Skylar’s eyes darkened as she tightened her grip on the man’s throat.
The man on the floor started coughing harder, hurriedly trying to explain, “Ms. Lambert, I’m one of the company’s newly signed artists I’m not ba guy.”
Skylar questioned, “Can you prove you’re one of our newly signed artists?”
“I–I can call my agent,” the man stammered.
Still skeptical, Skylar loosened her hold slightly and stood up, looking down at him from above. “Go ahead. Make the call.”
The man on the ground scrambled to sit up, fumbling for his phone to call his agent. “Dominic, it’s me,” he gasped.
“Where the hell did you run off to, kid? Ms. Lambert is about to return–if I don’t see you before she gets back, you’re toast!” the person on the other end said.
Skylar snatched the phone from his hand. “He’s with me. Bring the other artist over, too.”
Skylar hung up and tossed the phone back. Then she demanded, “Why were you hiding in my office?”
The man said, “I… Ms. Lambert, I’m one of the newly signed artists. Making it big in this industry isn’t exactly easy.”
With that, he stood up and slowly approached Skylar, unbuttoning his shirt as he spoke in an ingratiating tone, “Ms. Lambert, I’m hoping you’ll take me under your wing. If you say yes, I’ll do whatever you want. Anything.”
‘He’s throwing himself at me for a backdoor deal?‘ Skylar thought to herself, ‘The contract clearly states that they’re not required to do such things. Did he even bother to read it?‘
Skylar voiced her thoughts. “Even without this, the company would spare no effort to secure opportunities for you.”
Skylar turned her face away. “And put your clothes back on,” she commanded coldly.
Jamar Mercer flashed a bold grin, making no attempt to hide his ambition and desire. “But Ms. Lambert, that’s still not enough. I want to reach the
pinnacle of the entertainment industry.”
Skylar gave a faint, mocking chuckle. “If you want that spot, earn it. Don’t rely on these underhanded tactics.”
Jamar’s expression changed drastically, a flash of anger in his eyes. “Ms. Lambert, you…”
Skylar’s face remained cold. “If that’s your mindset, then I don’t think you’re a good fit for this company.”
Skylar’s company was renowned for offering the most fair and favorable terms to its artists in the entire entertainment industry. Jamar knew that if he lost this opportunity, it would be incredibly hard to find another deal this good.
Jamar knew full well what was at stake. He hastily threw his clothes back on, and he softened his tone immediately.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Lambert. I wasn’t thinking straight. Please give me another chance,” he said.
Skylar remained silent.
A wave of panic swept over Jamar.
‘Am I really about to have my contract terminated on my very first day? If word gets out, how am I supposed to survive in the industry?‘ he thought.
Jamar bowed his head and pleaded, voice low and desperate. “Please, Ms. Lambert, don’t terminate my contract. I know I was wrong. I swear I won’t ever do it again.
