She Got A Better Man

Chapter 154

Exhausted, Cheryl dragged her feet back to the rented apartment. It was a small, simple room that could only fit a single bed. She heated the instant pasta.

Who would have thought that more than a year ago, she was still a celebrity who was very likely to make it? Just because she refused to sleep with the company's shareholders, she was completely kept by the company. She signed a ten-year contract with the company. The terins were very harsh, making her unable to do any work related to acting in these ten years except for the company's jobs.

Now, the company did not arrange any work for Cheryl. She did not have a single cent of income. The company stopped letting her live in the apartment she was provided with. She could only rent the small apartment she was living in and rely on all kinds of part-time jobs to survive.

Sometimes, Cheryl really couldn't hold on any longer. When her phone rang, she shivered in fear. It was the company calling. She didn't want to answer it, but she had no choice. She couldn't afford the sky-high penalty.

As soon as Cheryl picked up the phone, the company executive kept saying harsh and mean things. She couldn't feel anything when she took the humiliation and scolding. Cheryl had thought of committing suicide countless times. If not for her family, she might not have been able to hold on.

"How dare you offend Cindy? Listen up. You have to come to the company tomorrow to apologize to Cindy. Otherwise, you'll just be doomed!" The company executive finally stopped chattering and hung up.

Cheryl looked at the phone in her hand in a daze. Her pasta was ready. After wolfing down the pasta, she stared at the fruit knife beside her. She had bought it for self-defense.

She picked up the knife and placed it on her wrist. There was a voice in her mind, telling her that with a light cut, she could end this painful life. She had lost all the hope she used to have. She had signed a ten-year contract, but it had only been less than three years. She could not survive it.

The moment the knife cut through her skin, a clear and pleasant voice sounded in her ear. The beautiful girl, Elvira, said that Cheryl was destined to be rich and that she would become a top celebrity. Cheryl suddenly loosened her grip on the knife, and it fell. She lay back on the bed weakly and felt worn out.

Elvira returned to the company after dinner. She knew that Cheryl's matter could not be delayed. She called Cole, who said that Cheryl and Morris had not signed the contract. Their companies said that the two of them were not suitable for work now and recommended some other actors.

Elvira took the phone and found some information that she had ordered her staff to investigate. She gave it to Cole and said, "Take these to the person in charge! I want Cheryl and Morris. There's no hurry about signing Morris. Talk to Cheryl's company first."

Cole curiously looked at the information provided by Elvira. When he saw that it was actually a reality show video, his face instantly turned red and he felt very uncomfortable.
