Chapter 199: No one can suppress you! Part 2
The grand opening gala soon ended with the last few guests trickling in and out of the venue.
Shen Mignani's beautiful eyes trembled as she looked up and saw that the Organicaa store outlet's lights were already out and the main door was locked.
"Runyan must have turned in for the night."
Now that she was finally alone, her previous cheerful and social facade disappeared and a blank look covered her face.
Even though she had promised Runyan to meet her in the hotel, she had no plans of going there.
"Miss Shen. Wait a minute." A man's loud voice called out to her as she walked out of the mall.
Mignani turned around and was slightly surprised. This man was the main event organizer. Why was he personally looking for her?
"Miss Shen. Here is your payment for attendance."
Her slightly surprised eyes returned to their previous lackluster state.
Of course, it is for processing payments, why else would someone look for an outdated actress like herself.
Shen Mignani chuckled wryly and accepted the money.
As she was about to turn and leave, another woman peeked out, hidden behind the main event organizer. "Oh, how the mighty have fallen!!!"
Manager Lang!
Mignani's phoenix-like eyes widened slightly. Faced with this woman's mocking sneer, she had nowhere to hide.
Recently she had not been able to land even a single acting job. Anything she tried for, no matter how small the job was, Evergreen studio was right there to block her move!
They even went as far as to officially block her in a very public and apparent manner. Why should they be afraid of a woman with no background and no future prospects like her?
"How did your endorsement gig go?" Manager Lang sneered in disdain as she looked at the tired and battered woman.
She specifically asked this question to poke at Mignani's unhealed wounds.
Recently, a famous brand had personally invited her over to London for a magazine photoshoot.
Mignani had been insanely elated at her big break that she had waited so long for, but unfortunately, things were not as simple as they had seemed.
Only when she went there, reality slowly dawned on her and she realized that these people had purposefully invited her just to humiliate her.
They made her wait patiently on the sidelines for an entire month and then some more, only to cruelly reject her in the end, without even a single image of her in the entire issue.
They didn't stop there. The director inappropriately approached her at the end and tried to coax her to secretively be his mistress.
Mignani had angrily slapped him on his face right then and there, but that only ended up giving her more problems and a bad name in the industry.
After being in the industry for so long, she still couldn't navigate the gritty part of it smoothly.
If one doesn't have a big studio or company backing them up, it really was very dangerous and almost impossible for a woman to remain pure in the entertainment industry.
Every single asshole looked at them as a piece of meat and wanted to bed the actresses and the models.
It was just as the saying goes, "A lone wolf is doomed to die quickly."
As a veteran actress Mignani also had her pride. She wanted to deal with things on her own and did not want to run to Su Lin or Runyan for every single problem she faced.
This was the main reason she still had not approached them or met with them yet. Knowing the ladies, she was sure that they would come to her rescue in no time.
That was not necessarily a bad thing. But... She didn't want to lose out these two good friends as well...
Their occasional company and affection were all she needed. Anything more just felt very inappropriate.
Mignani didn't want to get into an unnecessary argument with her ex-manager Lang. She was already tired and she didn't have any more mental space to listen to her toxic words.
She simply wanted to return to her hotel and collapse on her bed. And then it will be another new day and another new battle.
As Mignani turned around silently with a blank expression on her face, manager Lang brashly stepped forward and grabbed her by her hand.
"Where are you going slut?" Lang sneered.
"How about you come over and work in Mr. Ling's night club? Heh. Just because I recommended, he is even ready to offer you a higher pay than usual." freewebnøvel.coɱ
She grabbed Mignani's hand tightly and refused to let her go.
Lang had been patiently waiting for Mignani to come back to C country so that she could ruin her in person once and for all.
And now that she got this golden opportunity, there was no way that she was going to let her off so easily.
"Let me go." Mignani glared at the rude woman angrily. She looked as if she wanted to swallow her whole.
But her high and mighty attitude pissed Lang more and she winked at Mr. Ling who was standing near them and watching the show.
Mr. Ling immediately waved his hand and a few security guards rushed over. It was almost midnight so not many people were present in the vicinity as well.
"What are you looking at? Surely, you must know this day was coming? Don't worry too much, I won't harm you or anything. You are my friend after all."
Manger Lang chuckled as she slowly started walking away from there group.
"Those men will just play with you for a week and take some tasteful videos. He He. Who knows... Maybe this time, you will really make a comeback and your specials films will get famous all over the world?"
Lang's ominous voice faded into the distance as Mignani struggled to free herself.
Big hairy hands held her down, and her cries for help were drowned in their snickers.
