"Hey, Emma, how's Allison doing on set these days?" Paige hadn't reported back, so Patty was still in the dark about Valeria's candid shots going viral.
Emma replied, "She's doing alright."
"Emma, I need to talk to you about something. Can you hop on a video call on WhatsApp?"
Emma knew right away that Patty had something serious to discuss. She was still in Allison's room, helping her with lines. She glanced at Allison, who gave her a nod.
Emma closed the curtains and started the video call, putting the phone on speaker so Allison could listen in.
"I've got some news," Patty's voice came through the speakers, "Allison was supposed to play the lead in Jennifer's movie 'Day Zero,' but she's not going to get the part. After some talks with the production teams, she got cut."
Emma and Allison had a feeling this might happen.
Allison's face turned icy, signaling Emma to end the call and not argue anymore.
Emma said, "I understand."
Thinking Emma was intimidated, Patty chuckled, "Emma, you've got potential. You could do well managing other talents without Allison. I have plenty of newcomers I could assign to you if you're interested. Why stick with Allison? You won't get anywhere with her. Just so you know, 'Day Zero' was secured tonight. Miranda called Mr. Sears herself, pushing for Penelope. When Mrs. Lindberg speaks, no one dares to argue. Miranda's backing Penelope, who, by the way, is a bona fide Lindberg family heiress. From now on, any role Allison wants, if Penelope wants it, it's hers. Penelope's back on her feet and ready for a full comeback."
