“Bianca, nice surprise seeing you here. Who would’ve thought you’d start your own company? Seems like everyone’s trying their hand at entertainment these days,” Natalie smirked, her tone teasing.
Unbothered, Bianca replied with a smile, “Well, it seems like the entertainment industry isn’t as exclusive as we thought. Even someone with your acting skills managed to bag the Best Actress award three times. My company’s launch doesn’t seem so impressive in comparison.”
With a nonchalant attitude, Bianca delivered a sharp comeback that left Natalie irritated. Natalie’s eyes glared from behind her sunglasses.
“Bianca, despite your remarks, I still hold the title of Best Actress. But whether your company will last, only time will tell!”
“Your point is duly noted. I’ll keep that in mind,” Bianca said with a smile that seemed unaffected by any sting.
Natalie grew even more irritated by Bianca’s apparent arrogance. Then she saw Dave, whom she deeply cared for, coming up behind Bianca.
“Bianca, are you okay?” Dave asked softly, placing his arm around Bianca’s shoulders.
His authoritative presence, emphasized by a sharp suit that radiated elegance, warmly softened as he turned to Bianca, captivating Natalie with his irresistible charm.
“Nothing. I just bumped into Miss King by chance and had a brief chat. She’s hosting a fan meeting nearby,” Bianca explained, tilting her head and smiling warmly at Dave.
Their eyes locked in a silent understanding, which only intensified Natalie’s frustration.
Biting her lip, Natalie gripped the silky fabric of her dress, feeling jealousy surge through her. How could Dave be interested in Bianca and not even spare her a glance?
It fueled Natalie’s competitive spirit even more, igniting her determination to win Dave’s heart completely.
Natalie closed the car window firmly, signaling to her driver. With a nod, the driver drove off, heading towards the nearby square.
Ashley gave a contemptuous snort at Bianca before leaving.
When Dave heard Bianca mention Natalie’s upcoming fan meeting, a shadow passed over his expression. He suspected it was an attempt to overshadow Bianca’s popularity.
Dave let out a cold, humorless chuckle. There was no way he would let his partner fail. It was impossible.
At ten in the morning, both Bianca’s company’s opening ceremony and Natalie’s fan meeting began simultaneously.
Despite Natalie’s popularity hitting rock bottom after the last audition, she still had a large fan base. Moreover, Zoey taking all the blame helped Natalie maintain an innocent image, garnering her considerable sympathy.
Despite her audition not matching Sophia’s extraordinary performance, Natalie managed to maintain a strong level of popularity.
Her first fan meeting was a huge success. Fans from across the country gathered eagerly, filling the square to capacity in no time.
Natalie’s team strategically ensured she trended at the top, securing her the desired number one spot.
“Natalie King’s historic debut fan meeting, broadcast live nationwide.”
The live stream quickly gained massive popularity, instantly drawing a large audience.
In the midst of all this excitement, Bianca stayed calm and focused, finishing up her last-minute preparations.
Representatives from Twitter had arrived at Bianca’s company and quickly set up cameras near the entrance.
The event staff stood ready beside the red carpet, patiently waiting for the guests to arrive.
People passing by couldn’t help but notice and comment on the scene.
“What kind of company is this? Doesn’t seem to be getting much attention.”
“Looks like there’s a celebrity nearby. Let’s go see!”
“I heard it’s the actress Natalie King!”
“Wow! I’ve always wanted to see her in real life! Let’s go quickly!”
Compared to the lively atmosphere around Natalie, the area outside Bianca’s company seemed quieter. People were drawn to the vibrant energy of Natalie’s event.
Ashley noticed the calm scene outside Bianca’s company and smiled smugly. Crossing her arms and lifting her chin proudly, she eagerly awaited any possible embarrassment for Bianca.
At that moment, Twitter sent out a notification to all users with the following message:
“Bianca Scott, a former executive agent at Phoenix Entertainment, who guided her client to triumph in auditions, has launched a new talent agency, bringing fresh energy to the entertainment industry. Twitter will be live streaming and reporting on the grand opening ceremony.”
As the live stream focused on Bianca, who helped Sophia win over Zoey, many online users tuned in and joined the broadcast.
Comments started pouring in rapidly.
“Why does Bianca’s company look so empty despite the opening?”
“Natalie’s fan meeting nearby probably explains why Bianca’s not drawing a crowd.”
“Natalie’s fame is definitely overshadowing her.”
“Why did Bianca choose to open her own company today? Maybe she doesn’t have enough experience yet.”
Suddenly, a glossy, luxurious car appeared in the livestream. As the doors opened, a man and a woman stepped out, stunning everyone watching.
The live stream’s comment section exploded with excitement, filling the screen instantly.
“Sophia and Nicolas together! This is amazing!”
“They’re perfect for each other! I ship them so much!”
Sophia’s appearance was highly anticipated, but her arrival with Nicolas was like a burst of fireworks. The livestream’s popularity soared instantly, competing even with Natalie’s viewership!
Sophia looked stunning in a champagne-colored silk gown, radiating grace. Her smooth arms were visible in the sleeveless dress, and the plunging neckline hinted at elegance. A high slit showcased shiny black high heels, giving off an air of power.
She exuded an irresistible sensuality and allure today, a huge difference from her usual pure elegance. This transformation set social media on fire, capturing everyone’s attention.
“Is that really Sophia?” The crowd around Natalie quickly turned their heads towards Bianca’s direction.
“She looks stunning! I’ve never seen her in such a captivating outfit. I have to get a picture for my social media!”
Nicolas, with Sophia by his side, wore an all-white suit. But what caught everyone’s eye was the deep V-neck revealing his well-built chest without an undershirt.
Their mix of playfulness, seriousness, and magnetic chemistry left fans feeling exhilarated.
“Isn’t that Nicolas Foster, the top actor? He looks really good. Who knew he had such a physique!”
“Seeing the best actor dressed like this is a special treat. What a day!”
Suddenly, a voice exclaimed, “It’s Bianca’s company’s opening day. They’re the special guests!”
The crowd gathered around Natalie’s fan meeting quickly scattered, rushing towards Bianca’s area, wanting to catch a glimpse.
“Sophia! Nicolas! This way!” The crowd cheered loudly.
Like the biggest stars at a film festival, Sophia and Nicolas smiled and waved at the crowd. Their charisma was so captivating that everyone, regardless of age or gender, was drawn to them.
Twitter buzzed with their names, trending just below Natalie’s carefully planned trends, holding the second spot.
