Chapter 395 Unique Taste
Elspeth took a few steps forward and grabbed the woman by her chin, cutting the woman off. Then, she moved her face left and right to observe her.
“Let’s not talk about how evil you are. Your appearance alone is unsatisfactory.”
The young lady, who had been receiving praises about her appearance since she was young, was so mad she turned pale upon hearing that. Still, she couldn’t refute Elspeth’s words now.
On one hand, Elspeth’s appearance was indeed several levels higher than hers. On the other hand, Elspeth was now the superior CEO of the company. The young lady was only an extra who had no right to pick a quarrel with Elspeth.
“Miss Lynwood, you have misunderstood me.”
The people around didn’t know what happened. All they saw was Elspeth seemingly intimidating the young lady, leaving the young lady sobbing with tears that threatened to fall.
Everyone was in a bad mood for not being selected. After seeing this, they started criticizing Elspeth.
“What a mean CEO.”
“I’m glad I wasn’t chosen. I think I’ll go crazy from being supervised by someone like this if I worked for this company.”
“Hush. She can hear you. Don’t forget that the show is hers now.”
“Damn. Is she really that unreasonable?”
…
“Stop speaking up for me! It will be bad if you are implicated because of me.” The young lady thought that the power of a group could hold Elspeth down. Elspeth would surely find it hard to defend herself when everyone started questioning her.
Unfortunately for her, things didn’t turn out the way she hoped.
Elspeth had a small smile on her face when she turned her head and threw a glance at the crowd. “She is right. What she said is true. Keep gossiping if you don’t want to be extras anymore. I guarantee that you will never have a place in the entire entertainment industry.”
As the CEO of Azure, she dominated half of the entertainment industry. She was not scared of the rubbish a few no-name extras spouted here.
She didn’t even worry about being treated like a joke if this incident became public.
Those who stood out against her on the young lady’s behalf out of indignation now pretended they weren’t involved as they turned their eyes away.
The small crowd soon dispersed.
“Hey!”
The young woman’s eyes darted between the crowd and Elspeth. Soon, she stomped her feet before she scurried away in shame and anger.
Elspeth then glanced indifferently at Agnes and reminded, “Open your eyes and take a good look before you make friends from now on. Don’t think that everyone is your friend.”
“Yes, Miss Lynwood.”
Agnes was indeed alarmed because of what happened earlier. “Friend” isn’t a word in my dictionary, she concluded.
“Alright, it’s getting late now. Come to the company with me. I have something else to talk to you about.”
Agnes nodded upon hearing that. Something must have come to mind again when she lifted her chin and gingerly uttered, “Miss Lynwood, there is something I would like to ask.”
“What is it?” Elspeth was already expecting this.
“May I ask why you picked me out of so many people? I’m not the prettiest, nor the most talented.”
“In regard to your first question, I do think that you’re the most good-looking one among the bunch.”
Agnes was obviously taken aback. Even though people had praised her for being good-looking over the years, they wouldn’t say that she was the prettiest in the group. That was why she was somewhat surprised by Elspeth’s reply.
“As for the second question, how do you know you are not the most talented one if you haven’t tried?”
Agnes was completely convinced when she heard that. Every word this CEO of hers said seemed to make a lot of sense.
