Chapter 21

Thinking about it, Sonia felt that she had done that woman a favour by removing her from the drama. If she had stayed, Joanna would definitely find eats to bully her even if the woman did nothing to her. This woman standing in front of her Joanna Anderson, is definitely that mean! If the newbie did not know how to deal with Joanna and she fights back, then her career would have been over! She was doing her a favour by taking her out of the drama. She should not be near someone like Joanna Anderson if she did not have the experience to deal with her.
"What? Joanna Anderson I've always known about the kind of woman that you are but I never expected that you would be so shameless! What? I took away a newbie's chance to become popular? You and I know that she would never have been popular if she has to do her first big drama working with a person like you! You are definitely going to find ways to bully that woman and make things difficult for her! Let's be sincere here. You and I know that I was doing that actress a favour by taking the drama from her!" Sonia said. She was starting to lose her temper with Joanna. How dare she try to lecture her? After the things that she had done?
Joanna looked around to make sure that there was no one around to listen to thier conversation. When she saw that there was no one besides herself,Lena Sonia and Jenna, she leaned closer to Jenna. "And just what do you think that you are doing right now? Do you think that by taking on a role of a second lead you can take me down? Do you think that you will be able to take revenge for what happened to you five years ago? Let me tell you Sonia Hailey, you have never been a match for me and you will never be a match for me. You won't be able to do anything to me. Just like this drama, you will always be second to me!" Joanna said.
Sonia fought back the urge to slap her across her face. What? She will always be second to her? She only got to number one using tricks! If she did not have so many tricks that she was playing, Sonia was sure that the woman won't even be popular right now! Who does she think that she is talking to like that? She really wanted to teach her a lesson. Does she think that she can get anything just because she wants it? Sonia felt someone place thier hand on her back. It was Jenna and she was reminding her to calm herself down.
When Jenna saw that Sonia was about to lose her temper, she immediately placed her hand on her back. She was telling her not to say anything, that she was going to take it from there. This was the reason she did not want her Sonia to get involved with this woman. She could not control herself in front of her. Jenna decided to do the talking from then on. "You really think that you have everything don't you Joanna? Well let me tell you something after five years have passed people are definitely beginning to know about the things that you have done! It's not just the both of us, people definitely know, you can't hide it forever!" Jenna said. She knew that Joanna's greatest fear was having people know what she had done! That was why she tried so hard to cover up! But no matter how good she is, she definitely won't be able to hide who she really is forever. She and Sonia are here to make sure that the world knows how Joanna Anderson whom they love and adore so much really is.
Joanna was shocked. She did not expect that this woman was going to say something like this! Such a really talented woman should be working for her! She would be doing really great things while working for her. Why does she have to keep working for this idiot Sonia? Joanna knew that she could not convince Jenna to work for her instead. She found out five years ago that the woman was extremely loyal. She would do everything to protect the woman that she worked for.
Joanna knew that Jenna said that on purpose. The thing that she was most afraid of was people finding out about who she really is. She was afraid that the reputation of a pure white lotus that she spent so much effort on to build would be ruined! But either way, she definitely was not going to lose to Sonia and her assistant! "I see. Tell me something Sonia how can it be that after five years have passed you haven't changed? There isn't a single thing that you can do by yourself. You keep getting your assistant to do things for you!" Joanna said. She knew that this was going to get to them.
Jenna's heart skipped a beat when she heard Joanna say this. The woman is truly mean. Back then when that happened and Sonia's career was on the verge of collapse, she was the one who kept running around trying to save her at first. Sonia almost gave up. But Jenna was not complaining though. Because Sonia saw her running around so much, she was filled with a determination to get her career back on track. She really worked hard and the both of them were able to get here because of that.
Now this woman was bringing it up to make fun of the both of them. It was something that she caused after all! Well since she wants to play the bitch in front of them, the both of them can definitely play that game! "Really? You do realize that it's all because of what you did back then right? If people know that about the things that you did then just to get a role in a drama, would they still love you? Don't think that you will be able to hide the things that you have done forever Joanna. It won't be possible at all!" Jenna told her.
