Lindseys expression turned into a frown. She had only mentioned to Jayleen that shed give it a shot. When did she agree to be demoted if she failed?
What a shame! She made the wrong bet! Cant believe Selah, like Lindsey, leads such a scandalous life. They both seem to have climbed the ladder relying on men!
Theyre cut from the same cloth!
There was a burst of laughter in the office.
Lindsey didnt bother to argue with them and walked towards her office. At this time, a voice came from behind. Miss Archer, there you are!
Lindsey stopped and turned around to see Jayleen approaching confidently.
Lindsey, youve surely heard about Selahs 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.
Around the department, others chimed in, With the way public opinion is swaying now, Selahs reputation is in ruins. Its almost certain that Kristy will be the lead in Mr. Lopezs new movie! If certain individuals are wise enough, they should proactively resign from their positions.

Thats right. Better to leave now than be dismissed later. Then she wont be able to show her face ever again!
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 Selahs reputation and elevating Kristys status in the public eye this time.
As a director at Vitality Entertainment, Jayleen was quite cunning, but her methods werent utilized in the right way.
Lindsey nodded with a gentle smile and looked at Jayleen calmly, Miss Archer, do you want to make a bet with me?

.
What bet? Jayleen crossed her arms over her chest and cast a disdainful glance at Lindsey.
If Kristy lands the lead in Mr. Lopezs upcoming movie, Ill leave the company of my own accord. But if Selah gets the part, itll show your lack of judgment. Then, you should step down and make way for someone more competent. Are you up for the bet?
Lindseys proposal immediately sparked a buzz.
Oh my God! Wow, can you believe Lindseys challenging Miss Archer right here?
How can she propose such a bet? Does Selah even stand a chance at getting the role?
No way! Selah has only just returned, and shes currently embroiled in scandals that have tarnished her reputation. Mr. Lopezs upcoming movie is a major investment targeting international awards. Its highly unlikely hed choose a has-been star with a controversial past as the lead. That would be self-sabotage, wouldnt it?
Exactly, Kristy is the ideal choice for both Mr. Lopez and the audience. Lindseys bound to lose!
Jayleens eyebrows lifted in surprise. Just as she was searching for a reason to oust Lindsey from Vitality Entertainment, Lindsey approached her with an offer.
Im confident in Kristys abilities. Ill take that bet. But remember, if you lose, youll have to leave. I do feel a bit sorry for you.
Im prepared for that. Dont worry about me. With a smile, Lindsey scanned the room and said, Everyone 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.
