Movie Queen's New Life

Breaking News: Top Actress Savianna Vista Suspected of Drugging a Co-star The only thing on the news and social media is all about the top actress Savianna. At the age of 24 years old, she rose to fame and claimed the throne in the entertainment industry. Everything she does, people copy. Everything she endorses, instantly becomes a hit. But just as they say, "great power comes with responsibility," and let's add "great hater" to that. Because, as of now, the people are condemning Savianna—throwing hate, curses, and far worse death threats towards her. "Savi, please stop looking at your phone. Nothing good comes from doing that. It only just worsens your mood," Melanie says as she taps Savianna's shoulder. She watched as she scrolled on her phone frantically, as her eyes were glued to the phone. "How are we going to fix this, Mel?" Savianna weakly said. "I didn't do it. I swear! I did give her some drinks, but that was all. It was just an act of kindness because I saw she was thirsty! Who knows what she took after drinking that water? Why am I being suspected?" Melaine wanted to berate her because giving that girl water was bad enough. Who even said that being kind is always the answer? She has always acted aloof no matter who she works with, so why the hell did she give her water? But Melanie knew doing so would not do them good, so she swallowed back her thoughts and could only sit beside Savianna on the couch. "Enough of that. We should think about how to refute their claims against you. All the witnesses are pointing out that she only took a sip of the water you gave her because she was on a strict diet. Even worse, there is CCTV footage that backs up their claim. The water bottle was even missing, so we can't have it tested to prove your innocence. That girl is still in comatose after overdosing, so there's no one to ask about what truly happened." Melaine frantically summarized all the points about the case. This made the two of them even more depressed. They didn't know if they would be happy that the water bottle was missing or not because it was the only evidence. And as of now, all the news about Savianna is still nothing but a rumor. But if this continues, her career will take a huge hit. As of now, a lot of brand deals have been pulled out. As Savianna's manager, Melanie had to turn off her phone to somehow manage to stop the bombarding calls that she kept on receiving. Savianna's phone rang, making the two of them almost jump, thinking it was some paparazzi that got ahold of her personal number, but it was worse. It was their CEO, Mary Anna Rivera, the owner of Starlight Entertainment—the company who handles her. "Let's cancel the contract." There was no hi or hello after Savianna picked up the phone. It was already expected, but she didn't expect Mary Anne to be this cold towards her. She thought they would at least think of a way before giving up. "But—" Savianna hesitated, her voice breaking down. "No more buts, Savianna. There's no way out of this. I have already talked to the board members, and this is the only solution we could think of. Get out of the entertainment industry. Don't ever come back," Mary Anne explained and added, "We won't be collecting any termination fees as a way to repay you for all the help you did to the company. This is our last act of sympathy and kindness towards you. Come here, my assistant will be waiting for you at the back door. No one knows about that, so there will be no reporters waiting for you there." The line ended before Savianna could refute it. She looked at Melanie, who was waiting for her to tell her about the conversation. She shook her head weakly, tears welling up in the corner of her eyes, but she refused to let it out. "Let's go to the company." --- At the company, they were able to safely go inside. Her heart tightened as she remembered all the good days she had experienced here. Now, all of it was gone in a flash. "Here's the termination contract. The company will stop all the promotions for you, and we will have to announce it on social media to inform everyone. We can't let the company take any more hits. Our stock is going down as we speak. We also need to save ourselves, Savianna." Savianna laughed coldly. "Save yourself? You couldn't even help me clear my name. One rumor is all it takes for you to abandon me like this after dedicating my whole youth to this company!" Mary Anne bowed down, but she wasn't that sorry at all. To her, it was Savianna who brought herself to this situation. So she needs to be abandoned before they go to their doom. "Help?" Mary Anne chuckled. "How can we even help you when you can't even save yourself? Every piece of evidence is pointing at you. Unless you have some evidence to refute that, then we can help you clear your name, but do you even have that?" Mary Anne's tone was harsh. To her, sucking up to Savianna for all these years is already enough. Now, she is nothing but a suspect of drugging her co-star. No one will side with her. "Just sign it." She pushed the paper towards Savianna and handed over the pen. Savianna took it, her grip tightening as she read the contents of the termination contract. She signed inwardly when she realized at least the company didn't dare to scam her. She guessed that it was their last act of kindness. But to her, if she is able to get out of this, she will never come back again, even if they grovel. She signed the contract and handed it over to Mary Anne. Mary Anne couldn't hide her smile. She could surely save her company after she announced that the company was parting ways with Savianna. She could also give Savianna's remaining jobs to her other artists. Although they were not as popular as Savianna. With her gone, other people could take the throne. "Thank you so much, Savianna." Mary Anne was truly grateful to her. Savianna knew she was genuine, but only because she was now backing out of the industry. They both know that no one will be willing to take her unless they are courting death. Savianna only nodded and got out of the company. "What's your plan after this, Savi," Melanie asked, worried about Savianna. "I need to lie low, just like she said." "I'm sorry, I can't help you out there," Melanie said sadly. "Don't be." Savianna knew Melanie wasn't powerful enough to go against Mary Anne's words. With no evidence, this was also the best she could do. On the other hand, Mary Anne also didn't waste any more seconds and immediately posted in all of their social media accounts about parting ways with Savianna. Netizens were quick to comment, and it immediately became trending.
