Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Maya Monroe, Is He Really That Good-Looking?

"Tiff, Sister Tiff’s already gone back, she said she had something urgent..."

"Something urgent?" Kiki laughed in anger: "What could she possibly have? Besides scolding people, she just plays. What could be so urgent?!"

"Other artists’ agents are the first to protect their artists when something happens, but not her. She’s always coming up with bad ideas and making the artists find resources on their own! How unlucky am I to end up with such a crappy person!!"

After Kiki vented, looking at the blank and silent faces in front of her, she got even angrier: "Not talking? Huh? How come none of you are talking?! Do you all look down on me too?! Think I’m not as good as Maya?!"

The assistants kept their heads down, not daring to speak, afraid they might upset her.

"Do I pay you just to be props and decorations?! None of you are of any use!"

After shouting, she felt a bit better and sat back down in her chair.

An assistant, with trembling fingers, handed her a cup of water: "Sister Kiki, calm down."

After spending some time with her, they realized that Kiki was not as easygoing as the rumors said, quite the opposite, she had a terrible temper and was extremely jealous.

The previous admiration and praise for Kiki had long turned into fear.

Kiki glanced at the person, reached out to take the water, and then took out her phone to call Tiffany Lawson.

It took a long time for Tiffany Lawson to answer.

There was a lot of noise coming from the other side, lots of talking and laughing, along with the clear sound of clinking glasses.

Tiffany lowered her voice, sounding somewhat sneaky: "What’s up? It’s a bit chaotic here."

Then her voice drifted a little: "Why did you come over? What’s the point of crying? Have you forgotten what I told you? Go on, go on!"

Kiki was stunned for a second, then her eyes filled with deep disgust and disdain. How did she end up with such an agent?

Seeing Kiki not talking, Tiffany still thought carefully: "What’s up, Kiki?"

There were two reasons for Tiffany’s change in attitude towards Kiki; one was because her tone had hardened, and the other was because Kiki had been chosen by a brilliant director like Charles Wright, proving her capability.

If the last big production like "Wandering Beyond the Horizon" was considered lucky, this time there was another great opportunity, which just had to be called extraordinary potential!

Kiki paused: "I’ve thought about it for a long time, I want to turn down Charles Wright’s audition invitation, I want to audition for... ’Mirror’!"

"... What nonsense are you talking?! Do you know..." Tiffany’s voice grew excited, but it didn’t last long: "I’m really sorry, I was on a call and couldn’t control the volume for a moment, I’ll step out right away, sorry to disturb you, Mr. Ma..."

After a while, Tiffany’s voice came back again, free of background noise, much clearer now.

"Do you not know that the director Yvonne Hall really favors Maya for ’Mirror’? Why would you join in the fun, turning down Charles Wright’s audition invitation would only offend him!!"

Tiffany’s voice grew sharper and more out of control: "Are you crazy?! Why would you give up such a great opportunity from Charles Wright to audition for ’Mirror’?!"

"Isn’t ’Mirror’ more likely to win an award than Charles Wright’s ’Spring Flowers’?"

Tiffany took a deep breath on the other end: "That may be true, but you can’t reason things like that, have you considered what happens if you fail the audition? Not only will you not get the role, but you might also end up angering Charles Wright!"

"How do you know I won’t succeed? I’m so talented and hardworking, how can you assume I won’t get the role? Am I really worse than Maya? And, just being favored, there’s no set decision to choose Maya. If Yvonne Hall wants to win an award, she’ll definitely choose me to perform, because this is something talent and hard work can’t be replaced by mere talk!"

For the first time, Tiffany found Kiki’s confidence terrifying.

"I don’t agree! I can’t watch you take such a risk! Do you realize how risky this is?!"

"I’m just informing you; I’ve already made up my mind, you can’t stop me. So what if I miss the opportunity, Kiki is excellent, am I afraid there won’t be a role to play?! But if you don’t want to follow my lead... I’m afraid my performance might let Director Wright down."

Tiffany calmed down a lot: "What you want, I will fight for it now; I’ll ask you one last time, do you really want to give up the opportunity with Director Charles Wright?"

Kiki is not as easy to manipulate as before, now Tiffany has to be mindful of Kiki’s emotions. And... now Kiki indeed has a bit of ability.

"’Mirror,’ I must give it a try!"

"Don’t regret it later."

Kiki snorted lightly, sounding rather self-satisfied: "Never."

"I’ll make Maya realize how terrible the price is for bullying me!"

"I’ll make her lose horribly, then she’ll know the consequences of going against me!"

Today, with plenty of spare time, Maya naturally sat on the sofa binge-watching dramas.

Although she could watch dramas in the bedroom too, lying on the bed feels nice as well.

However, Maya still felt that watching dramas in the living room had the best vibe, especially with a lot of snacks here. She could just go downstairs to grab what she ran out of or ask Mrs. Wang to bring more.

After finishing an episode on the food channel, Maya spat out the sunflower seed husks in her mouth.

"It ended so fast? Feels like it just started playing..."

Maya flipped through a few channels, suddenly her hand paused.

The large TV screen was broadcasting the currently popular drama "Wandering Beyond the Horizon."

At this moment, it was the scene where Jackie and Luna’s relationship fell apart.

Against a traditional backdrop, the bamboo grove not far away added to the desolate feeling, with snowflakes drifting in the air, further enhancing the bleakness and chill of the breakup scene.

Maya’s gaze was fixed on the screen, looking at her face appearing on the big screen, it was truly a magical experience.

Back when she was working on this task, Maya never played the "celebrity" role, and ever since "Wandering Beyond the Horizon" aired for so long, Maya had long forgotten about it, at the time just focusing on getting away, not caring about its developments.

Now, looking at herself on the big screen, Maya felt a bit mixed.

Maya’s hand froze for a few seconds, then she grabbed another handful of seeds and continued munching.

She wasn’t in a hurry to change the channel, in fact, she started to find it somewhat interesting the more she watched.

"You’ve been staring at Leo for one minute and thirty-nine seconds..."

A cool voice abruptly appeared, and turning around, Maya saw Ian Rowe, who hadn’t even taken off his coat yet.

"Tell me, Maya, is he really that good-looking?"
