Watching Mr. Sutton’s car disappear, Rebecca leaned over to Mark. “Get two guys to act like his enemies. Sneak up on him late one night and teach him a lesson.”

Mark gaped at her, speechless.

Mark said seriously, “Boss, you’ve changed.”

Rebecca glanced up. “Changed how?”

“Back in the day, you’d just throw down if somebody ticked you off,” Mark commented, tracing her recent shift. “Now you’ve learned how to lay low.”

“I’m not in Jelasburg much,” Rebecca said, handling things much smoother than before. “If I go head–to–head with him and then bounce, what’s to stop him from coming after Karen once I’m gone?”

That was exactly why she’d kept her cool earlier.

Mr. Sutton might not mess with me because of who’s backing me, but Karen was basically left to fend for herself here.

Rebecca paused, ‘Wait a minute.‘

“Isn’t Karen seeing Stephen Hanson?‘


Thanks,” Karen said, her gratitude genuine.

“It’s nothing, just lending a hand,” Rebecca replied easily, then got straight to the point. “So, how’d you end up on Mr. Sutton’s radar?”

“My agent set up a dinner, telling me there was a supporting female role in a TV drama looking for the right actress. She thought I should cozy up to the producer and investors,” Karen said honestly, since Rebecca had really come through for her. “Didn’t expect things to blow up like this.”

The unspoken rules are pretty common in the entertainment world.

But most of the time, if things didn’t work out, people just moved on. It was rare for anyone to actually get aggressive or physical about it.

“Wait, are you… Rebecca paused, trying to recall. “An actress?”

“Yeah, Karen nodded, her mood noticeably brighter. “But honestly, nothing I’ve done has ever actually had my name in the credits.”

So far, all my screen time’s been as an extra with zero lines, and sometimes you couldn’t even see my face on
