Teresa was particularly frustrated.

She and Madisyn had started at the company at the same time, yet Madisyn had outshone her, leaving Teresa feeling insignificant.

A flicker of bitterness crossed her face as she stepped out to make a phone call.

“Yes, that’s right.

Madisyn is very focused on Evie, even planning to enter her in a singing competition.

You know, Evie has a background in music, so if she becomes successful, it’s going to reflect poorly on you as her previous agent.

People might start questioning why you didn’t do a better job before.

After delivering her message, Teresa returned to the office with a satisfied smirk.

She shot a cold glance at Madisyn before casually applying her lipstick, feeling a sense of twisted pleasure.

Perhaps, Madisyn didn’t know that being too impressive could be a curse.

After all, it was always the tallest poppy that got cut first.

Later, as Madisyn left the office, she was unexpectedly confronted by someone- Evie’s former agent, Larson Welch.

His face was flushed with anger.

He had been deliberately holding Evie back, trying to keep her under his control.

But now, someone else had swooped in, offering her opportunities and threatening his dominance.

This was a direct challenge to his authority!

“Madisyn, right? I’ve got a bone to pick with you,” Larson said, his tone laced with arrogance, showing no respect.

“Go ahead,” Madisyn replied, her voice steady and her expression calm, which only seemed to unsettle Larson further.

“Who gave you the right to start replaceing opportunities for Evie? Did you even think to get my approval first?” he demanded, his frustration barely contained.

“Didn’t you tell everyone that Evie wasn’t interested in those opportunities? Naturally, I spoke with her, and once she was on board, I did what was necessary.

And as for your capabilities, Mr.

Welch, shouldn’t the higher-ups be made aware?” Madisyn met his gaze without flinching.

Feeling cornered by Madisyn’s steady gaze, Larson snapped in frustration, “I’ve got my own strategy, I’m her agent, and from now on, any opportunities you replace for her need to go through me first.

“Understood, Madisyn responded, her tone calm.

“I’m planning to enter her in a singing competition.

What do you think about that?”

“Absolutely not!” Larson shot back without hesitation.

“Her singing is mediocre at best.

Entering her in a competition would only tarnish the company’s reputation.

“Even if she doesn’t win, the experience and exposure would be valuable.

Besides, she doesn’t have any more pressing engagements right now, does she?” Madisyn replied evenly.

“Drop it.

Stay out of this.

I’ve got her future mapped out,” Larson insisted, intent on keeping Madisyn away from Evie’s career decisions.

“Unfortunately, as the person responsible for seeking opportunities for the artists, I have to ensure what’s best for her,” Madisyn responded, her resolve unshaken.

Larson’s frustration bubbled over.

“Madisyn, do you have to challenge me?”

“I’m focused on what’s best for the artists,” Madisyn said, holding her ground.

Larson was livid.

As the company’s top agent, he was used to receiving respect from everyone, but Madisyn-this newcomer—was blatantly defying him.

Her attitude was really starting to get under his skin.

“Fine,” Larson snapped, his voice dripping with anger.

“But remember this-if she makes a fool of herself in that competition, that’s on you!” With that, Larson stormed off, silently plotting his next move.
