They told me you landed the job through connections and have a chaotic personal life. Theyre pushing the company to demote you!
Lindsey fought to hold back her tears and swallowed her frustration.
She hung her head and apologized to Jayleen, Im really sorry for causing you trouble.
Jayleen cast a glance her way and let out a small sigh. I can lend a hand in keeping their anger at bay for now, but youve got to prove your skills on the job. Ive got a suggestion for you. The director Vincent Lopez has been casting actors for his upcoming movie.
Our company is keen on it. If you can land our artists the starring roles in this film, Im sure everyone will be mighty impressed with you!
Do you want me to get my artists in the spotlight for his new movie?
Yes, Jayleen replied firmly.
Lindseys eyes widened in shock. Vincent was famous for being extremely selective with his casting. The actors who snagged the leading roles in his films all ended up as A-list stars and only a handful of Vitality Entertainments artists got that chance. It was worth noting that most of them were already Best Actor or Best Actress winners before they stepped into Vincents movie world.

But there was one exception, Kristy Chase, a renowned actress who had won the Best Actress award thrice.
When she kicked off her career, she was a relatively unknown actress.
Vincent saw something special in her talent and thought she had a gift, so he asked her to join his latest movie. Once the movie hit the screen

.
s, she won three movie awards. In no time, she transformed from an unknown rookie into the hottest female star in the country.
But, once Kristy ascended to A-list status, she switched from her initial agent to Jayleen.
You might say that Jayleen had quite a grip on most of the companys top-notch celebrities.
Lindsey, a new agent, had inherited only the less desired artists from Lynne. Getting them a leading role in Vincents movie seemed nearly impossible.
Jayleen gave Lindseys shoulder a reassuring pat. I get it, its a challenging task, but youve got to tackle something that others think is impossible. Thats the only way to shake off the negative public perception and show the company made the right call with you.
The public is furious now, and I cant keep them in check forever.
The company has never demoted someone during their probation. Lets hope you wont be the first.
Lindsey felt she had no choice but to accept the challenge, so she nodded in agreement, Alright, Ill give it a shot.
After Lindsey left, a sly smile crept onto Jayleens face.
Lindsey quickly earned Emilios favor and snagged that promotion. It was clear shed be a formidable rival for Jayleen down the road. So, Jayleen rallied her loyal crew to start some gossip about Lindsey in the company and dared her to take on this nearly impossible task.
If Lindsey failed to secure any movie role, Jayleen would have the perfect excuse to fire her.
As the evening drew close, Lindsey left the office with a weighty burden, pondering how to tackle this challenging mission.
Upon returning home, Domenic was nowhere in sight. He hadnt been around for several days.
Feeling a sense of loss and overwhelmed by the days events, Lindseys spirits hit rock bottom.
