Worried that they would start quarreling with each other, Edie stopped Danny, "Danny." Hearing her voice, Danny calmed himself down a little bit, pointing at Edie, "You need to tell what happened."
"I promise that everything said on the internet was not true. I have never been a mistress of anyone. I never targeted Zoe Anna. Though I did have some conflicts with her, these are mostly because of my taking over her role. She hated me for that. Therefore, she wanted revenge."
Maggie Lima, who blamed Edie, hated her, too, "It takes two to make a quarrel. If you didnât do anything, how come she keeps starting a conflict with you?" Danny looked at her, "Come here; let us see whether it requires two to make a quarrel."
She was so angry and bit down on her teeth. Trying her best to control her anger, "Danny, are you really going to help her out?"
"Quite interesting. If I donât help my girl, what else should I do? Ruin her like all of you are trying to do to her? To reduce the damage, you turn against her. Have you ever considered for just one second?"
Edie didnât expect this gay man could say such manly words for her. She didnât expect that he could be this so nice to her. All of a sudden, she felt quite warm at the bottom of the heart. As one of many actresses in Dannyâs group, she was neither the most popular nor the most beautiful one. She never expected that he could treat her so kindly.
"Of course we are supposed to think about the profit of the company. It is impossible for us to sacrifice the profit just for a small star."
"Then I should tell you that all except Catherine Delta in Star Entertainment are just small stars. You can go kiss her ass, but would she be bothered to throw an eye at you?"
Catherine Delta was the most famous actress of Star Entertainment, receiving the best treatment from the company. Indeed, an actress like Edie couldnât be compared with her. As the atmosphere got tense in the office, Erica Yang stood out, "All right, stop now. We all donât want such kind of things to happen in our company. This is not the first time. Before, they didnât have this obvious evidence. Apparently, they kind of want to screw us. "
Her words sounded entirely fair. Twitching his mouth, Danny stopped arguing. "Now. What could we do? The news has gone crazy online. We should do something to control it."
"Danny, you have seen the popularity of this so-called scandal. We lost the opportunity to delete those posts. We couldnât do that; otherwise, that might cause netizensâ anger."
"All right then. Tell me what to do. I would try my best to cooperate with you." Erica said, in a mild and roundabout way, "Before there was something similar happening in this industry. The actress Michelle Bush was cursed to "Get out of the circle." At that time, she almost wanted to kill herself. But later, after taking a rest for half a year, nobody remembered her anything. Now, she does better in the circle."
Hearing this, Edie got her meaning. She didnât have to come out and say, but she definitely got her point across. She knew that the company would choose to let her go.
Edie expected this result. After all, she was just a small actress in the company. It was impossible for the company to spend any resources on her.
Director Dante followed her immediately, "Danny, itâs not that we donât want to help you. But there is really nothing we could do." Hearing this, Danny started to tremble with anger, "All right, all right. I got it. You are really kind to me. You never can help my people. You are so awesome."
Pulling Dannyâs collar, director Dante said to Danny in a low voice, "Danny, you have many actresses in your group. You donât have to spend so much on an infamous actress. Besides, she is not popular. Losing her wouldnât cause much damage to you."
Though he said in a low voice, Edie heard each one of his words clearly. Pushing director Dante away harshly, Danny stood up, shouting, "Get out of here, you have said enough. Now disappear out of my sight."
Seeing Dannyâs reaction, Edie also felt sorry for him, "Danny, I ..." Wearing delicate makeup, he looked exhausted. But he cheered himself up soon, telling Edie, "Donât worry about it, Edie. You have been in my group for about three years. I wonât give up on you. I will handle this, and everything will be okay, you will see."
Biting her lower lips, Edie said with guilt, "Danny, I am sorry that I have I made so much trouble for you." Though Danny was the best agent in Star Entertainment, he was not the only one agent here. As the company wanted to give up on her, he chose not to. He was fighting against the whole company.
Staring at Edieâs facial expression, he knocked on her forehead, "What are you thinking about? I donât help with anything. I still expect you to earn more money for me. We are capitalist. We never spend resources on anything. Promise me you will work harder?"
Being teased by Danny, Edie burst into laughter, nodding, "Danny, I will never forget what you have done for me."
"But," Danny got serious, "After a second thought, I feel that something is wrong here. When the crew gave you an audition, I thought it was because they were unsatisfied with Zoe Anna. I didnât expect that Zoe Anna had been in those pictures. It was after the contract signing that they asked you for an audition. I believed that there must be something wrong here."
Edie forgot about this, as Danny mentioned it, she recalled something, "Yes. Zoe kept saying that I stole her role as if I really took the initiative to mess her things up."
"I will ask for help from my friends in the media. I will try to control those messages on the internet. We shouldnât allow the situation to get any worse. You check the reason why the crew changed the actress so suddenly. We will figure this out, no matter what happens."
Edie replied, "All right. I will check it out later."
"Are you feeling better? Zoe Anna is such a bitch. She is also a woman. How could she do such a dirty thing?"
"Yes, I am feeling better."
As she said these words out loud, she realized she had spoken these words multiple times, especially to Stuart Yates. Thinking for a while, she realized that only those who cared about her were worried about her. Did she overreact with him today?
Seeing Edie sitting there thinking blankly, Danny assumed that she was thinking about something. Waving his hands in her face, he asked, "Edie, what are you thinking about?"
Hesitating for a while, she asked, "Danny, if I got gay angry, how could I make an apology to make him happy again?"
