“Of course, otherwise I wouldn’t havee.” If you want to seed, besides hard work, there are shortcuts avable.


    And this shortcut was the only way she had chosen for herself.


    “Now that you’ve made your choice, let’s get started.”


    Alex had been here for a very long time, and Jane couldn’t reach her. It had been three days already.


    The variety show had also been postponed, and Jane was getting frustrated in her office.


    At this moment, an assistant rushed over anxiously. “Boss, we can’t reach Alex. What should we do? The director is getting angry.”


    Jane was well aware of this, but ever since she left the housest time, there had been no news about her.


    She had no idea where she had gone.


    This uncertainty was making Jane extremely anxious.


    “Let’s wait a little longer. Maybe we’ll receive some news soon.”


    No sooner had Jane finished speaking than her phone rang, startling her. She turned around and saw that it was a call from the director.


    The shows Alex had participated in so far were not difficult. She just needed to bravely showcase herself.


    But the director’s callpletely shocked Jane.


    “Jane, I trusted you and brought this person in. Why haven’t we seen her yet?”


    Jane quickly put on a smiling face, apologized, and begged for forgiveness. “I’ll find her right away and send her to you.”


    The director on the other end coldly snorted and hung up the phone.


    Jane was so angry that she threw her phone, not her personal one, but the one that had been in the office all along.


    The assistant carefully picked it up and asked, “What should we do now?”


    Jane’s eyes were filled with anger. “Wait!”


    They waited in the office, expecting Alex to appear. Jane couldn’t believe that Alex could stay hidden forever.


    Three hours passed, but there was still no sign of Alex.


    No matter how many times Jane called, there was no answer!


    “Boss, should we give up on her?” Usually, when they couldn’t reach someone, they would choose to give up and not hold any hope for that person.


    But today, Jane had to find her.


    Disappearing for several days without a trace would anger anyone.


    It was only in the evening that Jane finally received a call from Alex.


    “Sorry, I already exined it to the director. Please don’t arrange any new variety shows for me during this time. I’ve taken on a TV drama myself, and I’ll be joining the production in a few days!”N?velDrama.Org content.


    Alex’s words didn’t carry a hint of remorse; it was amand, informing Jane.


    “Even if you want to take on a TV drama, shouldn’t you discuss it with your agent?” Jane tried to calm herself down, afraid that her anger would affect the child in her womb.


    “I want to be more popr, but you can’t make it happen. I have to find my own way.” It seemed like everything was Jane’s fault.


    “Alright, since you want to pursue your own development, I won’t force you. I’ll provide you with the resources you deserve, but I won’t allow you to take the wrong path through illegitimate channels.” There were too many temptations in their industry.


    Many young people couldn’t resist those temptations and would end up going astray.


    Jane was afraid that Alex would fall into that trap and tarnish her own reputation.


    “You don’t need to worry about my affairs.”


    Seeing Alex’s indifference, Jane decided not to say much and let her be.


    And so, a week passed peacefully, and Jane finally canceled all the arrangements she had made for Alex.


    Meanwhile, news about Alex had been continuously circting.


    All sorts of negative news surfaced.


    Jane paid no attention to them, as she had chosen this path for herself.


    “Boss, something bad has happened!” An assistant rushed over, holding a tablet and panting.


    “Don’te to me in such a panic every time. Even if I had ten hearts, they wouldn’t be able to withstand your scares,” Jane couldn’t help but give her a nk look.


    This assistant was someone she had personally brought up, and their rtionship was good. They were used to teasing each other.


    The assistant ced the tablet in front of Jane, pointing to a piece of news. “Negative news is spreading online, and Alex’s image has taken a huge hit.”


    Jane looked at the news, which boldly stated, “Alex achieved sess through shady means.” It even included two explicit pictures, clearly showing Alex’s face.


    The pictures also revealed ambiguous poses between two people.


    “Boss, what should we do? Reporters have alreadye back to ourpany, and we can’t escape this time,” the assistant was extremely worried but couldn’te up with a solution.


    Jane nced at the news but didn’t pay much attention. “Let the reporters stay downstairs if they want. Don’t bother about them. Also, help me contact Alex.”


    At this point, Alex should make an appearance.


    Sure enough, shortly after Jane made the call, Alex appeared in thepany building.


    “Now that things have escted, shouldn’t you, as the agent, handle the public rtions?” Alex was familiar with the way things worked in this industry and startedmanding Jane.


    “I already mentioned before that we only have an employment rtionship. You have to pay me for every contract I offer you. If you want me to handle this matter through public rtions, you must provide the necessary fees,” Jane was no pushover. She couldn’t allow herself to be bullied for no reason, especially when she had repeatedly given face to Alex, only to be trampled upon.


    “How much money do you want?”


    Jane wrote down a number on a piece of paper and showed it to her.


    “Are you crazy? Why would it cost so much?” Alex stood up abruptly upon seeing it, pointing at Jane’s nose in usation.


    Jane chuckled lightly and calmly exined, “Don’t forget, this news about you isn’t easy to retract. It has already been captured by others, revealing such a disgraceful side of you.”


    “I admit I was caught, but it’s not entirely my fault…,” Alex’s exnation sounded feeble, and anger made their entire body tremble.


    “Now that you’ve admitted to it, this incident, I had warned you not to use such improper means to climb up, but you didn’t listen!” Jane had already advised Alex not to resort to such tactics, but she hadn’t listened.


    “I didn’t have a choice at that time! None of that was sincere. Why do you have to dwell on this small matter?” Alex, now alone with Jane in the office, vented their anger in various ways.


    Jane, however, showed no signs of anger.
