Chapter 219

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

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

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

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

Missing out on Selah could be a great loss.

Please reconsider.

”

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

Josh glared at Lindsey with scorn.

“You think you have better insight than the top management of a company? 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 the company’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 accepting 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 Selah, the industry’s golden goose, to help Jayleen oust Lindsey and remove any threat.

“When Selah returns, she’ll go up against Kristy for the lead in Vincent’s latest film.

Please help Kristy land the role.

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

“Don’t worry.

I’ve already spoken to Andrew’s lawyer.

He’s got enough scandals on Selah 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.

Josh had another motive.

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

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

Public opinion swayed, leaving Vincent hesitant to partner with Selah due to the backlash.

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

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 Selah.
