Chapter 1251


    The documents Thssa had to work on were for the new smartphone ad campaign for the Crawley


    Group.


    Thetest smartphone needed a fresh ad campaign, and they were sticking with the same agency that


    had nailed itst time.


    That afternoon, Thssa found herself at the agency''s headquarters, overseeing the shoot herself.

    Thanks to the previous ad''s hit, the agency''s head honcho had a fair bit of faith in Thssa''s


    judgement, leaving the creative direction in her hands.


    The gig this time required a model with faux wings, ying the part of an angel and ascending into the


    sky with the phone in hand, capturing snapshots.


    The pitch was catchy, “Lipo, crystal rity no matter how high you soar. Snap your beauty from the


    heavens, a celestial experience.”


    Zane, the agency''s lead,id out the shoot''s specifics to Thssa, aiming to nail the concept.


    Thssa nodded, "Sounds good. Roll with it. I''ve got to head back to the office this afternoon."


    "Come on, don''t bail on us. Without you here, we''ll be doing retakes for days. Stay until we wrap this


    up, then you can jet," a female voice chimed in.


    Thssa turned towards the sound and saw Susan sauntering in, backpack slung over her shoulder,


    her hair in a high ponytail, chewing gum with a smirk on her lips.


    Seeing Susan never did Thssa any favors mood-wise. She smiled thinly, "Susan, that was quick. No


    need for the heavy makeup anymore, I see."


    The jab hit home—Susan knew Thssa was poking at theirst encounter when she had pped


    Susan. Her face darkened, the gum suddenly tasteless. Spitting it out, she hissed, "Disappointed,


    aren''t you? I''m still the lead here. I need Ms. Everhart''s guidance to ace this."


    Thssa nced at the discarded gum, still gleaming with Susan''s spite, as distasteful as the woman


    herself.


    "If Susan can''t cut it, we can always recast," Thssa''s voice was icy.


    Ken, sensing the tension thick enough to cut, stepped in to smooth things over, "Ms. Everhart, you


    might not be aware, but we''re under contract with Susan. We can''t rece her just yet. Plus, the


    Crawley Group has their input on the ad. You might as well stick around and make sure it''s done right."


    Thssa shot Zane a look that said it all, "We''re all here to work, no need to grovel."


    With that, she headed to the set, dismissing Susan with her indifference.


    Thssa had always known how to separate personal grudges from professionalism.


    Since the Crawley Group had their stakes in the ad, it made sense to stay on set. No need to let


    Susan''s presence drive her away.


    Susan watched Thssa check the props, her expression a storm of envy and venom. Did Thssa


    think she was untouchable just because of Lysander''s backing?


    What would she be without him?


    And that flip in attitude only fueled Susan''s bitterness even more.


    Susan was at her breaking point. New chаpter av?ble on Drаmanоvels.cом


    But with her finances in ruins, she had to earn a paycheck.


    Biting back her rage, she strode towards the studio exit, where the makeup artist was waiting.
