Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 499

An actress who is only in the D-list celebrity.

How could she have the audacity?

Winnie laughed. "I heard she didn't just come alone—she brought her manager and assistants too. It turns out she didn't have a real agency. It was just a family-run operation. It makes sense why she's been around for so long and still isn't well-known!"

Tracy scoffed, "Is the company going bankrupt? They're hiring anyone who walks through the door."

The assistant added, "But now that Evelina has joined the company, Ms. Tracy, you're the second senior at Apex."

Tracy remained silent.

She shot her a hard look. "Is being the second senior supposed to be a compliment?"

The assistant backed away. "I'm sorry, Ms. Tracy."

Tracy responded, "I can't stay in Violeta's shadow forever!"

Winnie fiddled with her nails. "Actually, it makes sense why the company signed Evelina."

Tracy asked, "Why's that?"

Winnie grinned.

"Evelina has that fresh and pure look, and the company used to promote Lydia Coleman, who had a similar image. Even though Lydia isn't as famous now, there are hardly any actresses with that type of image left in the entertainment industry.

"If they handle Evelina properly, she could turn into the next Lydia Coleman—actually, she could be the new leading innocent-look actress for this generation."

Moreover, from the company's point of view, there's something even more crucial to think about.

They need to bring in fresh talent.

Violeta and Tracy both signed five-year contracts with the company.

At the end of this year, the company will be renegotiating their contracts.

They have to be ready to let go of their old actresses at any moment.

So bringing in new talent is one strategy, and there could be resource cuts later on.

With that in mind, Winnie looked at Tracy and asked, "Tracy, your contract is up for renewal early next year. Are you thinking about extending it?"

Tracy paused, and other thoughts seemed to cross her mind.

After considering her choices, she nodded and said, "Winnie, how could I leave the company? I'm not ready to leave a big company and start my own team just yet."
