Harmony had heard rumors that Catalina and Mindy were close, so she had a good idea of who was behind this attempt to tarnish her reputation.
âMiss Sharp, do you really have to make things so difficult for me?â Harmony responded, displeased.
Mindy couldnât help but snort disdainfully. âWell, Miss Mayo, it seems that your courage to offend the brand has grown with your popularity.â
Although Harmony didnât intend to offend anyone, she couldnât allow herself to be bullied either.
âI donât want to offend anyone, but if your company insists on creating difficulties for the spokesperson, then I have no choice but to decline.â
âMiss Mayo, if you refuse to attend our event today, be prepared to face a lawsuit!â Mindy threatened, growing annoyed with Harmony.
Harmony helplessly replied, âIâll go on stage if I can change my outfit, but if I canât, I wonât.â
âNo changes. Wear it or donât,â Mindy declared and left.
Left with no choice, Harmony sought Seraâs assistance, and after hearing how she was treated, Sera also felt angry on her behalf. However, if Harmony didnât go on stage, she would undoubtedly be sued.
If she did go on stage, she wouldnât appear wearing this outfit either. âWe can only alter this dress now,â
she said helplessly.
âIâll find you a shawl. You can just wear it on stage later.â
Harmony had no other option. Fortunately, she just had to stand on stage for a few minutes. Soon, Sera found a shawl with the brandâs label on it.
With the help of the shawl, Harmony didnât feel as uncomfortable anymore. After finishing her makeup, Harmony found a pin to fasten the shawl, giving her a more conservative look.
âI have to say, you look really good in this! Itâs a fresh look.â Sera laughed.
Harmony could only force a bitter smile. It seemed that her collaboration with this brand was over.
Mindyâs attitude toward her was very unpleasant.
Meanwhile, Mindy was on the phone with Catalina, assuring her that Harmony would definitely wear that outfit on stage.
Catalina rejoiced on the other end. âThank you, Mindy. Youâre the best!â
âI wonât work with Harmony anymore. Iâve never seen an artist with such a temper. She just gained a bit of fame, and she thinks she can disregard me!â Mindy ranted angrily.
âYouâve seen it for yourself, havenât you? Harmony doesnât take anyone seriously anymore. You guys should be cautious when working with her in the future.â
âOf course, there are so many famous female artists now. We wonât need her.â Mindy felt accomplished. However, just then, one of her subordinates approached and said, âMiss Sharp, itâs time to start. You should go over, too!â
At that, Mindy turned around and asked, âHas Harmony put on her outfit?â
âShe should have. The artists are all waiting backstage now.â
Mindy was finally pleased. She hated the fact that a relatively unknown artist like Harmony didnât know her place and dared to challenge her, a prominent domestic brand. Reeling in victory, Mindy held her head high as she headed toward the stage.
At this point, the media and fans had all gathered in the square below, eagerly anticipating the brand event and the opportunity to get close to their idols.
Ezekiel arrived, escorted by bodyguards to the front, and the media reporters immediately recognized him. They hadnât expected Harmonyâs mysterious, wealthy boyfriend to show up and support her.
Backstage, Harmony was surrounded by two other female artists. Although they had no quarrel with her, they didnât take the initiative to exchange pleasantries with her and even looked at Harmony with disdain several times.
In this industry, experience was crucial for advancement. Clearly, Harmony had taken a shortcut, so naturally, they looked down on her.
The only thing that pleased them that day was that Harmony had lost in terms of attire. They had all chosen sexy dresses, while Harmony was dressed conservatively, not revealing anything. What would the media reporters below capture in their photographs later?
