Rebirth of a Flopped Actress: Career First, Love Second

Chapter 328: The Entertainment World Is Truly Messed Up

70% Finished

After hanging up, Olivia could still feel the intense anger from the woman on the other side of the call. She handed the phone back to Mia, who took it quietly. Having personally experienced Olivia’s sharp words before, Mia couldn’t help but feel satisfied seeing Starlit Entertainment being made a fool of by Olivia.

“Now that I helped you turn down Starlit Entertainment, do you regret it?” Olivia asked, looking at Mia.

Mia hesitated for a second before replying, “No, I don’t.” She wasn’t naive. The incredible terms Starlit Entertainment offered her weren’t because of her own talent but likely because of Olivia. They were most likely targeting Olivia from the start.

“As long as you don’t break our contract, I’ll never leave you for another company,” Mia said, speaking earnestly. It was the help offered in moments of struggle that created an unforgettable bond. Mia would never turn her back on Olivia.

Olivia looked at Mia, impressed by her determination. She gave Mia’s shoulder a light pat. “Don’t worry. Within two years, I’ll make you more popular than any female artist at Starlit Entertainment.”

Mia smiled faintly. She didn’t take Olivia’s words too seriously. Regardless of whether she became famous or not, Mia had already committed to staying by Olivia’s side.

Olivia was always efficient. With the actors secured and Zayn handling the location, Olivia made the necessary payments. She set the shoot date for just three days later. The lighting, photography, and crew were all handled by Zayn, using his trusted contacts. The only issue remaining was the makeup artists…

No matter how skilled Olivia was, she couldn’t possibly handle the makeup for every actor. There were too many extras and villains to take care of. The biggest problem she faced was finding the best makeup artists at the lowest cost. If she could get them for free, that would be ideal. If not, she would have to pay.

While Olivia was mulling over her options, Mia, who was scrolling through Twitter, suddenly spoke up. “The gossip on Twitter today is unreal…”

“What’s going on?” Olivia asked casually.

Mia turned her phone to show Olivia, “There’s a makeup artist named Nicholas who’s in a fight with his ex. But recently, someone claiming to be his ex started accusing him on Twitter, saying he abandoned him. What’s even more shocking is… his ex is also a man.”

Mia clicked her tongue, amazed. The drama within the LGBTQ community was blowing up on Twitter, and Nicholas’s ex was certainly stirring things up! Nicholas was well-known for his makeup skills and had worked with many top stars. But his ex was practically a nobody. When the story broke, people were criticizing his ex for trying to extort Nicholas out of a big breakup settlement.

Olivia briefly glanced at the gossip but wasn’t particularly interested. However, when she saw that Nicholas’s ex was named Jonathan, her attention was piqued. She had met Jonathan on a set in her past life. At that time, Jonathan had been struggling under Nicholas’s shadow, working for very low pay. The production had hired him and his team for ridiculously cheap rates.
