Chapter 139

Chapter 139:

“Damn you!” Teresa snapped, her anger flaring up. But she quickly composed herself, letting out a dismissive scoff. “I can easily pull in millions with just a single deal, but what about you? You probably have to secure several deals to hit your targets, right? You might not even close a single deal.”

“We’ll see who comes out on top!” Teresa’s irritation was evident, but underneath it, a hint of anxiety crept in. She redirected her focus to her work, determined to prove herself.

Even though Teresa was responsible for the business dealings of more famous artists, their status meant she had to be extra careful in selecting the right opportunities for them. The challenge of securing suitable deals weighed heavily on her mind, and it was proving more difficult than she’d anticipated.

As the workday drew to a close, Madisyn noticed a buzz online: Elliot had just announced a partnership with Giana. The news was causing quite a stir, capturing everyone’s attention.

“Wow, my favorite brand is teaming up with my favorite singer!”

“This brand is actually really solid! I always feel safe and comfortable using their products!”

“I’m surprised Giana would go for such a lesser-known brand!”

“This just proves Giana genuinely cares about her fans, not just about making money!”

The online comments kept rolling in, and as more people shared their thoughts, the consensus grew that Giana’s choice was rooted in a genuine desire to recommend quality products to her fans. This perception led to a significant boost in her popularity.

When Jenna saw the overwhelmingly positive response, she was thrilled. The partnership had turned out to be an unexpected windfall for her. Jenna immediately instructed her team to maximize the momentum.

Before long, the news skyrocketed to the top of the trending lists. In a world where idols who genuinely cared about their fans were rare, Giana’s fan base swelled rapidly.

Pleased with how things were unfolding, Jenna called Giana over to discuss the success. “Giana, I told you, you’re one of the pillars of our company now, and I’m going to make sure you’re treated right,” Jenna said with a confident smile. She thought she really did have a talent for this.

Giana, still surprised by the outcome, remarked, “Jenna, you’re incredible. Did you plan all this from the start? Is that why you had me take on this project?”

In truth, Jenna’s initial motivation was just to irk Madisyn.

“Of course, I had it all figured out,” Jenna lied smoothly. “This brand is nice. Why else would Madisyn have shown interest? I knew that with your reputation, people would see you weren’t in it for the money, and your image would get a major boost.”

“Thank you, Jenna, for looking out for me,” Giana said, pretending she was touched by Jenna’s thoughtful planning.

“As for Madisyn… I bet she’s fuming at the office right now,” Jenna mused, barely able to stifle a laugh at the thought. She felt a deep sense of satisfaction, finally enjoying a true moment of delight.

Giana considered the possibility and began to feel delighted as well. From now on, she’d always be a step ahead of Madisyn, leaving her to watch from the sidelines…

Just as they were lost in their daydreams, Giana’s phone buzzed with a new message. Expecting more praise, she opened it, only to find a link sent by a friend with a cryptic question about what was going on.

Puzzled, Giana clicked on the link, which led to a tweet from Madisyn. The tweet was simple—just a question mark and an audio clip.

Intrigued, Giana tapped play. “Mr. Ruiz, we have reached an agreement to cooperate before, haven’t we?” the voice on the recording began. “Yes, that’s right, because I felt your artist was a good choice before. But in the end, we chose Giana. So, you can go back now… Just wait for my call…”

The entire conversation from the studio had been leaked. Jenna’s arrogance, Elliot’s betrayal… all of it was out in the open.

Jenna, who had been feeling smug just moments ago, heard the recording and leaned in to see the tweet. It was posted by Madisyn. By this time, the tweet had already garnered 50,000 likes and 5,000 comments.

Jenna’s hands trembled as she scrolled through the comments, her face paling with each one she read.

“Damn! I actually believed Giana cared about her fans, but now it turns out she just snatched someone else’s opportunity!”

“There’s no need to be so harsh. Madisyn and her team hadn’t signed a contract with that brand yet, right?”

“Even without a contract, they had a verbal agreement, and then Mr. Ruiz backed out at the last minute. That’s just wrong.”

“Jenna’s tone indicates she did this on purpose. She took Giana there to steal the deal. How shameless!”

“Ugh, disgusting. I had just started to like Giana, but now I’m completely turned off. I’m unfollowing her now.”

“I’m unfollowing too… Bullying a lesser-known artist? Giana’s gone too far. I thought she was different.”

“And Jenna’s no better. So repulsive!”

“Jenna’s only doing this to get back at Madisyn for that dance competition incident… Though, I wonder why Madisyn is in the entertainment industry now.”

Madisyn replied to the last comment, “I like to take on new challenges!”

“OMG! You replied to me! I really love you, Madisyn! You’re the best!”
