New employee?
The HR manager quickly grabbed James by the shoulder, "James, what's gotten into Mr. York to suddenly take an interest in our company's new hires? We've brought in a bunch this quarter. Should we round them up now?"
James chuckled, "No need."
Their boss wasn't that considerate to check on new staff. He was probably just being jealous or something.
James said promptly, "Let's put a pin in this meeting. It's a good chance for everyone to polish up any unfinished business. Trust me, you do not want to be on the Boss's bad side when he's ticked off." "Alright, we'll head back then."
With that, the meeting dispersed quickly, and James hurried after the others.
Kevin, trailing behind, caught up to James, "Where are you off to now?"
James shook his head, "The boss is on the warpath. Can't stop him, might as well join him on this kamikaze run."
James couldn't believe it. If Quintessa found out she'd been sold out, she'd go ballistic on the boss.
Kevin's eyes sparkled with mischief, "I'm coming too."
James hastily replied, "No way, man. Don't you go looking for trouble."
Leaving Kevin behind, James hurried to catch up.
After wrapping up a rain scene, Manny quickly handed Quintessa a dry towel, "Quinn, go change into something dry." Quintessa asked Director Cooper, "Director, was that take okay?"
Director Cooper nodded, "OK, it's a wrap. Go change and rest up in the makeup room. We'll resume in an hour."
Manny followed Quintessa to the makeup room.
After changing, Manny was blow-drying Quintessa's hair while she scrolled through her Twitter feed.
Her rumored fling with Snow had stirred up a media storm. The comments section under Quintessa's posts was already overflowing, half from Snow's fans, a quarter from neutral onlookers, and a handful from her own growing fanbase.
The majority were hate comments, but many couldn't help admiring the couple's looks, grudgingly acknowledging that they were the entertainment industry's top dream team.
Quintessa flipped through Snow's Twitter and noticed that he'd liked not one, but two tweets praising their match.
One could be an accident, but two? That was a statement.
Clearly, Snow was signaling to his Snowflakes: "Your idol is in love."
That set off a howl of despair among his fanbase, and their romance nearly broke Twitter's trending charts.
This buzz benefited Quintessa the most. Her works hadn't caught fire yet, but the scandal sure did, earning her a quick shot to fame, with her follower count skyrocketing by a hundred thousand in a day, and still climbing.
For a newcomer who was practically a nobody in this industry, it was like winning the lottery.
Quintessa wasn't exactly thrilled, but she wasn't upset either.
The rumors were useful for now, but in the future, there would always be some people who'd say she used Snow to climb the ladder.
Besides, Snow seemed to be playing for keeps, which irked Quintessa a bit.
Manny, feeling indignant, said, "This photo leak had to be from someone on set. I swear, if I find out who it is, I'm going to give them a piece of my mind."
Quintessa just smiled, "Let it be. This is part of the job. Look at the bright side; it's working out for me, isn't it?"
