Chapter 95 Offending Felipe
As with all things, there was always a price to pay.
Felipe was no easy man to sway. Once his mind was made up, he would push everyone to the edge of their limits to see his own ambitions fulfilled.
Farrah had just locked her phone screen when she noticed an incoming call from her agent.
The moment she picked up, her agent’s voice blared on the other end, filled with panic. “What on earth did you do to upset Mr. Yates?” The agent’s voice trembled with urgency. “He’s pulled all your resourcest
Farrah froze. She didn’t offer much of an explanation, simply replying, “We had a falling out.”
“Are you out of your mind?” The agent’s exasperation was palpable. “You were just beginning to carve out a name for yourself, and now you’re pregnant and need a year off. I agreed to that, but even so, you could still keep your name in the game, keep marketing yourself. But now you’ve gone and offended Mr. Yates, and he’s cut off everything. What are you going to do now?”
Without the right promotions, Farrah’s popularity would vanish like morning fog In this business, another actress would quickly fill her shoes. If that happened, she wouldn’t just slip from the second tier, she could very well fade into nothingness.
Farrah understood the stakes.
She was silent for a moment before speaking, her voice soft but steady. “Then I’ll start over.”
“Farrah!” Her agent was astounded. How could she turn her back on such a powerful connection when she could have held on to it?
“It’s not a big deal. I’ve got the skills and the looks,” Farrah replied, her confidence unwavering “1 excel at my craft. As long as I keep pushing, I’ll succeed,”
Her agent stayed silent.
Farrah was about to add more reassurance, but her agent cut in. “Being blacklisted by Mr. Yates means you won’t get any decent offers.”
Farrah’s chest tightened, her grip on the phone tightening as well.
“The only roles that will come your way will be low–budget projects,” the agent said bluntly. “What good is your talent in those places? Are you willing to spend your life in insignificant roles?”
Farrah’s first instinct was to reject that fate. She refused to accept that reality.
Her dream, however unbelievable it seemed, was to become an artist in her craft.

“I’ve said what I needed to. The choice is yours now.” The agent’s voice softened with concern, aware of the gravity of the decision Farrah faced.
The call ended.
Farrah sat still, lost in thought.
Returning to Felipe was never an option. She wouldn’t sacrifice her child’sture, no matter what.
But her career…
With Felipe’s ban, she would be untouchable, too risky for director to consider.
The weight of it all sank in.
A glass of water was gently placed on the coffee table in front of her.
Freya offered it with a calm smile. “Have some water, Farrah.”
“Thanks.” Farrah returned a gentle smile, unwilling to let Freya worry. She took a sip, trying to look composed.
Afterward, worried that Freya might notice something off, she began to chat, her eyes sparkling with false brightness. “How come I never knew you were so good at fighting?”
“There was never a need to show it,” Freya replied simply.
Farrah gave her a playful compliment, “You are so cool, Freya.”
“I’ve got your back about your career,” Freya said, her tone serious.
Farrah paused, confused. Her eyes questioned Freya’s words. “Huh?”
“Don’t worry about what your agent said,” Freya explained, having overheard the conversation. She’d been standing there, waiting with the water, long before Farrah had noticed her presence.
Upon hearing Freya’s words, Farrah paused, then smiled casually. “She’s just joking. Felipe can’t control my career.”
Her friend had already offended with Felipe because of her.
How could she let Freya worry about her career too?
“Just focus on yourself and the baby for the next few months. Don’t worry about the resources that were cut off,” Freya’s tone was reassuring, her expression unwavering. “Once you’ve had the baby and recovered, I’ll help you land even better job opportunities.”
“Freya…” Farrah’s mood lightened as she cleared her throat.
She found Freya’s optimism endearing.
The way Freya painted a picture of a brighter future was somehow more convincing than any pitch her agency had ever made.
Freya smiled. “What do you think?”
“Awesome! You could even run a company,” Farrah teased, though in her heart, she had already begun to find peace with her situation.

She believed every storm had its calm.
She refused to let Felipe’s actions control her fate.
Freya grinned. “I do own a company.”
“Come on, you got be kidding!” Farrah laughed, nudging Freya lightly on the shoulder. “Even though you’ve got a hefty 1.4 billion in the bank, that’s just savings,”
Freya was momentarily speechless.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine.” Farrah placed her hand gently on Freya’s shoulder. “Once the baby is born, I’ll work hard to support the two of you.”
As for Felipe? She wouldn’t see him ever again.
“Alright.” Freya didn’t push further.
When Farrah was ready to return to her career, Freya would have a plan in place, a big surprise waiting to take the weight off her friend’s shoulders.
Farrah felt a warmth stir in her chest. She placed a hand on her belly, reflecting on what had happened. “By the way, how did you know where I was?”
Felipe owned multiple hospitals.
It couldn’t have been mere coincidence that Freya came to this very one.
“I had someone look into it,” Freya said simply, not elaborating.
