Chapter 317

After school, Juniper took a cab straight to Era Media. The choreography was complete; it was time to shoot the MV.
As soon as Juniper arrived at Era Media, Rachel rushed out to greet her. “Sweetheart, you’re finally here!”
“Hi, Rachel,” Juniper greeted her with a polite smile.
“Come on, sweetheart.” Rachel affectionately took Juniper’s hand and led her upstairs, her eyes fixed on her face.
“Honey, are you absolutely sure you don’t want to get into showbiz?” she pressed. A face and figure like that were going to waste.
“Nope,” Juniper said, shaking her head seriously. “I’m not interested in the
entertainment industry.” With her temper, she’d probably be in the tabloids every day for being a diva. She’d rather not cause that kind of trouble.
“Aww,” Rachel pouted, looking disappointed. “Well, if you ever change your mind, you know who to call.”
“Got it,” Juniper said with a small smile as she followed Rachel into the studio.
“Master Lunar.” The one dancer who hadn’t been fired immediately stood and bowed when she saw Juniper enter.
After Yolanda and Elvira’s little scheme, they had angered both Mr. Tate and Master Lunar. In a fit of rage, Mr. Tate had fired the entire dance crew, sparing only this girl, who hadn’t been involved.
But now, rumors were spreading that Master Lunar was arrogant and vindictive, firing the dancers out of a personal grudge and jeopardizing Mr. Tate’s music video. Since it was announced that she would be the female lead, the online backlash had been overwhelming, mostly from Mr. Tate’s fans.
What’sWithThisPersimmon: [Lunar might be a good choreographer, but Mr. Tate’s dance team trained overseas for years for this video. How can she just fire them all?]
ShitStirrer: [Mr. Tate poured his heart and soul into this MV, and Lunar ruined it in a heartbeat. Now she gets to be the lead? On what grounds?]
NobelPrizeForCuteness: [I don’t know what happened, but how can you ask ‘on what grounds’? It’s because she’s MASTER LUNAR! This is Lunar we’re talking about!]
TinyTantrum: [So what if she’s
Lunar? Does that give her the right to trample all over my idol’s hard work? If he doesn’t win that international award, he’ll be devastated
Saint: [Come on. If Mr. Tate trusts her, there must be a reason.
Besides, Master Lunar has the looks and the talent Why can’t she be the
lead? You think you could do better?]
LunarGetOut: [If that’s you, Lunar, use your real account! You have the guts to fire people but not to show your face?]
MarryMeMrMoneybags: [I’m starting to suspect Master Lunar and Mr. Tate made some kind of shady deal. Why else would he choose her out of everyone?]
MrTatelsMyHusband: [Mr. Tate, open your eyes! Lunar is not right for this!]
RetiredSteelBar: [LUNAR GET OUT OF THE MV! GET OUT! GET OUT! Say it three times because it’s important!]
“How’s the choreography coming along?” Juniper asked, her voice smooth and lazy as she tossed her bag on the sofa and took off her jacket.
“I’ve learned it all,” the girl replied nervously quickly turning off her phone so Juniper wouldn’t see the negative comments. Some of the moves might not be perfect ŷet, though.”
