Chapter 818
Lindsey poured her heart out to the empty room, letting out what she’d been holding in for too long.
“Mom, starting a business is seriously tough.
I’m so worn out.
I just wish I could snuggle up in your arms for a bit.
Just having a Little time would bring me so much peace and relaxation.
Please, wake up soon…”
The room went silent for a while, and then there was this quiet click at the door.
Lindsey glanced up and spotted Leonel standing there again, his eyes all soft and focused on Juanita.
After leaving the ward for a bit, Leonel had cooled down quite a bit.
Now, both siblings just sat quietly beside their mom, enjoying a moment of peace.
“Hey, do you know if Xiomara Vance has been free lately?” Leonel just suddenly asked Lindsey, giving her a quick glance.
Caught off guard, Lindsey looked up at him, saying, “Why do you ask? Do you need her for any personal matters?”
Leonel shook his head.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“I’m about to launch this new medication for obesity I’ve developed, and I’m thinking of asking her to endorse it.
”
Lindsey was confused.
Leonel could easily hire a bigger celebrity, someone with more popularity or a larger fan base.
Why was he thinking about Xiomara? Yeah, Xiomara had her brief moment of high fame recently, but it kind of seemed like a passing trend compared to the famous stars.
Moreover, with all the negative rumors swirling around Xiomara and her fake relationship scandal online, didn’t Leonel know anything about them? Lindsey pondered silently.
Leonel sensed what was on Lindsey’s mind and took the lead to clarify, “I believe Xiomara being the first to benefit from this drug and succeeding sets a strong precedent.
Having her as a promotional ambassador, sharing her personal experience, would surely convince others.
”
After giving it some thought, Lindsey found herself in agreement.
Xiomara wasn’t just well-regarded; she fit the criteria perfectly, making her an ideal choice.
Under normal circumstances, Lindsey would have been very thrilled about such an opportunity for Xiomara, but recent controversies made her wary.
The drug’s launch was sure to grab headlines nationwide.
With Xiomara and the Lindnita Artists Agency already under scrutiny, and Xiomara being a fresh face, they risked drawing negative attention and criticism.
Jealousy from others was inevitable, as was criticism from the ever- opinionated online crowd.
Despite the partnership seeming nearly perfect, putting Xiomara, a newcomer, at the forefront could incite jealousy from the fanbases of more established celebrities, possibly turning them against her.
Unaware of Lindsey’s concerns, Leonel interpreted her pause as a reluctance to cooperate.
He asked sarcastically, “What’s the problem, Linds? Has the company become too proud, to the point where not even your own brother can secure an artist from it?”
This remark annoyed Lindsey, who had no intention of saying no from the start.
She couldn’t understand why he always chose to communicate with such sarcasm.
Yet, given the situation, Lindsey realized saying no could Lead to misunderstandings and potentially harm their relationship.
So, she answered with some hesitation, “I can consider it, but I need to discuss it with Xiomara herself.
She’s under my management, but the decision isn’t mine alone to make.
”
This time, Leonel didn’t press the issue, a response Lindsey found quite unusual.
Upon visiting her mother, Lindsey made her way back to the office.
Right when she stepped out of her car at the entrance, she found herself swamped by a crowd of reporters, who formed a tight circle around her.
She noticed that the main entrance was blocked too, complicating entry for anyone.
The reporters, having waited for Lindsey, swarmed her immediately.
The drama surrounding Sumner and Xiomara’s fake relationship had blown up online, disrupting the company’s daily operations.
These reporters were eager to hear the truth straight from Lindsey.
“Miss Lindsey Stewart, rumors are swirling that Sumner Lawson and Xiomara Vance’s supposed relationship is just a marketing strategy devised by your agency for them.
Some argue they’ve been forced into maintaining this facade.
Which perspective do you think is closer to the truth?”
