Chapter 377
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
âMr.
Harvey, what do you think we should do? I donât care much for being the director, but without me, youâll miss out on a lot, wonât you?â
That voice belonged unmistakably to Jayleen.
Lindsey was taken aback.
She hadnât expected such a flirty tone from Jayleen before.
Josh wrapped his arms around Jayleen, seating her comfortably on his lap.
He said with ease, âYour bet with Lindsey is buzzing online.
Everyoneâs eyes are on it.
We canât fool that crowd, so youâll need to step down from the directorâs role for now.
Just play along, and when the hype dies down, Iâll help you get back in charge.
What do you think?â
âDonât play games with me,â Jayleen warned, draping her arms around his neck and pouting.
Josh squeezed her butt and countered, âHave I ev
er broken a promise to you? Plus, I need you to use that role to our advantage, donât I?â
In the business world, profit often eclipsed romance.
Jayleen understood this and trusted Joshâs words.
âYouâre actually planning to sign Selah, arenât you? If Lindsey manages to snag an actress like her, sheâll be a major rival.
â
Gently tapping her nose, Josh assured her, âOnce Selahâs with Vitality Entertainment, weâll decide if she rests or gets opportunities, wonât we?â
The plan clicked for Jayleen.
âExactly.
Even if Selah does sign, we can block her from landing any gigs.
If she causes the company to bleed money, weâll have the perfect chance to oust her and Lindsey.
After all, itâs money that talks.
Those who pay top dollar get the prime picks, right?â
âThatâs right.
So, how about you reward me?â he teased.
âYou always take such good care of me.
â Jayleen pressed her hands against Joshâs face and ki*sed him softly.
Pleasured Moans echoed from the office shortly after.
Hidden behind the door, Lindseyâs hands were balled into tight fists.
Sweat dampened her palms, and her handsâ bulging veins betrayed her stress.
She had imagined many scenarios but never that Jayleenâs mysterious back was Josh, the companyâs vice general manager.
Together, they werenât plotting the companyâs growth but scheming against their own staff and artists.
Worse, they were accepting bribes for personal gain.
Disappointment swelled within Lindsey.
She had joined Vitality Entertainment, inspired by her mother, aiming to become an outstanding agent just Like her.
However, she hadnât anticipated such rot and corruption at Vitality Entertainment.
What was her next move?
Should she confide in Emilio? And how could she be certain Emilio wasnât part of this?
It was common for employees to mirror their bossesâ flaws.
Was it possible that Emilio was unaware of Josh and Jayleenâs secret dealings?
