Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 39: Did Tiana Thorne Get Plastic Surgery?
Tiana Thorne sensed numerous gazes all directed at her.
She didn’t feel the slightest bit nervous.
Striding with the confidence that she could handle anything, she exuded the most dazzling charisma. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Those closer to her were stunned.
"Is that... Tiana Thorne?"
"She posted on Weibo this morning, seems like it’s her."
"Has she become more beautiful, or had plastic surgery?"
"Tiana Thorne must have had surgery."
"Plastic surgery combined with makeup artistry."
Tiana paid no attention to the personal attacks in Jodie Tanner’s fans’ words, and walked straight toward the entrance of Zenith Media.
She behaved with great grace.
She wasn’t trying to steal the spotlight or ride a wave of popularity; she was merely returning to the company.
When Jodie Tanner saw her, her previously delightful mood turned uncomfortable.
Indeed, Tiana Thorne’s presence constantly reminded her that she only secured second place, while first place belonged to Tiana.
One has to realize, "Fox Fairy" is an incredibly perfect script.
If Tiana landed it, paired with her acting skills, she would undoubtedly gain a multitude of fans.
By then, her status as the leading lady at Zenith Media might be at risk.
In her heart, she longed for Tiana Thorne to quickly enter the company and not come out to steal the limelight again.
It always seemed that Tiana’s aura had improved.
Perfect enough to be a model.
Yet not pretentious.
It’s as if it came naturally, without a trace of affectation.
Such a feeling, even for another woman, was fascinating.
Just as Tiana Thorne passed by her.
The media suddenly became lively.
This is the trending queen, a woman who was once on the front page with Mr. Xiao Si; clearly the leading lady, yet failed to secure the role, and had to forcibly compete in a poll with A-list celebrities.
Basically, she was in a semi-restricted state.
So, the media swarmed in front of Tiana Thorne.
In an instant, countless cameras were pointed at Tiana Thorne.
The flashing lights made her the focus of the entire scene in an instant.
This situation was entirely within Tiana Thorne’s expectations.
Jodie Tanner must be displeased, right?
Because as the cameras shifted, Jodie Tanner had no choice but to move closer to her.
The media saw the two women standing together, probably the first time Tiana Thorne appeared in public view after her decline.
Furthermore, standing alongside an A-list star.
Surely, she would be trembling.
But the media found that she seemed naturally suited to facing the cameras, without any fear, composed and graceful.
"Miss Thorne, how do you feel about taking first place?"
"Miss Thorne, with your current lowest vote count, do you have anything to say to appeal for more votes?"
"Miss Tanner, will there be any subtle changes in your relationship due to this competition?"
It’s not unfounded to ask like this.
When Tiana Thorne was almost retiring, Jodie Tanner portrayed herself as the big sister.
She showed no disdain for the already past-her-prime Tiana Thorne, even expressed her care and encouragement.
To others, Jodie Tanner, who seemed full of gentle talent, was simply being kind to her colleague.
However, only Tiana Thorne knew.
Jodie Tanner was merely using her past sluggish self to accentuate her own talent and beauty.
Stepping over her to gain admiration from others, feeling overly pleased every time she heard people compare them.
At this moment, Jodie Tanner assumed her big sister role again.
She moved closer to Tiana Thorne, trying to take her hand.
Tiana Thorne sensed it a step ahead and nonchalantly lifted her hand to flick the strands of hair from her forehead.
Jodie Tanner felt a jolt in her heart, suddenly filled with a sense of foreboding.
