them instead. Iโm not interested. I have other matters to attend to. Goodbye.โ Without waiting for a reply, Olivia hung up.
The secretary stared at the phone, her face filled with disbelief.
