Chapter 271


    Agnes hit the office bright and early


    She had a jam-packed schedule for the day.


    Emily, Agnes’ assistant, was freaking out: “Agnes, have you seen the news? You’re making headlines!”


    “Haven’t I been in the headlinestely? Whatever”


    Emily looked super stressed: “This is different. Agnes, you need to talk to the boss about handling this

    PR crisis. Mamie is the boss’s sister, as long as he steps in, this thing will blow over quickly.”


    Agnes, however, retorted, “Why should I take crap lying down? If these people want to stir up trouble,


    let them. The bigger the fuss, the better.”


    Both Emily and the makeup artist working on Agnes were taken aback.


    This was totally out of character for Agnes.


    It seemed like she had been seriously wronged. Or maybe it was because all the rumors were saying


    that Mamie was Jared’s old me, and Agnes was the other


    woman


    She must have been at the end of her rope.


    Still, Emily was worried. Agnes might have skyrocketed in poprity thanks to “The Magical Romance


    of Cindere”, but she wasn’t in a position to go head-to-head with Mamie


    Agnes asked Emily, “Is the itinerary for the SH G arranged?”


    Emily snapped back to reality and excitedly said, “Agnes, I have good news and bad news, which one


    do you want to hear first?”


    Agnes said, “Give me the good news first.”


    Emily looked smug: “The good news is, thanks to ‘The Magical Romance of Cindere, you’ve been


    nominated for Best Actress at the SH G. Agnes, you’ve just debuted, and to be nominated at the


    most prestigious film and TV g in the country is unprecedented. It’s enough to make countless


    starlets green with envy.”


    Agnes was surprisingly calm after hearing the news: “And the bad news?”


    Emily’s face fell: “The bad news is that Mamie is also nominated. She’s won Best Actress three years


    in a row, so it’s likely she’ll win again. But Agnes, just being nominated is an amazing aplishment,


    so you shouldn’t worry too much about the oue.”


    Agnes seemed deep in thought.


    After a while, Faye suddenly came over “Agnes, the boss wants to see you in his office”


    Agnes acknowledged. She was scheduled to do a cover shoot for a magazine this morning. The shoot


    was in Century Building’s own studio, so she had plenty of time.


    Agnes went to Ivan’s office


    Ivan put down his newspaper as Agnes walked in.


    Agnes approached him and asked “Did you need something?”


    “There’s something I wanted to get your opinion on. QN Jewelry wants you to be their spokesperson,


    the contract is for one year. Would you consider it?”


    “ON Jewelry? Why would such a big brand want me?”


    Ivan smiled and said “They’reunching a new product, targeting a pink and youthful style. They think


    your performance in ‘Cindere’ fits their needs perfectly”


    Agnes replied, “But I don’t n on getting deeper into the entertainment industry.”


    Ivan said, “I understand your concern. You’ve always been reluctant to sign contracts, and I respect


    that. If you don’t want to, I won’t force you. But the endorsement fee is close to a million dors. If you


    turn it down, I’m afraid you might regret it.”
