Chapter 539 Please Have Some Manners
"Same goes to you."
Eliza patted Corrine's shoulder and smiled faintly.
Corrine was so angry that her face turned green.
Before she could say anything harsh, Eliza had already pulled Roseane's hand and walked to the lounge.
Graciana and Xander followed closely behind. No one took Corrine seriously.
Corrine was so close to losing her temper.
"Go and help me find out who the judges are today."
Corrine directed her assistant to inquire about it, while she took her agent to the seat next to her and sat down.
She was sitting in the most conspicuous place in the lounge, and her clothes were so shiny. Almost everyone who came in would be dazzled by her style.
Her agent was a little helpless and whispered, "Mr. Jones doesn't like over-the-top makeup. Corrine, why don't you change your dress..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was glared at by Corrine.
"Just because he didn't like it before, it doesn't mean that he doesn't like it now."
"No one is as famous as me. Isn't it natural for me to be high-profile?"
"Besides, do you know how much effort I spent in order to get this set of haute couture? If I change it, my hard work before would be in vain."
Her agent was immediately rendered speechless by Corrine's words.
Because of Eliza and Roseane, Corrine's mood had been affected. She became impatient after sitting for a while.
"Why didn't Alyssa come back after such a long time? Did something happen?"
"Why don't you go and have a look?"
Her agent hesitated. "But..."
"Salma, you should know that I'm the one who's paying your salary now."
Salma, Corrine's agent, felt a little stifled when she heard Corrine's threatening words.
If it had been in the past, Corrine would not have spoken to her in such a rude tone.
Since when did Corrine become more and more disobedient and out of control?
Salma stood up silently while thinking with a sullen face.
"I'll go take a look."
However, before walking further, a woman passed by Salma, who had just stood up, and knocked her to the side. The coffee cup in the woman's hand was knocked over.
"Ah—!"
"My dress!"
Corrine screamed and immediately got up to dodge, but it was still too late.
The fancy dress she had spent a lot of money and effort to borrow had been stained with coffee. The glitter on the front side had been splashed, looking dirty.
Corrine was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped the woman in front of her.
"Are you blind? My dress is soiled now. How are you going to compensate me?"
The woman who bumped into Salma covered her face, but she ignored the pain and went to apologize to Corrine on her knees.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Corrine. It's my fault. Should I... clean your dress for you?"
Corrine's dress was obviously very expensive, and she was just a newbie. She had no money to compensate, so she could only try her best to clean up Corrine's dress.
Corrine glanced at the woman in front of her.
The other party had a plain face, wearing the simplest T-shirt and jeans, with a pair of the most ordinary sneakers. Everything on her body did not cost more than 30 dollars.
It was more than enough to show how shabby she was seeing how she dressed up for the audition.
However, she had a pretty face. Corrine did not look as young and energetic as her.
Corrine felt both contempt and envy in her heart. At the same time, she wanted to suppress the newcomer.
"Clean up? Do you think this dress is the same as the T-shirt you're wearing? Do you know that it can't be washed?"
The newcomer's face was pale, and she knelt on the ground, not knowing what to do.
"I... I'm sorry. Then tell me, how much is this dress? I... I'll pay you back slowly in the future."
Salma couldn't stand such a pitiful look anymore.
She chimed in, "Corrine, let's forget it. I have to take half of the responsibility for this. If I hadn't suddenly stood up, she wouldn't have hit me like this."
"Forget it? I'm not as generous as you! Since you're so kind, why don't you pay half for her?"
Salma's face darkened.
She was a very famous agent in the circle. When she came in just now, there were many artists and agents who took the initiative to greet her. However, Corrine was trying to make things difficult for her now. How could she survive in this circle in the future?
Moreover, Corrine had been with her for several years and she had been serving Corrine whole-heartedly. It was really disrespectful that Corrine had fallen out with her because of a dress.
She felt embarrassed.
The atmosphere seemed to be frozen, and no one dared to speak.
Seeing that Salma was silent, Corrine sneered and asked, "Weren't you siding her just now? Now that you have to pay for it yourself, why don't you say anything?"
"Don't be so kind in the future. You are my agent, so you should stand on my side. Do you understand that?"
Corrine's attitude was too arrogant.
Eliza didn't want to interfere at first, but when she saw that Corrine was getting more and more excessive, she finally couldn't help but come out to speak.
"It's just a dress. Is it worth such a fuss?"
When Corrine heard Eliza's voice in the corner, her expression immediately changed.
"Eliza, what do you mean?"
"Aren't you a big star? You should earn at least tens of millions a year. It's just a dress. Why do you have to make a fuss like this?"
"This is a dress that I bought with money. Can't I teach my own agent a lesson? Eliza, are you being too nosy?"
"You can teach others a lesson as you like, but don't do it in public. Please have some manners, thank you."
Corrine was greatly offended by Eliza's words and immediately felt a little embarrassed.
Roseane pulled Eliza and looked coldly at Corrine.
"We had all been newcomers. Be kind to the newbie. How much did you spend on this dress? I'll ask my agent to compensate you."
As she spoke, she gave Graciana a look.
Graciana stood up, took out the cheque from her bag, and turned to look at Corrine.
"How much is it?"
Corrine felt humiliated and stomped her foot in anger.
"Stop pretending to be kind! I know what you're up to. I won't let you succeed!"
As she spoke, she got up and walked out.
Salma hesitated for a moment and followed her out.
The newcomer, who had been humiliated by Corrine, looked at Corrine's back in confusion. She then looked at Eliza before hesitatingly walking up to her.
"Thank you for your help just now. My name is Haya. I'll find a way to pay you back the money for the dress."
Eliza and Roseane looked at each other. Eliza shrugged her shoulders, while Roseane gave Haya a gentle smile.
"There's no need. We didn't actually pay."
