In the office, whenever Esmeralda went in hopes to stumble upon him, he never appeared before her. She knew that it was her fault for being in a secretive affair with her boss. Oliver was the boss of the entertainment company she was signed into.
Three years ago, they met at the after-party of the Gala. They were clearly attracted to each other. When he hinted that he wished for her to sign with his company because he wanted to be close to her all the time, like a lovesick fool she had accepted his offer. She was in love. It was for the first time she had willingly opened her heart to a man but she was proven wrong.
He wasn't the right man for her. He broke her in the worst way possible.
When she accepted his offer, her career had become stable at that time. She wasn't overly famous but she wasn't a struggling rookie either. As she signed up with the company, she signed ten big deals as soon as she entered. Her career reached its peak because of him. He chose the best agent and deals for her.
When she won her first national award, she was waiting for him to announce their relationship but he never did. She was of the view that it could be because of the peculiar situation they were in. He was the boss and she was the actress signed under the company.
She knew how bad the media could be. They were invasive, vicious and disgusting. They would twist the news and she would be badly slandered. It was a man's world. They wouldn't say bad words to Oliver but to her who was a vixen and lured an innocent man into her traps to climb the social ladder.
Her heart squeezed in her chest at the thought of seeing the man she loved marry another woman. For an entire month, Amber had kept her under her constant vigilance, her friend believed that she was going to do something stupid and impulsive. Amber wasn't wrong. She was going to do something just like this.
She was Esmeralda fox. She was not going to let anyone break her heart into tiny pieces and walk away without paying the price. She would make him regret the day he met her.
The last time when a director asked her to sleep with him for the role of the main female lead, she had crushed his nuts with a walnut opener.
She was not being metaphorical; she had literally crushed his nuts in the walnut opener as the old geezer director was obsessed with walnuts and that tool was always with him. He touched her at places he had no right to. She made sure that he would never touch the dry fruit and the tool without remembering her face.
Of course, she had faced repercussions for her little revenge and didn't get work for six months. Truth be told, it was worth it.
Another time, a co-actress added something in her makeup to snatch the role from her and she filmed the little bitch being a little spicy with the producer of the show in her camera and made her world-famous.
She should thank Esmeralda Fox for making her world-famous but the little bitch never expressed gratitude. Never mind, she had a big heart and forgave the little bitch.
These were just small instances and Amber knew that if she didn't keep Esmeralda under her constant vigilance, the latter was going to do something like this once again.
And Amber was not wrong either. Esmeralda was going to do something just like that.
Because she couldn't control herself anymore. One month was already too much for her.
"Mr Jenner is such a great man and only a great woman could match him, " The first makeup artist gushed. "Ah, it's good that he is not marrying any actresses signed under his company."
"Oh no, he is a man of integrity, " The second makeup artist said. "He will never fall for one such woman from the dirty circle."
"Miss Jennifer, here is the wet wipe. Wipe your hand with it, " Esmeralda smiled at the makeup artist.
"Mam?" The make-up artist looked at Esmeralda in bewilderment.
"You just touched someone from the dirty circle. Don't you know I'm carrying all the germs and viruses of the entertainment circle with me? What if I give you a disease?" Esmeralda said with another smile. "Anna, my assistant will take you to the hospital for a checkup and you need not come back again, after all, you may get any communicable disease from me."
The make-up artists shuddered as they glanced at the chilly look in her eyes. The villainess of the golden screen was no less than a villainess in real life.
