“Hmph! You still have no idea of the severity of the situation,” Jessie said confidently with a smug face.
Her boot-licking assistants echoed along in an attempt to please her. “You deserve it for offending the Princess of Nottom.”
“Yeah, what’s so great about being a mere composer? You can’t be more powerful than the President of Nottom Entertainment himself!”
“I think she doesn’t have any talent at all and people falsely praised her to be a guru!”
“Exactly, her looks and figure is nothing compared to Miss Hunter!”
Her assistants’ efforts in shaming Janet made Jessie even more conceited and she sniggered. “It’s never too late to kneel down and beg me for forgiveness! Or else I can’t save you when the director arrives.”
Then, Walter and Gordon walked out from the males makeup room and frowned in unison as they looked at Jessie’s assistants. “That’s enough; since when did it become appropriate for assistants to insult composers?”
Seeing the two were trying to stand up for her, Janet pulled them to the side and said calmly, “Ignore her; she’s not that powerful.”
Overhearing her words, Jessie chortled. “What sort of bullsh*t composer are you? My father is Ewan Hunter, the President of Nottom Entertainment, and he doesn’t even need to lift his finger against a powerless composer like you.”
Just as she finished speaking, her assistant pointed at the director who was walking over from behind her. “Jessie, the director is coming!”
Jessie’s eyes lit up and she pointed a finger at Janet. “Director, are you here today to announce that you’re firing this bullsh*t composer?” she asked furiously. A trace of delight could be seen on her face, as though she could envision Janet being fired by the director the very next second.
To her surprise, he merely gestured with his hand to disperse everyone and sent the crew away without a single reprimanding word for Janet. “Go back to work, the lot of you. There’s nothing to see here.”
All the crew and Jessie were dumbstruck because the director didn’t even tell Janet off. Also, didn’t Jessie already mention that her father had told the director to fire Sweet Tune Guru?
“Director!” Jessie shouted, so enraged that she looked like she could have bitten him. This bullsh*t director actually has the nerves to go against my father’s orders? “Didn’t you hear what I said earlier? This Guru was talking back to me!”
Frowning, the director advised gently, “Jessie, I know everything that happened and already fired two crew members. Let this matter rest.” He was hoping to get a huge commission after filming the music video of Sweet Tune Guru’s song ‘Heaven on Earth’. The commission would be at least tens of millions and he was not about to let this opportunity slip through his fingers.
While Jessie was trying to find the words to counter, the other crew members were stifling their giggles as they saw that she was embarrassed again. Finally, Jessie blew her top and pointed at the director and Janet, declaring, “Director, if you don’t fire this bullsh*t composer today, I refuse to be in this music video as the female lead!”
The onlookers rubbed their arms when they saw that Jessie was being her usual bratty self and turned to look at the director, thinking that he wouldn’t side with Sweet Tune Guru this time.
After all, Jessie was the female lead hand-picked by the President of Nottom Entertainment; offending her was akin to offending one of the big players in the entertainment industry. Even Jessie knew this, which was why she had the nerves to throw her temper around like this.
However, to everyone’s amazement, the director turned and asked, “Gordon, Walter, Guru, can we shoot the first half of the music video again?”
Caught in complete bewilderment, Jessie thought in disbelief, Is he serious?
Knitting his brows slightly, Gordon asked, “Who will replace the female lead then?”
Walter raised his brows and gestured at Janet, his eyes soft. “Don’t we already have someone here?”
Everyone’s attention fell on Sweet Tune Guru, who had a good figure and a pretty face.
“You… Have you lost your mind?” Jessie cried, looking at the director and Walter in shock. “I am the female lead for the music video!”
