The assistant greeted her with a professional smile.


    “Miss Stewart, Mr.


    Lopez has just wrapped up a meeting and would like to see you in his office now.


    ”


    “What?” Kristy sprang to her feet, her once-arrogant expression now filled with disbelief.


    “Mr.


    Lopez wants to see her?”


    “Yes, Miss Chase.


    ”


    “But.


    But we got here before her!” Kristy clenched her jaw, attempting to hold back her anger, as she needed to keep up appearances.


    “I’m sorry.


    I am just following Mr.


    Lopez’s instructions.


    ”


    After those words, the assistant turned to Lindsey.


    “This way, please.


    ”


    As Lindsey reached the door, she paused and cast a meaningful smile from her gleaming eyes at Jayleen and Kristy.


    “I apologize.


    I snuck in but now I should be the one to meet Mr.


    Lopez first.


    ”

    With that, she walked in.


    “Mr.


    Lopez prefers to meet Lindsey before us? Does he know her well?”


    Kristy’s confusion wasced with anger as she looked at Jayleen.


    Jayleen’s expression turned sour.


    Then she snorted and said, “I guess it’s because she crossed paths with Mrs.


    Lopez at thest banquet.


    But even if she’s acquainted with Mr.


    Lopez, he doesn’t consider connections when selecting actors.


    She only has a handful of unknown artists who can’t catch his eye.


    Furthermore, word has gotten around both within thepany and in the film industry that Lindsey


    vowed to secure the lead role in Mr.


    Lopez’s movie to showcase her skills.


    So, it’s even less likely that he would assist her.


    Now, everyone’s waiting to see her make a spectacle of herself!”


    To humiliate Lindsey and turn her into aughingstock in the industry, Jayleen intentionally circted the information.


    That way, Lindsey wouldn’t pose any threat to her.


    Jayleen grinned and strolled over to Kristy, giving her a friendly pat on the shoulder.


    “Don’t fret.


    You’re sure to be the leadingdy in the end.

    “But…” Kristy’s expression clouded over.


    “Last night, Sh just threw out a tweet and it shot up to the top trend.


    I hear whispers she might be nning a return.


    ”


    Vincent had been drawn to Kristy three years back, seeing in her a reflection of Sh.


    Had Sh not stepped back from the limelight, Kristy wouldn’t havended the leading role.


    The thought of Sh’s return sent a shiver of fear through Kristy.


    Jayleen chuckled and said, “Sh’s been off the screen for five years.


    Marriage and motherhood change a woman, often leaving her a shadow of her former self.


    Besides, it’s the survival of the fittest in showbiz.


    Sure, she was once adored by the masses, but she’s been out of sight for ages.


    She’s yesterday’s news, barely a memory.


    Her attempting aeback? I doubt she’ll stir much interest.


    It’s no big deal.


    ”


    Kristy exhaled a sigh of relief.


    Exactly! Her youth and beauty were undeniable.


    How could a has-been outshine her?


    Meanwhile, Vincent’s mood Lifted when Lindsey walked into the office.


    Jayleen and Kristy had been grating on his nerves.


    Eager for a change, he had his assistant invite Lindsey instead.
