A Night with Her Cruel Mate

"Julia, you're finally back." When Julia arrived home, she ran into Consuela, who was just about to leave. She wrapped her arms around Julia and asked, "Where have you been? Do you know how worried I was?"

"I'm fine. Don't worry, I'm home now." Julia knew that she was worried about her. But Consuela had been so busy handling the scandal that she had no time to take care of her. She frowned and asked, "How will the agency deal with the scandal?"

Consuela gave her friend a sad smile. "They will be punishing you for it. They decided to shut you out from the industry for the time being."

"What?" Julia's face paled at what Consuela had just revealed.

For an artist, time was money. Her youth was life itself.

News didn't only spread fast in the showbiz industry, but opportunities as well. If she was shut out from the industry for a while, then she would be easily replaceable by a younger artist.

Consuela sighed and continued, "But don't worry too much. I'm still working on it. As you know, the most important thing for a celebrity is your reputation. Although this horrible incident will affect you, everyone in H City now knows your name."

"Consuela, don't make fun of me!" Julia scoffed with a bitter smile. "I'd rather not have such a horrendous reputation."

"I'm not kidding." Consuela arched an eye brow at her. "If we use this to our advantage, you may even be able to become more popular.

Stay at home and rest. I'll be busy for the next few days, but I'll help you overcome this difficulty."

"Okay." Julia nodded obediently and watched as Consuela left. She didn't have a choice but to stay at home.
