Gianna walked into the room with a gloomy face. Her hands held on tightly to her documents while the other held a handkerchief. she wiped occasionally the tears that fell from her eyes. Luckily, there was no one in the room yet so she could get some time to compose herself.
After the call had ended, she received another one from her agent asking her to come over immediately for a meeting.
She hastily went there not caring how she looked.
Chang Zi had on a disgusted face when he saw her. This was not unusual and Gianna was already used to it. The contempt in his eyes shone even more when he saw her tear-stricken face. He did not even speak as though speaking was such a chore.
Chang Zi held out some well-organized papers and threw them directly to her face. One paper rim cut her on the face but he did not care and continued with an equally disgusted tone, "We have decided to terminate your contract and all your projects will be given to someone else..."
Gianna was in disbelief. She knew she was not better but at least she tried. Her acting had been praised multiple times by the fans. She held on to her cut face while fresh tears spilt from her eyes, "Why?.."
"Why?" Chang Zi scoffed, "It is because you are talentless and you are only wasting our resources for nothing. Two-Star entertainment does not want you anymore so you better run away from here. Don't worry about the contract...you don't have to pay anything, just pick up your things and leave!"
Gianna sobbed silently. She was too shocked for words. What sort of luck did she have today?
She grabbed the pen and signed her name shakily. Teardrops fell on the paper and some of it was mixed with blood from where the paper had cut her.
Once she was done, she headed out. The rest of the artists under Two Star entertainment looked at her; some with pity while others with expressions that read, 'good riddance!'
Gianna walked down the steps. Her head ached from all the crying. Looking back she realized that she had nowhere or no one to go to.
She made several steps to get out of this place that did not want her. She had been signed under Two Star when she was just eighteen years old. Back then Chang Zi had fawned over her and tried his best to ensure that she signed the contract.
Throughout the two years that she had been an actress there, she had already appeared in two films but only as a supporting character. She had not even gotten her big break yet and they already cast her away.
Her heart hardened. She looked up and saw that from the far corner, a familiar face was looming closer and closer to her, it was Sarah Ru.
Her heels clinked as she sashayed her way to her. The dress she wore was a limited edition and covering her eyes was the newest eyewear collection by the famous designer Y.
Sarah smiled when she was in front of her, "Hello sister..."
Gianna felt her blood boiling. She moved aside and started walking away just so she could not talk to Sarah. Before taking a single step, Sarah spoke again...
"How does it feel to lose everything, dear sister?"
Gianna did not speak, Sarah continued.
"Today, I have taken everything away from you while you are left with nothing...how does it feel?"
Gianna turned around and looked her straight in the face, "Won?" She chuckled
"What exactly have you won? Someone's husband? Someone's career? Explain to me dear sister...what exactly have you won?"
Sarah's eyes became as sharp as icicles, "No matter how strong you pretend to be, I still have taken everything from you. Just you wait and see, I won't stop until you have lost everything!"
Gianna scoffed, "I am waiting to see little sister...I am waiting to see..."
She then turned around and left.
