Claire had just returned from shooting an advertisement when she received a call from Phoebe.

Like an obedient daughter listening to her mother, she rushed over to help.

Upon seeing her, Phoebe almost burst into tears.

Claire quickly hugged her, “It’s okay, Phoebe; I’m here now.”

“You should go quickly. We’ll talk after you’re done shooting.” Phoebe sniffled and pushed her towards the makeup room.

The makeup artists were all waiting for her, so there was no time for small talk. Claire was quickly ushered into the makeup room.

While Claire was getting her makeup and styling done, Phoebe sent Claire’s assistant to buy coffee and snacks for the staff while she went to apologize to the photographer.

Mr. Leo was sitting behind the camera, looking at the photos they had just taken. He was in his early thirties and had his hair tied back, exuding a strong artistic vibe.

After hearing Phoebe’s explanation, Mr. Leo said, “I just heard from Liam; your artists have too much of an attitude. That’s not good. I don’t mind, but if word gets out, people in the industry will know that the artists from QUEEN Entertainment are hard to deal with. They might think twice before working with you again.”

Phoebe was well aware of the impact this could have on QUEEN Entertainment. It wasn’t just Vanessa’s career at stake, but all of the artists at QUEEN Entertainment.

“I understand; the company is responsible for the actions of all its artists. I apologize for my lack of consideration and for affecting everyone’s mood,” Phoebe politely and professionally apologized.

Mr. Leo looked at her.

She was only in her early twenties, but she handled the situation with maturity and poise. Even with an artist causing such a big problem, she didn’t lose her cool. It was no wonder she was a director at such a young age.

“I’ve seen all sorts of artists in this line of work, but I’ve never seen one who acts like a diva before they’ve even made it big. I don’t think her career will last long.”

Phoebe let out a small laugh but quickly pressed her lips together. No matter what others said about Vanessa, she couldn’t agree with them, lest they make a joke out of it.

Luckily, Claire finished her styling and changed her clothes. Mr. Leo stopped chatting with her and got to work.

Phoebe stood behind the monitor, watching Claire in the camera. She performed well and didn’t show any signs of stage fright. What was supposed to be a three-hour shoot was completed in just two hours. When Claire went to remove her makeup and change her clothes, Phoebe apologized for the delay and offered to treat everyone to a meal.

Mr. Leo waved his hand and declined.

Despite Phoebe’s insistence, Mr. Leo was firm in his decision. In the end, she had to give up. When they left the Riverside Building, John was waiting outside with the car.

The three of them got in, with Phoebe and Claire in the back and the assistant in the passenger seat. The car pulled out and slowly merged into traffic. “John, take Claire home first.”

“Understood.”

Phoebe felt a cool sensation on her temples, which seemed to alleviate her discomfort. She thanked Claire, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes to rest.

Claire was scrolling through Facebook on her phone. While she was getting her makeup done earlier, she had heard about what happened before she arrived. She knew how troubled Phoebe felt right now.
