As she complained to her agent on the phone, Shelia looked at Lindsey complacently. Right after she put her phone down, Lindseys phone rang.
Despite feeling wary, Lindsey answered it without hesitation. Sure enough, as soon as the call connected, the agent, Lynne Shelbys voice exploded in her ear. Lindsey Stewart, what on earth is wrong with you? I only asked you to pick her up, but you cant even handle such a small task!
Lynne, I didnt spill the coffee on her, Lindsey explained.
I dont want to hear it. Ive sent someone else to take care of Jasmine. Come back to the office now! With that, Lynne hung up on her.
As soon as Lindsey pocketed her phone, Shelia crossed her arms over her chest and gloated, Oh, youre in trouble now! But you shouldnt take it to heart. In fact, youd better get used to it. After all, youre so incompetent, you cant even handle the simple task of picking up an artist from the airport.
As she spoke, she smirked at Lindsey complacently.
Lindsey rolled her eyes in exasperation. Without saying a word, she headed to the nearest vending machine and bought a can of Coke.
After opening the lid, she went back to Shelia and poured its fizzy contents on top of her head.
What the-?! Shelia let out a piercing scream.
The ice-cold, sticky liquid soaked her hair and streamed down her face, ruining her makeup. She now looked like a drowned rat.

Happy? Lindsey spat.
After saying that, she left without giving Shelia the chance to fight back.
Shelia was so angry that her eyes nearly popped out of her head. She stomped her foot and shouted in a shrill voice, Just you wait and see, Lindsey Stewart! Ill kick you out of Vitality Entertainment sooner or later!
Ignoring her, Lindsey hailed a taxi and headed back to the company.
Lynne was waiting for her in the office.
Lindsey, today is your first day of work. Although youre just an intern for now, youll be officially hired once you graduate. If you cant even handle such a small task, how can I entrust the more important things to you in the future? Lynnes tone wasnt that harsh, but her disappointment was palpable.
I didnt splash coffee on her. Shel-I mean, Jasmine did it herself just to frame me.

.
Lindsey nearly called Shelia by her real name, but fortunately, she caught herself in time. She didnt want anyone to know that Jasmine was actually her stepsister, lest she get herself into more unnecessary trouble.
Lynne looked at the resolute girl standing in front of her. Indeed, Lindsey didnt look like the type who would spill coffee on someone for no reason. Besides, Lynne knew that Jasmine could be unreasonable and domineering at times. Still, Lynne hadnt witnessed what happened in the airport with her own two eyes, so she couldnt tell who was really at fault.
Alright, but be careful next time, Lynne sighed. She saw Lindsey as an apprentice, and she sincerely wanted to train her well. Lindsey, its important to understand as early as now that the workplace is different from school. You have to learn the art of diplomacy. And working in an entertainment company is more challenging than working in other fields. Youll encounter a lot of artists who are even more difficult to deal with than Jasmine. So if you dont watch your back, you might not be cut out for this job.
Lindsey lowered her head and nodded in silence.
She walked out of Lynnes office and returned to her desk with her head still down. She knew that Lynne had only said those things for her own good, and she really appreciated it. However, even though it was all Shelias fault, she still felt terrible for having screwed up her first task.
Just then, her phone rang.
As soon as Lindsey saw the caller ID, her knitted brows relaxed a little.
