LOGINGina's POV I did not go to the office on Wednesday, instead I went straight to Karl's studio. We went over the contract the Lopez Group had sent. "This offer is quite good, it is almost the same price they would pay a top star," I said. Karl nodded in agreement, "But with this, you can't endorse any other products for the next half a year," he said. I nodded my head, but still felt that this offer was indeed too good. "They also want to know your real identity. With it, they promise to sign confidential documents. Only about four or five people in total from their side would be aware," Karl continued to explain, but I did not mind much. I had already made up my mind to step out of the mask, so it really no longer mattered how soon. After going through other minor details, we set out together with my assistant to the Lopez Group. I had my mask on when we arrived. The front desk was already notified, so we were led straight to the board room on the tenth floor. "Welcome," a man
Gina's POVI did not expect someone to post the argument with Mom online, neither did I think it would help me clear my name."I think this is the best opportunity to relive your identity as GG," Roland came over to visit that evening and made the suggestion."I know," when Mum noticed the trend, she had also said the same thing. The only problem was that I wanted to wait.Since Emily and Ethan were trying to investigate, I wanted them to make a move first. Actually, it is not that I am vengeful, I just know Emily. Besides if she makes a hug mistake now, Ethan would also be implicated."Then, should I ask Karl to organize a press meeting?" Roland asked."Not yet," I then explained my thoughts to Roland."Even if they are going to make a move against you, it would have to be after the movie premiere. After all, anything that affects you now can affect the movie outcome," Roland said. I felt he had a point.This movie was Emily's comeback and Ethan's work. Nothing can go wrong. "I say w
NarratorThe next day, news about the incident trended online, especially Grace's words about Emily slandering Gina.The hall the previous night had been filled with reporters and bloggers, so videos of the argument quickly spread across the internet.The discussion online became heated.People who did not know about GL before wanted to find out more about the brand and the mysterious makeup artist behind it.At the same time, the rumors from almost a year ago were dug up again."That is Mrs. Williams. If she says Gina is hardworking, then Emily has always been the thief.""True. She dared to steal GG's song because she mistook the handwriting and thought Gina was the writer since Gina was also in the office.""I have always said she was a thief."Back then, many people had doubted Gina because Emily had brought evidence of registration, but now that the same event had happened with GG, it raised a lot of doubts.But now, things were different.Mrs. Williams's words carried weight. Th
Roland's POVAfter sending the last message to Gina, I waited for her reply but did not get any. Dad was chatting with some business partners. I was looking at my phone every now and then, waiting for a reply from Gina.Some of Mum's friends came over, and she chatted with them for a bit. I was not listening, but then someone mentioned that GL was present."You mentioned the last time that you wanted to invite her for your birthday makeup but booked late. Maybe you can take the chance to ask her for an exception," someone said."Why bother? Everyone who asked her this evening was politely declined because of health issues," another replied."It depends on who is asking. I heard she did a home call for Mrs. Lopez today. She has refused that for ten years now," another said."Are you sure?" one of the ladies asked. I honestly could not understand why ladies were so particular about their looks. "Of course. I overheard Mrs. Peterson complaining bitterly about it. She said her sister-in-
Gina's POVAfter my performance, I returned to the waiting area, sat for a bit, and took pictures with Jane, who insisted.After that, I found an excuse to leave. I returned to the room and changed back into my outfit as Gina."You are not leaving yet?" Lisa asked me."No. You load Mum's things into the car and leave first," I instructed.I got out of the changing room and returned to my seat.When I arrived, only the elderly woman was sitting there.I picked up my phone and texted Mum.Where are you?"Your eyes look a lot like someone I know," the elderly woman said.I blinked. "Oh," I answered awkwardly. I did not understand what she meant by that statement.Mum once said my eyes looked so much like my grandma's. I was about five years old when she died. Honestly, I could barely remember her clearly.The woman kept looking at me. Her gaze felt like she was trying to see through me, and I was not sure how to react.I received a message from Mum saying she would be right back.Just as
NarratorGrace was looking at the person speaking on stage. Meanwhile, the nanny, Leah, was taking in her reaction. Could she really be the one? she thought.Although the last time she saw Ellen, she was twenty, the person before her—apart from looking older—looked a lot like the Ellen in her memory. At first, there was nothing in her reaction. She even drank water calmly, but her reaction at the mention of Liam's name, and even the way she looked at him on stage, was too strong to ignore.After thinking for a while, Leah decided to test her."CEO Liam had a tough childhood, losing his parents early. Now, seeing him standing tall, I can finally rest easy." Her voice was soft, her gaze fixed on the stage, but in reality, she was watching Grace for a reaction.Grace, hearing those words, took a deep breath. From this woman's statement, she confirmed that the person on stage was indeed her brother. But why did he not come looking for her? she wondered.She took another deep breath to cal
Gina’s POV The moment my mother’s breathing settled into a soft, steady rhythm, Roland nodded toward the door. I slipped out quietly, closing it behind me so the latch wouldn’t click. Mum had insisted I go home to sleep since I resumed work at Prime Entertainment. She said only when I rested prop
Gina’s POV Days passed quickly, and soon it was the sixth day, which meant I had less than twenty-four hours to deliver a solution to Miss Bloom’s scandal. In those past few days, I had done everything possible. I had two meetings with Miss Bloom. I spoke to her manager and assistant, hoping to f
Roland’s POV I don’t know why, but ever since I found out Gina had been in a secret relationship for three years, I found it very uncomfortable. Our relationship wasn’t real, and we barely had much contact, yet every time I was close to her, I felt drawn to her. I wanted to know more about her ex
Gina’s POV I stared at Rhea Bloom’s number for a long moment, my thumb hovering above the call button. This was Starlight’s lead vocalist—someone with millions of fans. Before the scandal, she had been the crown diva. Now her career was collapsing because of a single moment caught on video. J
