The woman immediately leaped up in front of me when Cindy remained silent. She grabbed my wrist and began to complain.
"Wanda, you're finally here. You have no idea what Cindy has done. She's been misbehaving when you're not here. She ignores the rules and regulations that you previously set. And she brought that unknown celebrity of hers over to piggyback on the popularity of others. She forcibly increases her social influence, steal others' resources, and frequently has the celebrity show up at the airport!
"What's more, she insists on having that celebrity attend those events when her name isn't even on the name list. You have no idea what the other celebrities are saying. They're saying that the people in
our company have no class."
I noticed that her taking a glimpse of Cindy from the corners of her eyes while she was telling me all this.
I knew what she meant. Everyone knew what had happened between Cindy and me back then.

I glanced at the woman, gently pushed her hands away, and asked, "Do you think the people in our company have no class, then?
There was no seriousness in my tone, but it would be a wise choice for her to answer the question with a no.
Even though she thought Cindy was such a person, she would not be able to say it.
She had no choice but to shake her head.
"If that's not the truth, then why should you be concerned with what they're saying? I guess there's no need for me to remind you what I've told you before about surviving in the entertainment industry," I said.
I smiled and looked at her. She was too embarrassed to say anything to me.
However, I could see that she was unconvinced from the expression on her face, so I mentioned something else.
“I heard you talking something about the endorsement contract when I came in here Before I could finish my sentence, the agent immediately explained, "Oh, here's the thing. Jessie caught the attention of the marketing manager of an advertising company when she went out that day.
