Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

The staff member interrupted their argument. "Alright, alright, stop fighting. Hurry up and make your choices. I'm busy."

"Tracy, Chad, Violeta, who do you want to work with? Make your choice."

Chad said, "Let Tracy go first. She seems to be more popular."

Although he didn't understand why they were fighting over Tracy, he assumed they saw more potential in her.

Tracy, feeling proud of being fought over, believed her future in the industry would be bright. After some thought, she decided, "Winnie, I'll go with you!" Winnie was delighted to hear that.

"Tracy, don't worry. I'll make sure you get the best resources!"

Cora, on the other hand, rolled her eyes discreetly, thinking Tracy would regret not choosing her.

Cora then turned to Chad and Violeta. "Violeta, Chad, what about you?"

Violeta wanted to wait a bit longer.

"You go first," she said.

Chad smiled and said, "Cora, I'll be working together with you from now on."

Cora nodded, and then everyone's eyes turned to Violeta.

Violeta was puzzled.

She wondered why hadn't the person who was supposed to meet her arrived yet.

Seeing that she couldn't delay any longer, she said, "Sorry, I've already chosen someone, but they haven't arrived yet."

"Hah!"

Tracy suddenly laughed.

Brandon also looked at Violeta with a mocking expression.

Winnie and Cora frowned.

"What do you mean?"

The staff member was confused.

When she came over with the contract, no one had told her that someone had pre-arranged an agent besides Brandon.

Is Violeta thinking too highly of herself and looking down on Cora and Winnie?

Cora and Winnie's expressions turned sour.

Violeta knew this would offend them, but she had to tell the truth. "Sorry, I just learned this from a phone call earlier. An agent will come to meet me shortly." Cora asked, "Who?"

Violeta replied, "I don't know their name yet."

Hearing Violeta's answer, they naturally assumed she was making excuses.

She didn't want them and preferred another agent.

Their admiration for Violeta instantly turned into disdain.

In the industry, arrogance was a major taboo.

She was just a newbie. Did she think she was a big shot who could pick any agent she wanted?

It would be understandable if she had a wealthy background like Tracy.

Violeta would not succeed with a pretty face and an attitude.

Winnie said, "Fine, fine. You heard her. Let's forget about it since she doesn't want to work with us."

for a newcomer to be assigned a superagent."

There was no precedent for it unless they had connections.

For instance, Hattie. She had the best agent as soon as she entered the industry because she had a celebrity mother.

Did Violeta think she could compare herself to Hattie? Dream on.

Since Tracy had chosen Winnie, Cora had thought Violeta would choose her, which would make her feel better.

Although she missed out on a wealthy girl, having Violeta wasn't bad.

Violeta's appearance was better than Tracy's, but her family background was far inferior.

But no one could predict their success yet.

It depended on luck and audience appeal.

No one expected Violeta to pull an act now.

Cora was visibly displeased and said, "What an arrogant girl."

Violeta knew this would offend them, but she had to be honest just now.

She remained silent, knowing that the more she said, the worse it could get.

Winnie, pleased to have Tracy, was in a better mood than Cora.

But being rejected by a newcomer still irked her.

She had always been the one picking newcomers, not the other way around.

Winnie remarked, "These newbies are something else. They don't

they're being picky. It's baffling.

yet

Tracy, ever the opportunist, immediately agreed, "Winnie, don't bother with people like that. Let's go."

Cora said, wonder what they teach in universities nowadays. Has social media brainwashed them? Do they think having a pretty face is enough? They don't realize the industry is full of pretty faces."
