Chapter 1161 Not a Pushover After All
‘There’s nothing for me to say. Let’s just say I wasted all my years of admiration on a piece of trash.’ Still, the comments online were not the worst of it.
After the incident went viral, Leah received a call from her manager that dealt her the heaviest blow.
“As this has turned into a major scandal, many organizers have canceled the performances you were supposed to give and have asked to terminate their contracts with you. As for the acting roles I got for you, along with the commercial shoots and brand ambassadorship, the other parties have all decided against working with you because of this.”
Thus, Leah was ruined even without the Sawyer Group having to do anything. She couldn’t accept this at all.
“How could they do that? Didn’t we sign contracts with them? It’s a breach of contract!” Leah shrieked. Her manager showed no reaction.
It was clear that she was used to Leah’s temper.
She waited for Leah to regain her composure before continuing, “It’s not a breach of contract on their end. You’re the one who went against the terms of the contract first. I told you to rein in your temper when you’re out in public, but you refused to listen to me. Well, you tried to bulldoze over the wrong person this time.”
The companies weren’t run by fools. No one wanted to offend the Sawyer Group. Although the Sawyer Group didn’t do anything about the incident that night, everyone knew what would happen if they continued working with Leah.
Those in the industry were fully aware of this, and so were the media.
Therefore, over the next few days, no one expressed interest in working with Leah. The Internet was plastered with articles and comments that criticized and ridiculed her.
Leah was unwilling to let her career be destroyed just like that, so she got in touch with her manager.
Perhaps she was too used to behaving haughtily as the tone with which she addressed her manager was far from pleasant. “You’re my manager! Don’t you have any ideas of how you can salvage the situation? Don’t forget that your career hinges on mine too!”
“You only remember that I’m your manager when something bad has happened, huh?”
Leah’s manager sneered and retorted, “It’s true that I’m your manager, but it doesn’t mean I’m omnipotent. Also, I’ve already submitted a transfer request to the company. From now on, I’m no longer your manager.”
She turned around and walked off.
Leah was shaking with fury, but she was also filled with regret.
She regretted assuming that Tessa was a pushover.
After her numerous requests of getting help from her manager failed, she finally understood just how painful the consequences were for her actions that night.
However, she still refused to give up.
In the end, with no other options left, she decided to head to Sawyer Group and look for Nicholas.
She figured that since everyone was blacklisting her because they were wary of the Sawyer Group, then everything would blow over if Nicholas announced that he was letting her off the hook.
Thus, in the morning, Leah dolled herself up before putting on a pair of sunglasses and walking over to the reception desk at Sawyer Group.
The receptionist recognized Leah at once, and though she was filled with disdain, she was still able to remain professional and asked, “Hello. Whom do you wish to see?”
“I’m here to talk to your president.”
Leah took off her sunglasses and smiled faintly at the receptionist.
However, her wiles didn’t work on the receptionist, who returned a professional smile and asked, “Do you have an appointment?”
Leah paused for a moment before replying, “No.”
“I’m afraid President Sawyer won’t see anyone without an appointment.”
After saying that, the receptionist proceeded to ignore Leah.
Leah had no choice but to walk away.
Still, she didn’t leave. She went to wait in her car outside instead.
Since she wasn’t allowed to meet Nicholas, she was going to wait here until he came out.
Luck was on her side.
While she didn’t see Nicholas, she did see Kieran who was on his way out.
“Master Kieran!”
Leah jumped out of the car and ran after Kieran.
Kieran frowned at once when he saw Leah. “What are you doing here?”
“Master Kieran, all of my work has been canceled, including my performances and commercials too. I know I made a mistake. I already apologized to Miss Reinhart that day. Please help me talk to President Sawyer and ask him to stop holding it against me.”
