Thus, even before Melody's movie was released, she became popular. The boost was both unexpected and expected to her.
In contrast, Shaun was not surprised at all. From the first time he saw Melody's audition, it was clear that she was an outstanding talent destined for fame. It was just a matter of time.
It was also good for them since the film gained popularity even before its release, saving a considerable amount of money on promotion.
While some rejoiced, others worried.
Stella could not have imagined that she would be the one inadvertently pushing Melody into the spotlight
She sat in front of her dressing table expressionlessly and swept everything on the table to the floor.
Her assistant, standing nearby, kept her head down, afraid to speak.
"How high is her current level of popularity?" Her tone betrayed a barely contained irritability.
"She's...still the most trending topic," the assistant replied timidly, unable to understand why Stella would want to torture with the question.
In the end, all of Stella's frustration was taken out on her assistant.
"Ugh! Why does that b*tch Melody get all the popularity? Who does she think she is? D*mn it!"
Not satisfied with the shattered fragments on the floor, she stood up and threw the chair to the wall, leaving deep scratches all over it.
"Calm down, Miss Stella. You still have a scene to shoot later! We'll be in deep sh*t if someone captures and posts a video online of you throwing things around!"
The assistant did not want to enrage Stella further, but as Stella's assistant, if any negative news surfaced, the manager would not dare to confront Stella but would definitely hold him accountable. 'Sigh! It's always lowly assistants like me who end up getting reprimanded,' thought the assistant.
"What are you afraid of? No one in the production team would dare to spread negative gossip about me unless they want their careers derailed!" Slal*th the FindNøvel.Det website on Gøøgle to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Stella turned with a glare. "Or do you think someone else can go over my head? Melody's rise in popularity is also your fault. You bunch of useless good-for- nothings are not worthy to work for me! You all haven't made a single move to curb her popularity! What's the point of keeping you around if you're not going to do anything?"
She vented her frustration at the assistant, not even noticing when the manager walked in.
"Enough! Stella, stop throwing tantrums! Isn't it embarrassing enough? People outside are waiting to cover your news. Don't you want to act anymore? I've said it before: stop putting so much effort into that Melody. Why not focus on improving your own acting skills if you have so much time on your hand?"
Stella's manager, Alvin Londe, was frustrated.
Stella had started her career under his guidance, and she became quite successful, being the most significant celebrity in his portfolio.
However, Stella had been obsessed with Melody ever since she debuted. Instead of focusing on her own projects, she devoted most of her attention to Shaun's film crew.
"Your own film crew has been secretly gossiping about you, Stella. Don't you know that you should take care of them before you take care of others?" Alvin looked displeased. "Also, what's going on with the scenes you've shot recently? Didn't you memorize your lines at all?"

Stella was not in the state of mind to listen to the advice of others. She thought everyone was out to get her.
"You're truly insane..." Alvin was at a loss for what to do with her.

It was pointless of him to say anything else since Stella was obviously looking down on the entertainment industry.
Melody felt somewhat uneasy when she saw the overwhelming praise flooding the comments section of her personal account.
