Chapter 676


    At six in the morning, she left the Premier Pce and made her way to Ster Stage Entertainment.


    There were paparazzi camped out at the entrance of Ster Stage Entertainment. Catching sight of her,


    they shouldered their cameras and moved in.


    “Brielle, word has it you’re the new head honcho at Ster Stage Entertainment. How’d yound the top


    spot?”


    “Is it true you’ve got a little something–something going on with Director John?”


    “Did you know Director Amelia sted you on social mediast night?”


    This was Brielle’s first close–up with the entertainment industry’s hounds, and she was out of her


    comfort zone. Despite running on no sleep and with a head full of clutter, she faced these questions


    with a stoic expression, addressing the cameras. “Director Amelia might want to keep her phone lines


    clear because she’ll soon be receiving a subpoena for spreading rumors. I’d advise some caution in her


    statements as she is a public figure.”


    With that, she pushed past the microphones and headed inside.


    “Brielle, cut the act! You’ve been trending before! When you were a director at Dorsey International,


    rumors swirled that you climbed thedder by cozying up to a string of men, and that’s why you got


    demoted to Ster Stage Entertainment.”


    Brielle stopped in her tracks and turned to face the male reporter who had spoken. He had a weaselly


    look about him, the type who thrived on stirring the pot.


    “Who says I cozied up to a bunch of men? Got any proof?” She crossed her arms, her


    brow firm with confidence.


    “Or is it because of my looks that people think that’s the only way I could ge? to where I am? My track


    record at Dorsey International is crystal clear. Since I started there, I’ve handled at least thirty major


    mergers and acquisitions involving billions of dors. I’ve been at the top of the performance reviews


    every year. As for cozying up to men, do you care to give specifics? Or do you mean to say that an


    attractive andpetent woman can only have gotten ahead on her looks?”


    Brielle deftly shifted the focus, turning the question into an issue of gender bias, which immediately


    stirred the female reporters.


    “Wasn’t there a report that said she aced her college entrance exams and was top of her ss at


    Beaconsfield College?”


    “That’s right, and she represented Dorsey International at international auctions abroad while she was


    still quite young, rubbing shoulders with the North American moguls. Everyone saw that live broadcast.


    She was quite self–assured.”


    The female reporters exchanged nces, their demeanor softening.


    11:37


    “Ms. Brielle, are you really going to sue Amelia?”


    By now, Brielle had entered the lobby and nced at her phone. “Sorry, folks, if you’re


    looking for an interview, please schedule a time. I’m not a celebrity. I’ve got a


    meeting to attend. Any other questions can be directed to our PR department, who will arrange a press


    conference. Also, I’ve just secured a coboration with Mr. Kenzo, and Ster Stage Entertainment is


    looking to bring even better content to our audience soon, so stay tuned.”


    The mere mention of Kenzo made the crowd seem as though they’d been struck dumb. Ster Stage


    had snagged the rights to a Kenzo script?


    That was unbelievable. Countlesspanies had been shut out trying to coborate with Kenzo, who


    penned no more than two scripts a year. Histest project had been fiercely coveted. Yet, Ster Stage


    Entertainment had quietly secured the rights.


    Brielle offered a warm smile, her aloof aura melting away. “See you next time.”


    Those who’de with an agenda to smear her felt a sudden warmth at her smile. Everyone loved to


    see cute girls.


    By the time they snapped out of it, Brielle was already ascending in the elevator. As the elevator doors


    closed, the smile faded from Brielle’s face, and she listened in silence to the sound of its ascent.


    As soon as she reached the top floor, she received a call from Mason. Thepany, Book, had thrown


    down the gauntlet. They had toe up with a counterstrategy this month.

    Brielle felt a wave of irritation. “I’m aware. Book’s project is being spear who probably wants to take a


    big bite out of us with a major news sto they’re stirring up trouble.”
