?Chapter 785:
Reporters, cameras, and microphones in hand, hovered behind him.
What was happening?
The man introduced himself as Leonard Juarez from Starlight Entertainment, greeting her with a bright, enthusiastic smile. “Miss Wall, I’ve heard so much about you!”
Leonard extended his hand warmly, but Briley remained still.
Unfazed, Leonard smoothly withdrew his hand, his eyes lingering on her face.
“Miss Wall, your beauty and elegance are truly extraordinary! Moreover, your act of saving your cousin-inw was nothing short of heroic! We, Starlight Entertainment, recognize immense potential in you. We would be thrilled to sign you and help you make your name in the entertainment industry.”
Instantly, the reporters pivoted their cameras toward Briley, their shes firing relentlessly. It felt as though she was under an interrogationmp.
Briley’s heart sank. Who was she? She was a distinguished member of the Wall family! And now, they expected her to be an entertainer? How demeaning! Yet, as she surveyed the scene before her, it was clear that Starlight Entertainment hade thoroughly prepared.
If she rejected them outright, what kind of headlines would follow? By tomorrow, the media might be stered with titles like “Briley Wall’s Cowardly Retreat from Contract Sparks Doubts Over Her Heroic Act?” The reputation she had painstakingly built could be tarnished.
Beneath the nket, her fingers clenched into a fist, but she kept a poised smile on her face.
“Mr. Juarez, you are too kind. I merely did what was necessary. As for entering the entertainment industry…” She paused deliberately, allowing a trace of hesitation to surface.
Leonard, ever astute, quickly interjected, “Miss Wall, you deserve all the acim! Your poprity is skyrocketing! You’ve already amassed a significant online fan base, all of whom are eagerly awaiting your debut. If you sign with us, we promise unparalleled resources to nurture your talent. You are destined to be our brightest new star.”
A sudden realization dawned on Briley. She now had fans, people who admired and supported her. If she entered the industry and garnered a strong following, could she leverage that influence to shape public opinion? Perhaps even influence the decisions of the Wall Group? Once this thought took root, it lingered persistently.
Bing an entertainer suddenly didn’t seem so objectionable.
The uncertainty in Briley’s face gradually faded, reced by a strategic, gentle smile.
“I appreciate your confidence in me, Mr. Juarez. Given the excitement surrounding my debut, I’m willing to give it a try.”
A spark of satisfaction lit up Leonard’s eyes as he pped his hands.
“Outstanding! Miss Wall, your decisiveness ismendable!”
He quickly fetched a prepared contract from his assistant and presented it to Briley.
