Later that night, the annual Oscars event was being held at Century Square.
Bailey didn't want to attend it, but she knew Artemis wouldn't go without her.
As such, she had no choice but to give in and attend the event against her will.
The Oscars was regarded as the grandest event in the entertainment industry. Naturally, the guests attending it were all big shots on an international scale.
After exiting the parking lot, Bailey went straight to the event venue and found a rather quiet spot in the corner.
She had just taken her seat when she heard a familiar female voice saying, “Oh, my! If it isn't Fashionista's favorite star, Rainie! What's the matter? The organizers didn't get you a VIP seat?”
“Haha! That's a good one, Ms. Rose! A pretentious nobody like her isn't even worthy of being your assistant! There's no way she'd be given a VIP seat!”
“Exactly! You two are leagues apart! So what if Fashionista spent most of its resources on her? She's a lost cause! She can't even win the Best Supporting Actress award, let alone the Best Actress award! Honestly, it's no surprise why Mr. Zielinski would want to kick her out. She's a worthless piece of crap, so there's no point in keeping her around anyway!”
Everyone burst out laughing after hearing that.
Rainie?
Bailey arched an eyebrow in amusement.
Didn't Sylvester swallow his pride and ask Ratemis to help ensure she gets the Best Actress award? Does she have a grudge against Rose? Heh, I suppose a little competition is unavoidable when you're in the same industry. With someone that powerful backing her up, Rainie might just be able to win this Best Actress award. I bet Rose would be devastated if she lost to Rainie! There's no way a prideful and arrogant woman like her would be able to accept such defeat, but she won't have a choice. A few moments later, she's about to watch Rainie, whom she looks down upon, go on stage to receive the Best Actress award! This is probably the best form of punishment for an arrogant person like her!
Rainie slowly stood up, grabbed her wine glass, and prepared to walk away without saying anything in response.
However, Rose wasn't done with her yet. She quickly motioned at her lackeys, prompting them to step forward and block Rainie's path.
“What's the matter? Did we strike a nerve? Are you feeling so humiliated that you can't take it anymore? Hmph! I'm surprised a mere piece of trash like you would have the audacity to compete for the Best Actress award! What a joke! Do you think you're on the same level as me just because you're working for a subsidiary of LG Corporation? You're nothing! You have no right to compete with me!” Rose yelled.
“That's right! Ms. Rose has won the Best Actress award three times in a row! How dare a mere nobody like you show up at the Oscars?”
“I say we tear up that face of hers and put her in her place! That way, she won't cause Ms. Rose any more problems in the future! Rainie, this is what you get for coveting the Best Actress award! Do you really think you can become the female lead for “Time Warp”? Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror, huh? That role is clearly meant for someone as elegant and beautiful as Ms. Rose!”
Rainie pursed her lips and clenched her fists as she glared at the woman standing on Rose's left. “Stella, we're both working for Fashionista, so that makes us colleagues. How could you team up with an outsider to bully me?”
A look of hatred flashed past Stella Wagner's eyes when she heard that.
If there was one person she hated the most in the entertainment industry, it was none other than Rainie.
All I could do was watch as this woman hogged all of Fashionista's resources, and she had the audacity to call me her colleague. Does her shamelessness know no bounds?
“Oh, I'm not just going to bully you. I'm going to burn that face of yours!” Stella yelled as she grabbed a hot cup of coffee from the table.
