Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 362

A few endorsement deals started rolling in after Violeta signed a contract with SEVITL.

However, Eugene wasn't about to let Violeta accept just any offer.

Back then, Violeta might have taken on anything as long as the money was good. But now, with SEVITL on board, her profile had risen.

Accepting lower-tier gigs could tarnish SEVITL's image along with her own.

The brands would also be dissatisfied.

It was a trade-off: the higher she climbed, the more selective she had to be.

They had some free time on their hands, so Eugene arranged for Violeta to undergo specialised training which focused on posture and expression management.

"We've swooped in and taken a lot of opportunities from others," Eugene said, "so it's best to lay low for a while."

Violeta nodded in agreement, "Fine."

Eugene's tone turned stern, "Beauty, for the next year, we also need to solidify your position. No mistakes that could harm your commercial value. We need at least one hit drama to secure our endorsements."

Aster agreed, "Sure. Since Ms. White signed SEVITL's spokesperson contract, everyone is envious. Even though it's just for a year, they're all hoping for a failure."

Eugene continued, "I'll push for a top-tier scriptwriter. Emilie Robinson has some promising material. She's a top-tier writer who wrote the wildly successful 'Winter Kingdom Trilogy'. I've heard she's about to start a new project ... "

"No need, Mr. Scott," Violeta interrupted.

Eugene looked surprised. "What's wrong?"

Violeta lowered her head before declaring firmly, "I want to star in Danielle's drama."

Eugene was speechless.

The room fell silent for a few seconds.

Eugene frowned. "Do you mean 'Nirvana and Rebirth'?"

Aster chimed in, "Ms. White, have you thought this through? Danielle is just an intern scriptwriter. I heard she struggled to find work after graduating and spent years mooching off her family before finally landing an internship. Choosing her is a huge risk!"

"If she were capable, she wouldn't have been living off her family," Aster added disdainfully.

She looked down at Danielle, who lived off her parents.

Mooched off one's parents was indeed a disgraceful act that anyone with a sense of integrity would look down upon.
