Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Violeta ran her fingers through her hair. She looked as if she had stepped out of a painting with her rosy lips and delicate skin. Brandon, who had previously claimed that Violeta wasn't as pretty as Tracy, was instantly proven wrong.

He couldn't stop looking at Violeta.

She's so beautiful!

But she looked familiar...

Brandon thought for a moment and then it hit him.

She's the campus belle of Toland University, the one I had joked about with my friends!

Campus belle from various universities were always a hot topic among young men.

When Violeta's freshman photo from the campus beauty contest spread online, it even reached the other schools' forums.

At the time, students from Starbright Film Academy were debating who was the prettiest.

Brandon and his friends had immediately picked Violeta as the most beautiful one.

She had even surpassed the most popular girls at that time.

If she looked that good in a formal photo, she must be stunning in person.

The room fell silent.

Tracy and the others stared at Violeta in astonishment.

She was much more beautiful than they had imagined.

After taking off her hat, Violeta placed it aside and looked at Cora. "Is it fine now?"

Cora, clearing her throat, said, "Yes."

Winnie and Cora scrutinized Violeta's face and her casual, loose-fitting clothes.

She's a true beauty with that face and figure.

She's perfect for being an idol.

We could save a lot of time editing her photos since she's beautiful.

They hadn't expected the talent scouts to recruit such high-quality young men and women.

"Who do you want to work with?

"Cora or Winnie."

The staff member reintroduced them to Violeta.

Violeta already knew they were agents. She had heard them arguing over Tracy just now.

Newly signed artists either had talked to their preferred agent or were assigned one by the company.

Cora and Winnie were assigned to handle newcomers. They weren't superagents but were decent and professional enough. Violeta's eyelashes fluttered slightly.

Irene had mentioned that someone would come to meet her, so she didn't need to choose between these two agents.

A good agent was crucial for her career's opportunities and resources.

These two didn't appeal to her.

But rejecting them outright might come off as arrogant for a newbie who had just signed a contract.

So Violeta calmly said, "Why don't you let them choose first? I can't decide."

Tracy thought Violeta was being pretentious.

Is she expecting the agents to fight over her too?

At school, Tracy was used to being admired and flattered.

Seeing Violeta's aloof demeanor made her feel disgusted.

Brandon didn't need to choose anyone since an agent had already been assigned to him when he signed the contract.

So it was down to Tracy and Chad.

The company's arrangement seemed odd.

They weren't trainees that needed an agent to manage them in groups.

A one-to-one pairing would be ideal.

But only Cora and Winnie were there, so two of them had to share agents.

Seeing Violeta's stunning looks now made them reconsider their choices.

Cora retorted, "Do you think I'm scared of you?"

In the entertainment industry, resources are limited.

Yet the number of artists increases exponentially each year.

Agents, even within the same company, were both colleagues and competitors.

Whoever brought up an A-list celebrity could walk around the company with their nose in the air.

So they would put in their best effort to fight for newcomers.

The two agents started sniping at each other to win Tracy over.

Violeta looked at them with a straight face.

Tracy shot Violeta a look as if to say, "See? Even with you here, they still chose me."
