Chapter 225
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Lindseyâs expression turned into a frown.
She had only mentioned to Jayleen that sheâd give it a shot.
When did she agree to be demoted if she failed?
âWhat a shame! She made the wrong bet! Canât believe Selah, like Lindsey, leads such a scandalous life.
They both seem to have climbed the ladder relying on men!â
âTheyâre cut from the same cloth!â
There was a burst of laughter in the office.
Lindsey didnât bother to argue with them and walked towards her office.
At this time, a voice came from behind.
âMiss Archer, there you are!â
Lindsey stopped and turned around to see Jayleen approaching confidently.
âLindsey, youâve surely heard about Selahâs situation.
It seems our company made the right call.
Mr.
Lopez will soon announce the Leading lady of his film.
Looks like your efforts will be in vain.
â
Around the department, others chimed in, âWith the way public opinion is swaying now, Selahâs reputation is in ruins.
Itâs almost certain that Kristy will be the lead in Mr.
Lopezâs new movie! If certain individuals are wise enough, they should proactively resign from their positions.
â
âThatâs right.
Better to leave now than be dismissed later.
Then she wonât be able to show her face ever again!â
Lindsey realized that Jayleen had orchestrated this entire situation to push her out of the company from the start.
So, Jayleen was the one responsible for tarnishing Selahâs reputation and elevating Kristyâs status in the public eye this time.
As a director at Vitality Entertainment, Jayleen was quite cunning, but her methods werenât utilized in the right way.
Lindsey nodded with a gentle smile and looked at Jayleen calmly, âMiss Archer, do you want to make a bet with me?â
âWhat bet?â Jayleen crossed her arms over her chest and cast a disdainful glance at Lindsey.
âIf Kristy lands the lead in Mr.
Lopezâs upcoming movie, Iâll leave the company of my own accord.
But if Selah gets the part, itâll show your lack of judgment.
Then, you should step down and make way for someone more competent.
Are you up for the bet?â
Lindseyâs proposal immediately sparked a buzz.
âOh my God! Wow, can you believe Lindseyâs challenging Miss Archer right here?â
âHow can she propose such a bet? Does Selah even stand a chance at getting the role?â
âNo way! Selah has only just returned, and sheâs currently embroiled in scandals that have tarnished her reputation.
Mr.
Lopezâs upcoming movie is a major investment targeting international awards.
Itâs highly unlikely heâd choose a has-been star with a controversial past as the lead.
That would be self-sabotage, wouldnât it?â
âExactly, Kristy is the ideal choice for both Mr.
Lopez and the audience.
Lindseyâs bound to lose!â
Jayleenâs eyebrows lifted in surprise.
Just as she was searching for a reason to oust Lindsey from Vitality Entertainment, Lindsey approached her with an offer.
âIâm confident in Kristyâs abilities.
Iâll take that bet.
But remember, if you lose, youâll have to leave.
I do feel a bit sorry for you.
â
âIâm prepared for that.
Donât worry about me.
â With a smile, Lindsey scanned the room and said, âEveryone here is a witness.
If you lose, Miss Archer remember you promised to step down as a director!
Lindsey then gracefully turned and made her way to her office, not looking back.
