Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408 Is It Over

While the two of them were still trying to figure things out, Sophia's secretary walked over and said, “Ms. Davis, Ms. Xerxes, I will see you out.”

Sharon was secretly relieved that Sophia had suggested that they leave. She did not want others to recognize her and become a trending topic again for making an apology.

After all, she also wished for the incident to die down. She did not want to provoke Sophia again in the future.

When Sophia noticed Justina was looking at her suspiciously, she smiled and nodded at her.

Hence, Justina decided to withdraw her gaze and leave.

She could not figure out why Sophia, who had been so overbearing earlier, was now letting the matter off so lightly.

On the contrary, Sharon did not think much of it. She believed that she was one of the hottest celebrities in Midway Media; hence, it was impossible for the company to give up on one of the most popular singers in recent years.

She had already shown Sophia enough respect by personally apologizing to her. If Sophia and Samuel, the owner of Midway Media, were friends, the former probably would not want to worsen the matter.

Before leaving, Justina had warned Sharon to behave herself as the matter was tricky, but now the latter sneered inwardly. Sharon glanced at Sophia before she left.

I don't believe that Sophia will do anything to me!

The two held different thoughts as they walked toward the door. Suddenly, Sophia called out, “Wait.”

Justina's heart skipped a beat, and Sharon was also startled.

The two turned around and saw Sophia pick up the gift on the coffee table and walk toward them. “Take it with you. I don't need anything.”

When she spoke, her eyes carried a hint of mockery; her voice was soft but clear. It was like an invisible slap striking Sharon's face directly.

When Sharon heard Sophia's words, her face burned with anger and shame. It was evident that the woman was insulting her as she had not even glanced at the gift since it was presented.

Without knowing the content, Sophia held it out to Sharon and told her to take it back. She even said that she did not need anything. It was definitely a slap in the face.

Justina also heard the sarcasm in Sophia's words. Fearing Sharon could not help but lose her temper on the spot, she quickly reached out and took the bag from Sophia. “Sorry to disturb you, Ms. Yarrow,” she apologized.

Sophia smiled and said nothing, watching the two leave the office. She then turned to her desk, picked up her phone, and sent a WhatsApp message to Katherine: Sharon just came to apologize to me. I forgave her.

The woman then smirked delightfully. It's none of my business if the netizens believe it or not.

After leaving Sunshine Group, Justina felt that something was off.

Although Sophia said she did not hold a grudge and the matter was over, it was clear from their conversation that the woman's attitude toward them was unfriendly.

Despite having interacted with a wide range of people in the entertainment world, this was Justina's first interaction with someone like Sophia.

She was not easily swayed by persuasion no matter what was said. In fact, she had her own way of doing things.

Even though Sophia held no grudges, every word she uttered was subtly insulting them.

Furthermore, she spoke with a grin, making it difficult for them to interpret her true intentions.

After getting in the car, Sharon curled her lips and said, “We've done enough, right?”

Justina turned around and looked at her. She could not help but poke the woman's temple hard and chided, “If you do something like this again, I won't clean up your mess for you ever!”

Sharon knew she was in the wrong. In fact, she regretted sending that short write-up after she had done it last night. But when she saw the online public opinion starting to attack Katherine and Sophia, she secretly felt a sense of satisfaction.

The reason why she agreed to record Going Forward was to improve her image and increase her popularity, in order to secure an endorsement from a major international brand in January next year.

Yet, following the initial airing, Sophia and Katherine were the most popular not her.

Sharon never liked Katherine as she felt the woman had climbed the ranks by relying on men. Sophia was even worse, especially with a face that even prettier compared to Katherine's.

Moreover, Sophia was not even from the industry; she was just an ordinary person. Feeling dissatisfied with all the marketing hype around her, Sharon decided to stir up trouble with the public accounts.

However, she regretted her actions as soon as the posts were sent out. After all, she remembered what had happened a month ago.

Sharon concluded that withdrawing it immediately would make her appear guilty because the damage had already been done.

Now, she just had to apologize in person. She did not need to suffer any serious consequences.

What's there to be afraid of? At worst, I'll just terminate my contract with Midway Media.

Sharon had become popular in recent years, and the support of her fans had made her a little too cocky. Hence, she thought that she was too important for Midway Media to abandon her.

Having been in the industry for fifteen years, Justina had a vast amount of experience.

Everyone knew the relationship between Midway Media's young boss, Samuel, and Alexander. Sophia and Alexander's relationship was even more like an open secret.

Midway Media had already ceased all of Sharon's work after she insulted Sophia, even before the latter protested. It was clear what was happening.

Despite Sharon's apology and Sophia's declaration that the matter was resolved, Justina believed it was not so simple.

Even though Sharon did not think much of it, Justina could not bear to see the woman she had painstakingly nurtured being wrecked.

She had not paid much attention to Sharon before because she was a singer, not an actor. She could sing well, so it was not difficult for her to make a hit.

Sadly, now that she had offended the investors, she could be disregarded at any time, even if she was a popular singer.

Seeing Sharon's nonchalant attitude, Justina scowled and reprimanded, “Don't think this is over yet. Although Sophia won't pursue it, don't forget about the relationship between Samuel and Alexander. All it takes is a word from them, and you'll be ousted from this industry! Besides, you've offended Sophia for no reason twice. The netizens are sharp. Do you think everything is over just because Sophia forgave you after you apologized?”

Sharon's face darkened when she heard Justina's words. “What should I do? I'm just a singer. I have fans because I sing well. I'm not an actor, so I don't need the audience to criticize me.”

Justina sneered, “Don't you have any self-awareness about your own singing ability? If it weren't for the company's marketing efforts in recent years, do you really think you're able to have more than ten million fans on Twitter?”

It was the first time Justina had said such harsh words to Sharon, and she felt like she had been slapped across the face. Her face flushed with embarrassment as she asked, “Wasn't I popular because of my own ability?”

“Do you remember Meryl Wolfe? She no lesser than you. In fact, when she was at the pinnacle of her career, she was much more popular than you are now. But where is she now? Which company dares to sign her?” Justina glared at Sharon coldly.

Meryl Wolfe was a senior who had debuted five years before Sharon. She was also a typical singer, chosen and marketed by the company. However, three years ago, when she was at her peak, she offended someone and was banished from the industry.

Sharon had heard that Merly was seen singing in a pub. She was no longer the diva she once was.

Realizing the severity of the situation, Sharon started to panic. “What should I do, Justina?”

“Wait and see,” Justina replied.

We shall see if Sharon's luck is good or bad.
