The Hero
Chapter 297 A Couple of Older People
Javier actually remembers Victoria Loesch a little bit. He is one of the rising young stars Chad contacted when he faced Lloyd Young. He did not reveal his darkest secret to hurting Lloyd because he was busy promoting the movie "Ackerman".
To be honest, he would never have exposed it if not for the special circumstances they were in. He may not know this, but Victoria has actually been working under Javier all along.
That's the problem, isn't it? He had disrespected his boss' boss, until declaring he would destroy him with his own wealth. That's not appropriate!
He pulls out his phone and starts calling Lloyd while Victoria notices, sneering at him. "What now? Going to call some tabloids to make up 'news'? Please, you know they're going to argue for me rather than against me, right? Shit, my fans are soldiers! Go and make a riot if you are not afraid of being canceled to hell and coming back!
"Well, you're Miss Badass, aren't you?" Javier sighed.
Victoria was even worse than that, but she stopped herself. Right now, he did not know if he was calling someone or secretly recording them.
Not that Javier needs him to talk anymore. What's more important is knowing what Lloyd will do for the sass today. Once the phone is connected, Javier gets straight to the point. "Young! There's Victoria Loesch working with your studio, isn't it?”
Young one?! Like at Lloyd Young?
His parents and wife may not know who he is, but their daughter does. He should. She is his boss, and earlier this year, Victoria tried to get Lloyd's help through ****. That didn't happen, but only because Lloyd ignored his appeal altogether.
However, right now, this unknown b*stard had just directly called his boss and called him in a tone that only the superior would use when talking to his subordinates!
This little thing was what worried him. Sure, Javier could have been bluffing, but no one except the people in the business world has probably heard of Mr. Young. The fact that he has…
“-Oh, Brother, you have no idea how haughty he is to act. I just bought a house for myself, and this girl brought a big muscular man to beat me up. Then, he wanted to throw 2.3 million dollars in my face to get me out of that neighborhood. You must be very rich, I said!” Javier told everything to the man across the phone.
“I'm curious, Lloyd. Are every star and celebrity under you as rough and as important as this just because they are rich?” he finished with a rhetorical question, grinning.
Lloyd could feel his face burning. When he started his day today, he never imagined that one of his many lesser-known stars would be stupid enough to get past his boss.
“Understanding, boss. I'll handle this for you.”
After receiving such confirmation, Javier had nothing more to say. He hung up the phone and lit another cigarette. Chuckling in disgust, she told Victoria, “That's the sexy lips you have there, sweet. I wonder if you will be kneeling a few minutes from now, begging me with those cherry red lips to help you.”.
It was a special kind of humiliation for a woman to not be respected in such a lewd manner in front of her parents, and Victoria was naturally furious.
“You-f *cking-beast! I will not do that to you even in your most aroused dreams! Never think about it, d*ckface!” he's angry.” You might think you're sneaky for hearing my boss's name and using it to bluff this stupid phone call. Well, suck, loser! I wasn't born yesterday! Why don't you tell him to call me himself, huh? Come on, tell him to call me with that shit-eating grino that's yours!”
He was so haughty and so warlike that it was hard to tell whether he was just posing or whether he had any compelling reason to be so confident. Javier will not waste his time analyzing irrelevant things, as he is confident he will still receive the call he wants.
Three puffs of smoke later, Victoria's phone rang. He glanced at his screen and saw that it was his client, who needed him for some advertising work.
Victoria breathed a sigh of relief to herself. As long as it's not the boss!
He looked at Javier with renewed arrogance. “You see this? My client called me to tell me about my next advertising job! another 100,000 will go home to my mom. Oh, my God, what am I going to do with all this money ?!
Victoria did and called at the loudspeaker. When he spoke, his voice suddenly had a layer that was too sweet. “Oh, Mr Jones! Guess what...Other products that require star power? Okay fine! Our last deal was..2.3 million dollars, right? Hm. I think it seems too much for someone I consider a good friend, so I will do it for a price lower than 2 million dollars this time! Think of it as a gift from me to you!”
“Nona Loesch, with all due respect, I'm calling you to let you know that our company has decided to stop working with you from now on. Goodbye and good luck."
The shame hidden on his face barely had time to fade as a despicable shock swept across his face. He wanted to use this as an opportunity to show off to Javier. He wanted to blind her with his luxuries and luxuries!
Who would have expected this to happen ?! It feels like knowing someone has been pregnant for weeks since the last time you had a relationship ****! He could not understand why a client with a good working relationship with him would just leave him. I can't believe this happened right after he gave her a 300,000 dollar discount!
Nothing makes sense!
Patching up his lost dignity in front of his gawking parents was his least concern right now. What he had to do immediately was call his manager, and put up a loudspeaker at that. He must save his defeat. He has to fix his ego!
“Oi, you! That's right, it's me! You got one job, man. One job! How much did you do to destroy our contract with Mr. Trump. Jones
He barely made it that far when his manager was completely off track so hard that he cut Victoria's own nagging. “No, fuck you, ******! Or perhaps****** is not suitable to describe you! You really failed! Even your appearance fails hard enough to require surgical correction. I'm done with you. During this time, ******. Don't call me again!”
The call ends with a surreal, empty rhythm of conversation.
Victoria's amazed
What the fuck? Nothing makes sense. His advertising job is suddenly gone. His manager had fired him for no apparent reason. What the hell is going on here? Everything was normal a minute ago.
And then it slipped so hard that it went straight to…
He whipped his face towards Javier, an ugly premonition creeping into his chest.
He grinned at her, and she shivered. It was like seeing a hyena smile.
Even before he could digest well what had happened, his phone rang again. This time, he played it safe and listened to the call in person, but that did not change the fact that he had been completely humiliated twice in a row. His parents also showed signs of distress and despair, as their golden goose daughter suddenly lost income.
They had spent the first half of their lives surviving on welfare and through underhanded means before they were blessed with a daughter who managed to grow out of the mud from which she was born. They now depended on him to live like a top-class elite! This can't happen to her!
Unfortunately, it seems that reality has decided to ignore their silent prayers. When misery comes, they come not a single spy. They came in battalions.
Within ten minutes, Victoria continued to receive calls. He can't stop counting the number of times he's heard her fired - by her ad clite, her manager, two drama series, a C-list movie with her as the main character, she said, and three separate talk shows that have decided to take her off their guest list…
The call never stops. Worse, it all ends the same way: "Sorry, but it would be better for us not to cooperate again."
Victoria felt the world collapse on her. Did he offend the members of the secret cabal that controls the world? Everything's a mess now!
He turned to Javier and finally remembered that he was the one who called Lloyd first. His eyes widened in disbelief and panicked, he shouted, "This is what you're doing ?!"
