Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Human Nature
Walking into the office building of the Star Entertainment, Edie immediately noticed the gaze of everyone’s eyes. The young receptionist woman who was enthusiastic about everyone was talking to the people next to her.
When she saw her coming in, she stood up in a panic. Edie did not say anything, but the face of the young woman raised a guilty conscience. "Hello, Miss La... Lara."
Edie could figure out that she was talking about her with such a look that her every hair was filled with a guilty conscience. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
However, this was also part of human nature. It was such big news, and twitter had hit the roof. She could not seal everyone’s mouth. Therefore, Edie did not embarrass the woman and smiled as if she hadn’t seen her. She avoided her eyes and said, "I came to see Danny."
The woman saw that she didn’t seem to be angry and slightly sighed with relief. She quickly said, "Danny says he is waiting for you in his office."
"Okay, then I shall go first."
"See you, Miss Lara."
Seeing the back of Edie disappear around the corner, the receptionist relaxed and sighed a long sigh.
"It’s really dangerous to talk behind people’s back. I just said a few words and was caught by her. Fortunately, Miss Lara has a good temper and didn’t embarrass me."
Sitting next to her was an intern who just graduated from college. Her eyes are quite profound, "I am afraid that she doesn’t embarrass you, not because of her temper."
The receptionist didn’t understand her words, "What do you mean?" The intern hooked her finger mysteriously. The receptionist was confused but still got closer to her.
The intern took out the phone and showed a photo that she had inadvertently photographed when Edie entered the building. "What’s wrong? Is there any problem?"
The intern used two fingers to enlarge the part of the photo behind Edie. "Look, do you see the car?" The receptionist shook her head, "I don’t recognize it."
The intern gave her an anxious look, "This is a Lincoln limousine! Ordinary rich people will not buy it. If you want to drive this car, you must have both money and identity!"
"You mean..." The receptionist suddenly realized, widened her eyes and covered her mouth in surprise.
"How can she a little star afford this car? As for the online gossip news...I guess it’s probably true."
"Really? Miss Lara doesn’t look like this kind of person."
"Look like? Does Katrina Wood look like that kind of person? Last year she was exposed because she was working in a nightclub before entering the circle, and who could believe it?"
Katrina was a well-known pure woman in the circle. She had not even filmed a scene of kissing since she worked in this industry, and the most intimate part of her filming was a hug. She did have an appearance as pure as a lily, so she was admired by many of the media as the "purist woman" in the circle.
However, she had probably offended someone last year and was suddenly exposed that she had worked in the nightclub at the age of eighteen. Even the photos were out, so the truth was revealed.
Since then, Katrina’s reputation had plummeted, and those rancorous fans who had supported her just wanted to kill her. The company quickly gave up Katrina and completely stopped her career. When she thought about Katrina’s story, the receptionist was not so sure instantly.
The intern went on to say, "You said that she has a good temper and does not embarrass you. I don’t think so. It is very likely that she just has a guilty conscience. Her stories were all-around online, and there are already almost two thousand comments in the forum. Does she look like it has affected her? She looks as if nothing has happened, and it is possible that the things that are said online are true." freeωebnovēl.c૦m
The receptionist nodded thoughtfully and saw the intern open her tweet, editing, and adding a photo. She widened her eyes, "Oh, you are going to send it out? The company has stipulated that we staff are strictly forbidden to spread the privacy of the artists!"
The intern didn’t care, "It doesn’t matter. This is just my tweet. As long as you don’t say anything, no one knows that it was sent by me. According to her look, Edie definitely has been someone’s mistress. I must expose her true face."
Edie took the elevator to Danny’s office, but before she entered the door, she heard the sharp dispute inside. Through the door, Danny’s voice was a little vague, and he was angry, "What’s the meaning of this, no way?! Is that the ability of your public relations department? What is the difference between you and waste?"
Edie guessed that it was probably because of her affair that Danny was so angry, and she felt a little guilty. Edie raised her hand and knocked on the door gently. The quarrel was abruptly stopped, and Danny asked impatiently, "Who is it?"
"Danny, it’s me."
Danny recognized Edie’s voice and immediately said, "Come in." Edie walked into the office, and unexpectedly she saw a lot of people in the office. Including Danny, there was Maggie Lima from the public relations department, Erica Yang and Director Dante from the propaganda department.
The moment Edie entered the door, all eyes converged on her face. Edie said hello to them one by one. Director Dante was under pressure from all sides today and was full of anger. He couldn’t help but said first, "Edie, you almost killed all of us in the propaganda department and the public relations department."
Maggie added, "Yes, female stars’ reputation is very sensitive, and none of the steps can be wrong. However, now the whole city has been talking about your things. It’s not only you but also the company’s reputation that has been affected."
Edie did not understand, "Why does it affect the reputation of the company?"
"Didn’t you go online to search for it? Now many people said that our company must have known about such a big deal and they said that our company is a pimp who introduces transactions for our female stars. Now you are not only ruining your own future for your shamelessness but also affecting the entire company."
Maggie rolled her eyes in disdain. Danny was one of the company’s big-name agents, and they didn’t dare to offend him. If they didn’t vent on a little star, they were really going to die of anger.
Danny would not tolerate it if someone insulted his artists, and he burst out immediately, "Watch how you speak to her! What do you mean by ’shamelessness’? Have you made the situation clear? Edie has been following me for almost three years since her university. How can I make it clear to you what kind of woman is she? How dare you say she is shameless now?"
"Then, don’t ask the public relations department to contact and delete the tweets. Do you know what the price of deleting such heated tweets is? According to her status, do you think the company will pay for her?"
Danny sneered, "If it can be solved by money, I have already fixed it. Do you think we really need you to contact anyone? In addition to spending money to delete the tweets, is there anything useful that you have done?"
