Chapter 504 A Green-Eyed Monster?

The agreement was irrevocable, and Austin was acutely aware that his continued presence would only serve to amplify his disgrace. He retrieved the discarded contract from the floor, his head bowed in defeat, and made his exit. In his wake, Mr. Montague was already engaged in a jubilant conversation with Rachel Dorie, lauding her victory with no consideration for Austin's lingering presence.

Upon stepping out of the office, Austin surveyed the bustling surroundings. The company was abuzz with fresh faces and renowned stars alike. His ascent to stardom had been meteoric, and everyone treated him with due respect. Yet, behind the closed doors of the office, he was insignificant.

And now, he was bound to serve as Rachel Dorie's escort. The mere thought of her cunning stratagems made his skin bristle with revulsion. But there was no escape-contracts were the bane of artists like him.

Desperation clouded his eyes as he slid into the car, toying with the idea of ending it all. He considered exposing Rachel Dorie's vile deeds before taking the final plunge. After all, he had gained some notoriety.

His agent, who had been with him for years and was well aware of his stubborn nature, attempted to dissuade him. "Easy, man, don't do anything rash. There's always a way out."

Rachel Dorie's infamous reputation was well-known in the industry. Not too long ago, a promising male star had been found lifeless in his apartment. It wasn't the pressures of fame that had driven him to his end, but Rachel Dorie's destructive games that he couldn't bear.
