Given Selahs current prominence and the medias keen interest in her, Lindseys unexpected visit to Vincents company was bound to attract attention. Anticipating this, Lindsey had alerted Vincent in advance.
Lindsey rode the elevator up to Vincents Lounge. Upon entering, she recognized two familiar figures.
They were Jayleen, the agent director of Vitality Entertainment, and Kristy, the current leading actress.
Kristy looked particularly graceful today, adorned in a floral dress and a pink knitted sweater, her makeup subtle and enhancing her elegant appearance.

Her attire brought back memories of Selah, who was once celebrated as the Queen of Elegance after her rise to fame five years ago.
But unlike Selahs gentle and pure vibe, Kristy emanated an air of arrogance.
Upon noticing Lindsey, Kristy eyed her with a look of disdain.
Lindsey, are you sure youre in the right place? This is Vincents private lounge, off-limits without his approval. I recall you were stopped by the receptionist last time and couldnt even get in. How did you manage to get in today?
Hey, Kristy, were all coworkers from the same company. Please dont say that; itll just make her feel awkward. Jayleen rose from her seat, walked over to Lindsey, and greeted her with a smile. Lindsey, did you come for the role of lead lady in Mr. Lopezs movie?
Lindsey gazed at her and inquired, Miss Archer, why didnt you mention that you were trying to get this part for Miss Chase?
Jayleen grinned. This project is a big deal for the company. I cant bet everything on a new agent who got a promotion through an exception. Lets have a fair competition. Its only natural for anyone with the capability to get the role, dont you think?
Lindsey maintained a composed expression as she spoke, Miss Archer, are you saying Someone who ultimately doesnt secure the role must lack the necessary skills, right?
Thats one way to put it. Jayleen laughed.
Considering Lindseys current assets, grabbing the lead role in Mr. Lopezs movie seemed nearly unattainable.

.
Her sole intention was to use this chance to show that Lindsey wasnt capable, with the ultimate goal of kicking her out of the company !
Kristy let out a snort and struck a pose of arrogance. Lindsey, Mr. Lopez cant stand agents without big-name stars bothering him. I suggest you dont waste your time. Otherwise, your prospects might take a hit if Mr. Lopez shows up and gets annoyed with you.
Lindsey lounged on the sofa and responded indifferently, I appreciate the advice, Miss Chase.
Kristys irritation grew at Lindseys composure. She believed Lindsey landed her job through connections and led a disordered personal life, yet she was quite arrogant.
Recalling the close encounter between Lindsey and the man she met at the racetrack, Kristys resentment towards Lindsey deepened.
Miss Archer, I tried to be kind and remind her, but she didnt take it well. Mr. Lopez is coming later. Maybe you can talk to her? It could get pretty awkward otherwise. Well, you know, Miss Stewart is part of our company too. We cant allow her to bring embarrassment to it in front of Mr. Lopez, can we?
Alright, Ill take your advice. Jayleen put on a pretense of concern and gazed at Lindsey with worry. Lindsey, if Mr. Lopez inquires later, you can mention you came with me. If he finds out you snuck in, he might get angry. It could affect future collaborations.
The lounge door creaked open, and Vincents assistant stepped inside from the outdoors.
Excuse me, is Miss Lindsey Stewart present?
Lindsey rose gracefully. Im here.