Joanna saw that she could not argue with Jenna. The woman is far more smarter than this foolish Sonia! Besides, she was already feeling terrible enough. She did not want to do anything that was going to make her even more angry. If she continued talking with this Jenna she might just lose her temper and she would be the one at a disadvantage then. She decided to go back to talking to Sonia. She had better stay away from her. If she wants to stay in the drama as a second lead, good and fine. Once she gets married she would leave the circle anyway. But until then, Sonia had better stay out of her way.
"I really don't know what is is that you are planning but I hope that you can stay far far away from me Sonia. You are really persistent and despite what happened that year you are still doing quite well. I'll give that to you. Do you really not value your career as it is now? Are you ready to give it all up because you want to get your revenge on me? Let me tell you something Sonia your career will get ruined and nothing will happen to me! Don't even think about messing around with me anymore!" Joanna said.
Because she had seen the way that Jenna had handled Joanna, Sonia was much more calmer now. She was starting to learn how to control her emotions more and more. Back then one of the reasons why she and Jenna lost so badly to Joanna was because she did not know how to control what she was feeling. She decided that to beat Joanna at her own game she would have to become more and more like her. She had to learn how to control her emotions.
And besides, she could already see that for some reason, Joanna was not her usual self. She was trying to hide it but she could see that she was trying to deal with something. She could definitely use that against her. "Joanna, you really think that after five years have passed you have become invincible right? Well the things that you have done, you definitely won't be able to hide those things forever! They are going to come to light and people are going to know just what kind of a person you are. You really need to start thinking about what you will do then" Sonia said. Then she and Jenna walked away.
Joanna watched as Sonia and Jenna walked away. This is so annoying! She already had enough that she was dealing with already! Why does she have to deal with this annoying woman? She thought that it would have been fine since she already made it clear that she was much more better than her. Even though Sonia started acting way before her, she had already trampled all over her before she was was way better than her in the industry. Even at that, she has been doing really well lately. Can't she be satisfied with that and just leave her alone? Why does she keep bothering her like this?
She turned to look at Lena. This woman is completely useless. There is nothing that she can do to help her. She could not see that Sonia and that Jenna was planning something. She she could not say anything to defend her just now! She really is completely useless! Jenna had stood up for Sonia just now without thinking twice about it but there is nothing that Lena can do for her. The worst part was that she could not even fire her! She had to put up with this woman for now.
She knew that people were already talking about how she keeps changing her assistants. For this year alone, Lena is the third person working for her. People in the industry were starting to say that she had a really terrible temper and that is why she could not keep the workers working for her. That was very far from the innocent and kind image that she tried so hard to create for herself. If she fired Lena like this and for another secretary, it would only confirm the rumours. People won't think well of her anymore and it won't be good for her. She did not want that to happen.
Even at that, Joanna could not stop herself from being angry with Lena. Why is that she is not good at anything? Jenna can help Sonia to put up an argument but she could not even open her mouth. As someone who works for her how can she not say anything in front of those women? "How stupid are you really Lena? Is there nothing that you can do right? You can't help me when those women were here just now! You can't even put up an argument for me! What do you think that you are doing? Why do you work for me!" Joanna asked. She was so angry.
Lena felt as if this woman that she was working for was really losing her mind. She worked as her assistant and she was always with her and so she knew what Joanna was really like. She was always pretending to be a good woman in front of other people. Armed with her beautiful face and sweet smile, she could charm anyone into thinking that she is a good woman. But Lena knew very well, just what the woman is like. She really is a terrible woman who has no good virtues in her at all! Judging from the wat she had treated her, Lena did not need anyone to tell her that Joanna isn't a good person. The entertainment industry was filled with all kinds of people but Joanna definitely is one of the worst!
