Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism
Chapter 586 Had Violeta Become This Influential?

The headquarters reached out to Clara, asking her to discuss the matter further with Apex Entertainment.

If Violeta's contract was the issue, they were willing to wait.

And Eau Amore showed its sincerity by offering Apex's artists an exclusive invite list for the upcoming Eau Amore's new product, Ascent Eau de Parfum, press conference. When Clara got the news, she quickly let Amber know.

Meanwhile, Lance had sent his team over to try to persuade them. They reached an agreement quickly.

The higher-ups at Apex were blown away to hear that Eau Amore was willing to wait until Violeta wrapped up The Golden Age before making the spokesperson deal official. Had Violeta really become this influential?

It was unbelievable.

This must be a first in the entertainment industry-a brand willing to wait an entire year for an artist.

Eugene, as the manager, was the first to learn about this outside of the senior executives.

"They're willing to wait for Violeta to finish filming? Who knew they had such good taste."

Lance couldn't stand Eugene's smug attitude. "What are you so proud of? This definitely wasn't your doing. Just keep it to yourself and be happy. This news isn't public yet, so don't go blabbing." Eugene said, "Yeah, yeah, I know. I don't need you to teach me."

Good news that wasn't set in stone shouldn't be flaunted.

If you made a big deal out of it, it might just fall through.

Lance added, "Eau Amore also gave us an exclusive invite to their new product launch event. The company decided to give it to Tracy."

Eugene shrugged. "Sure, whatever. We've already grabbed the big prize, no need to worry about the small stuff.

"But you know, even with something this small, Winnie's probably going to act like she's on top of the world. Just the thought of her strutting around like that is hilarious."

Lance shook his head with a sigh. "I'm guessing there's a big showdown coming up."

Eugene squinted. "Alright, spill the details."

Lance said, "Our CEO just broke up with that airhead."

The airhead?

Oh, you mean Evelina.

Eugene said, "Well, they've been together long enough. Did they really break up, or is it just another fight?"

Lance replied, "You're

underestimating our CEO. From

what I heard, the only reason they didn't break up sooner was because his family was setting him up on blind dates. He didn't want to go, so he used Evelina as a shield. Now that they've stopped pushing the blind dates, they naturally broke up. He even gave her a breakup fee- she can pick any brand's dress this season."

Eugene said, "If she's not completely airhead, she'll know how to pick the best."

Looked like Evelina's going to hit the trendy search next with her exclusive first wear.

After leaving the office, Eugene shared the news with Violeta that Eau Amore had chosen her.

Violeta was surprised and flattered-she never expected Eau Amore would be willing to wait for her to finish filming. Even industry insiders found it hard to believe.

But soon enough, Violeta figured out who was pulling strings behind the scenes.

Later that evening, while on a call with her mom, she asked how things were going.

Irene said, "Vio, you should have already been approached for the Eau Amore endorsement by now, right?"

Violeta replied, "Mom, was it you?"

Irene said, "It wasn't me. It was your

Mrs. Ridge. Fau Amore's chief

perfumer is her cousin, and she has some inside connections. A while ago, she asked me to join her i writing a petition. I was wondering what it was all about. Turns out, it was for you."

Violeta suddenly understood. "Ah, so that's what was going on."

Irene smiled. "She really adores you, Vio. You've done her a big favor."

Violeta said, "Actually, I didn't do much. It feels like I just lucked into this endorsement."

Irene replied, "Just enjoy it!"

A week later, the Eau Amore spokesperson deal was quietly signed.

The exclusive invite for the new product launch event went to Tracy, making her the only celebrity from the whole entertainment industry invited to the event in Northern Orion.

Tracy quickly became the center of attention and the envy of everyone.

People in the industry who didn't know the full story started talking.

"Tracy got the only invite, doesn't that mean she's the one Eau Amore's looking to sign for the spokesperson?"

"It's pretty likely, right? I didn't expect Eau Amore to choose someone from their new batch of artists. I thought they'd pick someone from the veterans."

"Tracy's impressive. Her new drama's doing well. She might even surpass Violeta and become the new top star. Apex's talent for creating stars is really something."

"Violeta hasn't been doing much lately. With no news last year and nothing happening this year, people might start thinking she's been sidelined."
