My Gentle Wife is a Real Divine Being

Chapter 1057

“She’s probably trying to catch us off guard with this move,” Debra said, calming down.” She’s pushing her artists to work nonstop, taking on every gig they can get. By marketing them so aggressively, she’s maintaining a temporary buzz. Advertisers will shift their partnerships from our artists to hers. If we lose most of our clients all at once, it’ll throw our company into chaos. That’s when she will swoop in.”

Andrew muttered, “So, it’s a mind game? Theda knows how to play dirty.”

But Erica still looked troubled. “Now we know what she’s doing. What can we do? Just sit by when she steals our clients?”

If they lost their clients, their artists‘ commercial value would plummet. That would be a heavy blow to their business. Their revenue would dive, and they would lose their standing in Seamar City.

Debra smiled mysteriously, “If Theda wants to disrupt us, we’ll meet changes with constancy.”

“What do you mean?” Erica was puzzled.

“Didn’t Michael just say that artists aren’t machines? Working at such a brutal pace for two months will take a toll on their health. When people are exhausted, they lose control of their emotions and facial expressions,” Debra explained, turning to Randy. “I need your help gathering negative press on her artists. Things like being rude to fans, acting like divas with staff, showing up late to sets, or leaving early. Unprofessional behavior like that.”

“That’s it?”

“That’s all. Scandals about chaotic personal lives or smoking don’t matter much in this business. Fans tend to forgive that, and PR teams handle it easily. But when an artist earns more in a year than most people see in a lifetime yet lacks basic professionalism, the public will turn against them. Those stories are the most lethal.”

“Okay. Consider it done,” Andrew said, ready for action.

“Hold on,” Debra called after him. “Collect the dirt, but don’t release anything yet.”

“Why not?”

“We’ll wait for the right moment. I want to hit Theda with a surprise of our own.”

“What do we do in the meantime?”

“We do business as usual. If clients want to leave, don’t stop them. Just stay professional and polite. Also, give all our artists a vacation.”

“A vacation?”

That was going to cost a fortune.

“Don’t tell me we can’t afford a few million dollars for team–building activities.”

“We can, but won’t we lose out on a lot of ad deals and revenue?”

“Theda has 28 artists under her wing. They’re already stretched thin. Imagine we step back and leave even more opportunities on the table. Won’t Theda be eager to grab them?”

“Definitely,

“She will bite off more than she can chew. Even if she wants to hold back, the shareholders will pressure her to take them. Once all those opportunities fall into her lap, her artists can’t handle it.” novelbin
