Seeing this, Keira quickly stepped forward to steady Carolina, her brow furrowed as she looked at Jeanette. There was a subtle reproach in her gentle voice.
"Jeanette, you've been working for the company for a couple of years now. Carolina has always been fair to you. But now you're deliberately getting on her nerves. Isn't that a bit too much?"
Her voice was soft, but it carried through.
The fans, who had been kept at bay by the bodyguards, grew quiet, with all eyes on them.
Jeanette gave a cold laugh and shook her head.
She saw through Keira’s pretense and was increasingly disgusted with her behavior.
She was always easy-going about matters outside of music and didn't bother to scrutinize people's character.
She believed that people can't always be up to no good, and if they did something bad, it must've been their last resort.
She never got involved in the backstage gossip among the artists in her company.
But she never anticipated that reality was much more complicated than she had thought.
There were plenty of bad guys in the world without a proper reason.
Their mindset was just rotten.
Yet Jeanette looked back at her with arrogance and disdain.
"If memory serves, I already thanked you guys. If you think that's not enough...feel free to have whatever you want tonight, put it on my tab, and consider it my appreciation for not letting me starve all these years!"
Keira, holding back her anger, spoke with a just tone.
"Don't you think you're overreacting? I was just kindly reminding you that you're in the public eye now. You can't be too harsh, you need to leave yourself an out."
"Ms. Keira, I'll return the favor. After all, you've always been in the public eye, and lately, your reputation is on fire!"
