Nancy knocked on John’s head. “Hey! Speak properly!”
“Haha… I meant I’ll be counting on Kate’s cooking to fill my stomach,” John explained, rubbing his head.
Not bothered by John’s choice of words at all, Kathleen went to the kitchen to prepare the food.
The others did not idle around. They proceeded to clean the dining table, and then assisted Kathleen in the kitchen.
In the meantime, Kylie went to see Cain. “I want to quit!”
Speechless, Cain looked at her. “Are you sure?”
Kylie said angrily, “In any case, I don’t want to be in this show anymore! Why don’t you guys tell Kathleen to be polite to me? I can’t stand her!”
Cain replied, “You should just quit then. You can’t afford to offend her. Do you think we can?”
Kylie responded grimly, “Mr. Dodson, you guys are cowards!”
Cain let out a sneer. “Cowards? Kathleen has done nothing wrong. What’s there to talk about?”
Is it true that Kylie has lost her mind?
Cain added, “If you wish to quit, get your manager to talk to us.” Then, he ignored her and turned around.
Kylie was indignant. She actually wanted to stay in the show.
However, she did not want Kathleen to outshine her.
Even if Kathleen had won the Academy Award for Best Actress, Kylie did not want to lose to her.
During their first encounter, Kylie could tell that Kathleen would be the biggest threat to her in the show.
Kathleen was exceptionally gorgeous!
She was practically a shining star!
Kylie was very envious of her.
We’re both actresses. Why does she get all the attention and fame? I didn’t think she’d be such a tough opponent.
At that moment, her phone rang.
She went out to answer the call.
Her manager snapped at her over the phone, “Are you nuts? Why did you offend Kathleen? Why did you complain to Mr. Dodson? This is a live broadcast. I can’t clear your name even if I want to!”
Kylie pursed her lips. “It’s just a live broadcast. What’s the big deal? She may have won the Academy Award for Best Actress, but I’m a popular actress too.”
Her manager was speechless. “Did you knock your head? Samuel debunked the rumor right after you accused Kathleen of being abandoned by him. It’s obvious that he is still in love with her even though they’re divorced! Moreover, Christopher is her fiancé now. Can you afford to offend her?”
“I don’t want to lose to her!” Kylie replied in dismay.
“Suit yourself! Quit if you want to. You breached the contract. You pay the price. It’ll be threefold the amount of your remuneration. The representative from Astra Entertainment is dealing with the management now. Your bad days are coming!”
With that, her manager hung up the phone furiously.
Kylie was dumbfounded.
Why isn’t the company defending me? The drama starring Steve and me is on air right now. I’ll be famous soon. I’ll be generating lots of profit for the company! How could they give up on me? What should I do now?
After dinner, Kathleen and the others went back to their rooms.
The production team provided them with accommodation right next to the restaurant.
It was a three-story building.
Kathleen and Nancy would be staying on the third floor.
They were given one room each.
Kathleen’s belongings had been delivered by the time she returned to her room.
She opened the cases, took out her pajamas, a towel, and some toiletries, and went to take a shower.
After that, she sat by her bedside and picked up her phone.
Charles had texted her: I’ve contacted Kylie’s talent agency. I intend to acquire it.
Kathleen replied to his text: Why do you always acquire companies without reason? Where did you learn that?
