Signing her would be beneficial, and not doing so could be…”


    She couldn’t finish before Josh mmed his phone down, cutting her off with an impatient Look.


    “Since when do you, an executive agent, question thepany’s decisions?”


    Lindsey, with a firm resolve, replied quickly, “As an executive agent, it’s my job to recruit talent that will profit thepany.


    Missing out on Sh could be a great loss.


    Please reconsider.


    ”


    Lindsey held back the news of Sh’s lead role in Vincent’s new film due to a pact with Vincent.


    Josh red at Lindsey with scorn.


    “You think you have better insight than the top management of apany? Enough.


    I have work.


    Please leave.


    ”


    “But Mr.


    Harvey…”


    “Get out!”


    Lindsey was ready to continue her persuasion but Josh held her back.


    Despite her frustration and feeling of powerlessness, she couldn’t challenge thepany’s vice general manager.


    With a clenched jaw, she had no choice but to leave.


    Shortly after Lindsey’s departure, Jayleen strutted in, swinging her hips seductively towards Josh, who swept her into his embrace.


    Josh was the force behind Jayleen’s rise to director agent.


    Since taking charge, Jayleen had been epting kickbacks for signing new talent, with Josh pocketing most of the proceeds.


    The duo had been in cahoots for a long time, amassing wealth thanks to Vitality Entertainment’s clout in the business.


    Emilio usually stayed out of hiring decisions, but his direct promotion of Lindsey unnerved them.


    If Jayleen’s position was at risk, so were Josh’s profits.


    That was why Josh was willing to sacrifice Sh, the industry’s golden goose, to help Jayleen oust Lindsey and remove any threat.


    “When Sh returns, she’ll go up against Kristy for the lead in Vincent’stest film.


    Please help Kristynd the role.


    ” Jayleen, normally so assertive, turned soft and alluring with Josh.


    “Don’t worry.


    I’ve already spoken to Andrew’swyer.


    He’s got enough scandals on Sh to tarnish her reputation.


    Once that’s out, it’ll cause an uproar and her value will plummet.


    She won’t stand a chance against Kristy,” Josh assured her.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    Josh had another motive.


    He couldn’t face Emilio if he returned to find Sh’s reputation intact.


    So, he paid off the paparazzi and gossipmongers to tarnish her name.


    Public opinion swayed, leaving Vincent hesitant to partner with Sh due to the bacsh.


    Meanwhile, with Emilio away, it was the perfect time for Josh to fire Lindsey from thepany.


    After a long day, Lindsey came home to an empty apartment, feeling a wave of sadness.


    She slumped into the couch, lost in thought.


    She couldn’t fathom why Josh refused to seal the deal with Sh.
