Shirley’s assistant wore a smug smile, her chin tilted upward as if she had just won some invisible battle. She looked down at Leia and said, "Nonsense! Ms. White is having a fan meeting. You're not a celebrity yourself, so of course you don't know how much fans like their idols. They're clearly all having a good time."
Her words dripped with condescension, as though Leia’s very presence was an insult to the grandeur of Shirley’s carefully orchestrated event. And perhaps, in some twisted way, it was. After all, Shirley might not have boasted the largest fanbase in the entertainment industry, but her followers were fiercely loyal—the kind of fans who would do anything for their idol. Popularity could be bought and sold, but loyalty? That was forged in fire, and Shirley’s fans had proven time and again that they would go to war for her.
Leia, however, wasn’t so easily swayed by the assistant’s mockery. She looked up toward the private room, her sharp gaze piercing through the dim light of the upscale venue. She could already imagine the scene inside: a mob of adoring fans, their faces flushed with alcohol and excitement, celebrating their beloved star. And she knew exactly what kind of reception awaited her if she walked through that door.
"I don't know about the other fans," Leia murmured, her voice low and measured, "but I know how wild Shirley's fans are. How could I not...?"
Her words trailed off as the weight of the situation pressed down on her shoulders. This was a trap. A perfectly baited, elegantly disguised trap, and Shirley had laid it out just for her. As the wicked woman who had supposedly snatched away their idol’s man, Leia would be courting death if she barged in impulsively. These fans wouldn't just glare at her; they would tear her apart, verbally and perhaps even physically.
Finally, the realization crystallized in Leia’s mind. The moment—the sudden, unexpected agreement from Shirley to meet despite their bitter history—had been no coincidence. Shirley had been waiting for Leia to walk right into her snare, eager to humiliate her in front of an audience that would cheer every cruel word thrown at her.
The smart thing to do would be to turn around and leave. To swallow her pride, retreat, and find another way. But the situation was urgent. There was no time to formulate a different plan, no luxury of a strategic retreat. Lives—or at least her own future—hung in the balance. She had to take the risk and bite the bullet.
Taking a deep breath to steady her nerves, Leia stepped forward, following Shirley’s assistant into the private room.
The moment her silhouette appeared in the doorway, the room erupted. Fans who had been laughing and drinking moments before froze in disbelief. Then, like wolves catching the scent of prey, their eyes locked onto Leia with predatory intensity.
"Ugh... Isn't that the young lady of the Osborne family? She's the lowlife who snatched away Shirley's man, right?" one fan hissed, loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Yeah, it's definitely her. How shameless!" another voice spat out with venomous disgust.
"Great! We were just discussing how to teach her a lesson and seek justice for Shirley, but she came here all on her own. How convenient!" A third fan’s excitement was almost palpable, her eyes gleaming with malicious anticipation.
Some of the fans looked at Leia like hungry animals, their bodies coiled and ready to pounce, practically salivating at the thought of beating her down.
And in the center of it all, Shirley sat gracefully on the plush sofa, a knowing smile curling on her lips. She regarded Leia the way one might look at a clown stumbling into a serious stage performance—amused, pitying, and utterly condescending.
"Ms. Osborne," Shirley purred, letting the title roll off her tongue like an insult. "I'm having a gathering with my fans, but here you are. Are you feeling guilty perhaps? Would you like to kneel and apologize to me in front of my fans?"
Her words hung in the air like a challenge, and her fans responded with heightened excitement. They began to rebuke Leia fiercely, their voices overlapping in a chorus of hatred.
"Shameless witch! Get down on your knees and say sorry to Shirley!" one fan screamed.
"Kneeling and saying sorry is nothing!" another shouted, her voice dripping with cruelty. "I say we should strip her and shave her hair, then leave her at the crowded Circle Street and make everyone spit on her!"
The suggestions grew more and more wicked, each fan competing to propose the most degrading punishment. Some wanted to drench her in filthy water. Others demanded she crawl and beg for forgiveness. The room buzzed with vulgar ideas, hatred festering in every corner.
Leia clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms to keep herself from reacting. Every fiber of her being screamed to defend herself, to remind these people that they knew nothing about her situation. But she swallowed that urge, forcing her expression to remain calm and composed. She needed to control this room, not run from it.
Drawing upon every ounce of her resilience, Leia directed her gaze at Shirley, ignoring the chaos around her. Her voice was steady, polite even, as she spoke above the jeers.
"I'm here to negotiate a business deal with you," Leia announced. "It's big... so big that it can satisfy all your requests. Would you like to discuss it with me?"
The room fell momentarily silent, not because Leia’s words silenced the rage but because the sheer audacity of her statement caught everyone off guard. For a brief moment, the fans exchanged confused glances. A business deal? With their Shirley? The woman she had supposedly wronged?
Shirley’s expression shifted. Her smug smile flickered, replaced by a hint of surprise that she quickly masked with a scoff. She tilted her head and looked down at Leia as if she were a child claiming to have found a treasure chest made of gold.
"A business deal?" Shirley repeated, drawing out each syllable mockingly. Her lips twisted into a sneer. "You're probably just lying to protect yourself. I don't think there's any business deals you can offer me."
A tense silence followed, the air thick with unspoken threats and calculations. Leia’s heart pounded in her chest, but she held her ground. She knew that what she was about to say next would either free her from this trap or seal her fate entirely.
But that, my dear listeners, is where we leave them—two powerful women locked in a battle of wits, one desperate for a lifeline, the other enjoying the taste of dominance. How will Leia convince Shirley that her offer is real? Will Shirley even listen, or will she continue to toy with her prey? The next move could change everything.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
Oh my, what an intense chapter! I have to say, Shirley really knows how to set a stage. Bringing Leia into her fan meeting was a psychological masterstroke—surrounding her with devoted, alcohol-fueled fans who are ready to tear her apart at any moment. The pressure is suffocating, and you can almost feel Leia’s tension radiating off the page. But what I love most is Leia’s unshakable composure. Even while surrounded by people calling for her humiliation, she doesn’t break down or beg. Instead, she pivots with a calm, calculated offer that instantly shifts the dynamics. Shirley’s reaction is classic—mocking at first, but clearly curious underneath. You can almost hear the gears turning in her head. This chapter masterfully builds suspense and makes you desperate to know what this "big business deal" could possibly be. It's a gripping mix of psychological warfare and strategic maneuvering.
Given the sharp dialogue, intense atmosphere, and nerve-wracking cliffhanger, I give this chapter a strong **⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars.**
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
I predict that in the next chapter, Leia will finally reveal the details of her so-called "big business deal," and it will be something so unexpected that Shirley cannot simply dismiss it. Perhaps it involves Colin or some hidden asset that gives Leia genuine leverage. Shirley might initially try to downplay it, but as the real weight of the offer sinks in, she’ll be forced to clear the room of her fans to discuss privately. However, the fans' interference will not end quietly, and someone might leak what happened, leading to new complications for both women. Either way, a shift in power is coming, and Shirley may soon realize she has underestimated Leia once again.
