The actress came today while full of hope for making it big. She had not expected Hugh to talk to her again after being so distant that night. However, Hugh's words at this moment were a harsh wake-up call. It showed her that she could not get away with any tricks with someone like him. "I've got a lot of friends in showbiz, you know. I'm even training new talents at my own little entertainment company."
The actress looked hopeful, but Hugh's tone turned icy. "You do stand out in this business, but you're not exactly playing straight. So, the resources I've got? They're not for you.
"And from now on, my friends in the industry won't be giving you a chance either."
Hugh's connections were way more impressive than he let on. He was buddies with lots of big-shot CEOs in the entertainment world, people who had a hand in making stars shine. His skills in making people famous were legendary.
If that actress could have just caught a ride on Hugh's star-making train, with her talent and all, she could have made it big. Unfortunately for her, she ticked off Hugh. No matter how hard she tried, she would be stuck in the minor leagues.
"You took a wrong turn," Hugh said, his voice booming. "If you had just brought your past work to my company's talent team, maybe we'd have signed you on and given you VIP treatment.
"However, you went and did the dumbest thing. Now, I can't even stand to look at you."

The actress freaked out when she heard Hugh was pretty much kicking her out of the big leagues. She was not a superstar yet, but she had worked super hard for her fame and skills.
She knew Hugh could make or break people in showbiz. If he really turned on her, she would not just drop a few rungs on the ladder. She might not even have a spot in the industry at all. That was not what she wanted.
Things were just starting to look up, so how did they end up in such a mess?
"Mr. Lincoln, I really didn't mean to do it... I just wasn't thinking straight—" she stammered.
Hugh, however, interrupted her with
an icy tone, "No one in their right mind would do what you did. Do you have any idea how much trouble you've caused with that lipstick mark? My girlfriend's got it all wrong because of you."
The thought alone was enough to make Hugh fume.
Feeling misunderstood was the worst part for Hugh. If it were not for her, he and Chelsea would be enjoying a sweet vacation in Eurovia and not be on the brink of a breakup.
No matter how the actress tried to explain, Hugh was not having any of it. He just told her to leave and not to make things worse.
