Chapter 215
Sheena had been feeling troubled for the past few days, and Rosalie had just added fuel to the fire by getting herself into trouble.
Not long after, Rosalie was dragged out of the set crying.
As the room finally quieted, Sheena sat by Phoebe’s sickbed, diligently peeling an apple for
her.
Watching her intently, Phoebe smiled and said, “It’s been many years since we last met, and you’ve changed a lot! You were so cool just now. I’m really impressed.”
“You can be like this too.”
Phoebe’s gaze dimmed. “No, I’m different. I’m not like all the other trainees here. They either have powerful companies or wealthy family backgrounds, but I only have myself.” Sheena put down the apple and held Phoebe’s hand, comforting her, “You managed to stand out among a hundred trainees, step by step, reaching the finals. Don’t you think you’re amazing?”
“But I’m only in fifteenth place. I can’t debut. Rosalie told me major companies have already reserved the debut spots through bribery. I don’t stand a chance.”
Sheena chuckled.
This was her company and her program. She had specifically informed her team not to accept bribes for reserved spots.
Phoebe was also good–looking. Although not a typical stunning type at first glance, she had a charm that grew on you. She was a cute and innocent girl. With this appearance and talent, Phoebe could have a long–lasting career in the entertainment industry.
Whether for personal or company interests, Sheena was determined to support Phoebe.
“Don’t worry. No one can bribe their way to debut in my program. As long as you work hard, you’ll have a chance. And even if you don’t debut this time, I’ll make sure you sign a contract with Angle Group and become an A–list artist.”
Tears glistened in Phoebe’s eyes. In disbelief, she bit her lip to stop the tears from falling. Sheena gently patted her head. “This time, go all out toward your goal.”
Phoebe was moved and embraced Sheena tightly. “Thank you, Sheena. Even though you haven’t told me who you are, I know you’re an incredible girl.”
“If any trainees bully you again, stand up to them! The more you show weakness, the more. they’ll take advantage of it. Only when you stand up will they fear you. Don’t be afraid. I’ve got your back from now on!”
Holding her close, Phoebe was fueled with determination.
When Sheena left, Phoebe was cornered in the restroom by Ellie and two of her lackeys that same evening as she got out of the medical room. Ellie had returned to the set upon learning
2/2
about Rosalie’s sudden disqualification. She intended to confront Phoebe and make sure she would not dare to complain again.
As it was Thanksgiving, no cameras were filming on the set, especially in places like the restroom, where surveillance was impossible.
Phoebe was forced into a corner, shivering in fear. Suddenly, Sheena’s words from earlier echoed in her mind. She gritted her teeth, grabbed a dirty mop from the corner, and taunted the three.
“Ellie, let me make it clear. I used to let you have your way, but from now on, don’t you dare touch me again!”
“Sure! Let’s play a game and see if you can handle three people alone!”
The four girls quieldy engaged in a brawl, and screams echoed in the restroom as chaos unfolded.
Sheena found out about the incident the next morning.
Ellie, battered and bruised, threatened to sue Phoebe for assault.
Wendy, standing nearby, commented, “They had the numbers yet still lost against Phoebe alone. Not only that, but they’re also the first to cry foul.”
Sheena also thought it was ridiculous and laughed. “Handle this matter for me. Whether Ellie gets a lawyer or tries anything else, we’ll face it head–on, supporting Phoebe all the way.”
“No problem, Ms. Sheena!”
While Sheena was busy with work for the past few days, someone else was not idle.
Sheena had not returned to Ocean Avenue for three consecutive days. Elijah, for some reason, felt uneasy, with images of Sheena and Howard being alone together flashing in his mind whenever he closed his eyes.
