Her agent was calling.

She moved to a quieter corner and picked up.

“Hannah.”

“Valeria, we've lost the ID endorsement deal."

“What? Weren't you confident that I'd be their new spokesperson? How was it taken? Who took it away?" Valeria asked, taken aback.

ID was a renowned jewelry brand.

Their contract with their former spokesperson had expired, so they were in search of a new face.

Valeria's agent had escorted her to several social events and they were on the brink of striking a deal with ID.

How had it slipped away so suddenly?

“Eleanor undercut our rate to secure the spokesperson position."

Eleanor! This was the Last straw!

Valeria frowned and fell silent.

The agent continued, “Valeria, it's clear Eleanor purposely poached your opportunity. Did you offend her on set? You're aware that Brian backs her, right? Didn't I suggest you curry favor with her?"

At this, Valeria was incensed.

“Hannah, how can you blame me? You're the one who took this role for me. Eleanor sees me as her competition and makes life difficult for me. I refuse! I refuse to bow to her!"

A little distance away, Rosalynn paused in her redesign work and cast a glance at Valeria.

Valeria ended the call with a grim expression.

"Valeria, what happened? You seem upset."

Valeria inhaled deeply and approached her.

“It's all Eleanor's fault.

She deliberately stole my endorsement. My agent was of no help in recovering it and instead criticized me for not appeasing Eleanor. Eleanor's behavior is deplorable, and I refuse to pander to her."

Her words stirred a thought in Rosalynn.
