Chapter 29
Cindy had intricate makeup done on her and looked very elegant.
In fact, Grace knew that the news was good for Cindy because everyone misunderstood that she was having an affair with Heinz.
Being related to such a young and successful entrepreneur, Heinz Jones, Cindy now has gained a strong foothold in show business after getting labeled as Heinz Jones's lover.
Grace nodded and put her hand into her pocket. She looked neither humble nor pushy. "Miss White, what can I do for you?"
"Come in and close the door," Cindy said in a low voice.
Grace closed the door and sat down.
Cindy frowned and said sharply, "Miss Smith, how are you going to compensate me?"
Grace was a little stunned. "Compensate you?"
Cindy looked at Grace and said coldly, "Now the fake news you've created has made all agencies terminate my contracts. All the movies I'm acting on are temporarily on hold. Do you know how much I have lost because of your news?"
After being bombarded by Cindy, Grace no longer felt guilty for her action.
As far as Grace knew, everyone in the office was gossiping about how Cindy's advertisement contracts had skyrocketed because of the news with Heinz, and all kinds of movie deals were coming to her. Now Cindy was actually saying that she would lose money because of the news?
Grace looked into Cindy's eyes and said, "Miss White, you seem to forget what my job is about."
Cindy's face darkened, and her eyes dodged Grace's. 'Of course, I know you are a paparazzi with no good intentions."
"Your words are full of contempt for the media. I don't know where your attitude comes from, but as far as I know, your advertisement contracts has increased multiple folds yesterday. You should thank us and Mr. Jones."
Cindy's face froze and she denied it, "How so? I lost a dealership. Because of your news, I lost the right to be the ambassador of Heinz's company."
Grace was stunned. Did Heinz terminate the contract with Cindy in order to avoid suspicion?
Grace remembered what happened that night, she did not forget how Cindy looked when initiated to sleep with Heinz. Her seductive actions that disgusted Heinz. Considering those, one of them could be the reason for the termination.
"Miss White, you win some and lose some in life. You lost the endorsement deal with the Heinz's group but you gained so many other offers."
"I've lost Heinz's Group's contracts. If the news spreads, who will come to me?" Cindy said sharply, "It's your false news that affected me. You have to compensate me for this."
Grace paused for a moment and said, "Miss White, why are you talking to me about compensation. It seems that you found the wrong person."
"I am not wrong." Cindy said in a low voice, "Don't you dare think that I don't know that it was you who took the pictures of Heinz and I."
Grace did not deny it. "Yes, I did."
"So, you have to compensate me." Cindy said determinedly.
"Sorry, Miss White. If you want compensation, you should go to our company. I am an individual. First, I am only an employee of the company. There are directors and people in charge of the company I work for. Second, since you know that you may be photographed at any time, you should never engage in anything inappropriate."
Unexpectedly, Grace blurted these statements out. Cindy was furious. "It is you, reporters, who make our lives so troublesome."
Grace was speechless.
Grace felt that she had better not speak further. She felt that if Cindy, as a star actress, should strive to be a good role model young people, instead of engaging in inappropriate behavior in public. She would not be photographed if she had not done it anything wrong.
Seeing that Grace did not speak, Cindy rolled her eyes and said, "If you can do me a favour, this matter may be written off."
Grace looked at Cindy's expression and frowned. "Miss White, I am not in the mood to make a deal with you."
Cindy's eyes flashed fiercely. She suddenly waved her hand and slapped Grace. "You're so arrogant, aren't you?"
Grace frowned, irritably raised her hand and slapped Cindy back.
"Bang bang!" Slaps fell on Cindy's face from both sides.
