Chapter 889 Warning
Natalie grinned. "I'm super excited to be the face of U&M and thrilled to meet Ms. Henderson. Here's to a great partnership ahead!"
Rebecca gave Natalie a warm hug. They were about the same height, and Rebecca was rocking a suit from the Starlight series too—a black suit with a tie-dye starlight tulle skirt. She looked both fierce and classy, totally a boss lady.
Even though Rebecca wasn't as tall as Natalie, and Natalie was in sky-high heels, Rebecca's vibe was strong. Natalie, with her cool, elegant beauty, and Rebecca, the two of them holding champagne for a photo, quickly blew up on social media.
A $2 billion box office newbie beauty paired with Rebecca, the head honcho of a luxury brand that's been around for a decade.
The photo was a perfect split between the two of them.
This spokesperson announcement was a huge hit.
Even the recent drama with Alice and Sandra at the dinner couldn't steal the spotlight from this big news.
U&M posted on Facebook, officially announcing Natalie as the spokesperson with a picture.
Fans and netizens went wild.
[Natalie's vibe totally matches U&M.]
[She's perfect for this brand.]
Some even commented: [Wasn't it supposed to be Wendy? The ads were shot, and the pics were there, so why is it Natalie now? But honestly, Natalie fits way better than Wendy.]
[They said it was fake. How could Wendy be the spokesperson? It's clear Wendy's age and vibe don't match the brand, while Natalie fits perfectly. If I were Rebecca, I'd pick Natalie too.]
After all, Natalie was the new box office sensation.
And Wendy's projects had flopped.
Some of Wendy's fans argued, saying Wendy had won many awards. But that was in the past.
Everyone had to move on.
Failing one or two projects was understandable, but if they kept failing, no matter how high the status, there was no ability to back it up.
Wendy knew this all too well.
She watched Natalie, surrounded by people, shining like a star. The sight of Natalie stung Wendy's eyes.
'That should've been me. All the attention tonight should've been mine, not Natalie's. So what if she's the new dark horse? My achievements and awards are still beyond her reach! I don't want to argue with a newbie! But I need to give Natalie a wake-up call! Even if Heather is the VP of Dynamic Entertainment, so what? I've been with Dynamic Entertainment for ten years and have shares in the company. When I first joined, the company was just starting out,' Wendy brooded on.
"Mira," she said to her agent. "From now on, I need to review every script that comes in, even if it's a web series or a small movie."
Mira knew that because the script selection team missed "The Nameless Road," Wendy lost such a great role, which instantly made Natalie famous. Wendy was definitely unhappy about being overshadowed. "Ms. Lewis, there are too many scripts coming in. If you review each one, it'll be too exhausting."
Wendy insisted, and Mira had to nod.
Mira knew this blow was too much for Wendy.
Natalie, a little newcomer, had actually made Wendy a bit scared.
