Her Mind Is Full of Juicy Gossip
Mirabelle truly didn't want to make a decision about Maverick so quickly. Previously, as long as Hendrick didn't let her go, she could continue to play both sides. However, seeing how Hendrick was acting so magnanimously, should the matter reach Maverick, she would be caught in a difficult situation. Therefore, her only option was to make concessions in order to gain advantages and avoid the topic. “Hendrick, please don't say this. Seeing you like this, I...” Mirabelle's words were cut short as she teared up, appearing to be in a painful struggle. Hendrick said, “Mirabelle, don't be sad. Whenever you need me in the future, I'll be there for you.” “Stop talking nonsense.” “What I'm telling you is the truth. Even if you're with Maverick, I'll always be there for you.” Hendrick's words were laden with implications. Upon hearing that, Mirabelle initially believed that she had completely won over Hendrick, turning him into an ungrudging, loyal man. I didn't know I was this impressive. This doesn't sound right. Could it be that after Mirabelle and Maverick really got back together, Hendrick could still be Mirabelle's rebound? Ridiculous! Isabella frowned. Inside the private room, Christopher watched Danielle and Maverick return one after the other, both of them in a cold war. All the while, he continued to eavesdrop on the gossip playing out in Isabella's mind. Just as he was listening in enthusiastically, he heard Isabella seem to have seen something disgusting and incessantly spit in her mind as if trying to cleanse it. Crazy Hendrick, you truly are impressive! You were really planning to support them while playing the role of Mirabelle's secret lover. As long as you continue to benefit Mirabelle, you know she won't let you go. Is this how desperate you are to be always close to your idol? Christopher silently expressed his disgust as if he had witnessed some crazy antics of an obsessed fan.Then, he glanced sympathetically at Maverick, who was engrossed in his phone. He's foolish and a sc*mbag, but... surely he didn't deserve this? Before long, the remaining three finally returned one after the other, bringing the awkward get-together to an end. A little while later, Christopher and Isabella witnessed the heartfelt exchange of glances between Maverick and Mirabelle at the entrance before the latter two each left in their car. Moments after that, the car that was supposed to pick up Christopher and Isabella arrived. Upon opening the door, the two discovered that Alexander was also there, having come specifically to pick them up. After stepping into the car, Isabella heard Alexander asking, “What happened again today?” The topic sparked Isabella's eagerness to share. Immediately, her eyes lit up as she began to chat away with Alexander. Alexander wore a faint smile, but he was attentively listening. Every once in a while, he would nod or furrow his brows in response. The only dissatisfaction Isabella had was that she couldn't reveal the more explosive information he obtained from the Gossip System. Hayden, with a twitch at the corner of his mouth, remarked, “So, you weren't gone for so long because of a stomach upset but because you were hiding and eavesdropping on gossip.” Not only that, the gossip is shockingly explosive. I may be a seasoned entertainment industry agent, but even I can't help but marvel at this layered gossip. Isabella chuckled softly. Hayden remarked, “In this case, I can try to win Danielle over now.” “Huh? Hayden, you're into Danielle? Are you really planning to pursue her?” Isabella asked in astonishment. Hayden was instantly taken aback. “What nonsense are you talking about? I'm talking about poaching her and having her join our agency so she can guide you in the future.”It was then that Isabella realized they had actually considered snatching Danielle. After some thought, Isabella suddenly broke into a smile. In the past, Danielle took such great care of Maverick that he didn't need to lift a finger like a doting mother. In that case, if she becomes my agent, won't I be able to be a carefree artist? Alexander and Christopher were speechless hearing her thoughts. Although they hadn't poached Danielle yet, just the thought of letting an ambitious agent lead such an artist made them feel strangely guilty. Hayden had already begun to consider the possibilities. Conveniently, two men who had absolute authority over the matter were present, so Hayden didn't hesitate to ask them directly. Christopher had no objections to the idea, while Alexander, on the other hand, bowed his head in deep thought for a moment. “Mr. Alexander, are you worried about something?” Hayden asked, “Are you concerned Danielle is too emotionally attached and unwilling to break the contract with Maverick?” Isabella said, “That won't happen.” Alexander nodded, saying, “Danielle is intelligent and ambitious. She has shown nothing but extreme benevolence and magnanimity toward Maverick. Additionally, it's clear that Maverick will face troubles in the future. She won't stay in this predicament and will surely dissolve their partnership as soon as possible. The only uncertainty is whether she can do so unscathed.” Christopher said, “As for the bet, should we successfully convince her to join us, we can help her cover the losses first.” Alexander shook his head. “Money is not an issue.” At that point, Isabella was curious, “Then what could the problem be?” Alexander looked over, his dark eyes seemingly able to see through everything. “You just mentioned that Hendrick promised to reunite Maverick and Mirabelle, assuring them there will be no online backlash about that. What do you think could be done about it?”The three of them blinked, all looking utterly baffled. “An incident capable of stirring fan's emotions must have a scapegoat to bear everyone's ill will. It's not going to be Hendrick, who had his girlfriend stolen; it won't be Maverick, who took someone else's girlfriend; and it certainly won't be Mirabelle, who was caught in the middle of these two men. So, who else could be the most plausible and reasonable culprit, especially when certain past facts could support it?” After Alexander finished speaking, silence lingered in the car for a long time. It took a while for Isabella to process the information. “No... Surely not. Even if Maverick isn't the best person, he won't stoop so low as to repay kindness with enmity. If he hadn't cooperated...” “Kindness? Didn't Mirabelle already take it?” Christopher furrowed his brow. Alexander said, “Of course, this is merely a possibility. If we're to sign Danielle on, this factor must be taken into account.” Hayden cleared his throat. “I believe we can put the matter of poaching Danielle on hold for now.” From the perspective of a manager, Hayden wouldn't want to poach an agent who was riddled with scandal. If things were to unfold as Alexander had predicted, then Danielle would have no choice but to leave the entertainment industry. However, Hayden was oblivious that the artists under his management were not the ones to stay in line. Isabella tightly gripped the phone in her hand, smiling devilishly. “Don't worry. If it really comes to that, I have a way to deal with them.” Christopher suddenly spoke up. “About the script... I've decided I want to switch to a different one.” Isabella was stunned. “What does that mean? I just memorized those lines.” With a raised eyebrow and a smile, Christopher reassured, “Don't worry, just go with the flow. You'll enjoy the performance.”Isabella thought, Is he telling the truth? Taylor and Riley were panicking because Team A-list had switched to a confidential script once again. The last time they kept it secret was the time before, and then Team Young Again was no more. They figured that there shouldn't be any conflicts between Team Duo Alpha and Team A-list and that the situation they were worried about probably wouldn't occur. Taylor and Riley, hand in hand, encouraged each other as they finally welcomed the live broadcast of the third episode. Before going live, everyone backstage was exchanging greetings. Isabella managed to break away from the intense rehearsals and was finally able to enjoy gossip. Usually, Danielle would have certainly rushed over to inquire about the confidential script for her artist, just to be on the safe side. However, at that moment, Danielle simply handled the tasks an agent should do without spending any extra effort. Danielle is acting like an employee about to resign, unwilling to exert any more effort than was absolutely necessary for her salary. However, beneath her cold exterior, she was warm-hearted. Even now, she's concerned about Maverick's fans, thought Isabella. Then, she heard Danielle and Maverick arguing with each other. The atmosphere between the two had been tense lately, so that moment further prompted the bustling staff around them to quiet down and eavesdrop on them.
