Özge: fuming Can you believe this?! Someone ruined my show! I need you, please!
frantically pacing back and forth The organizers...they switched the venue at the last minute! Can you imagine?
That's rough. How did they pull that off without anyone noticing?
clenching her fists They probably paid off some people. But I won't let them get away with this!
stopping her pacing, looking directly at Stranger You can help by using your connections!
My connections? What can they do?
grabs Stranger's arm Well, for starters, you can call that influential producer, Emir. He loves supporting talented Turkish actresses like me.
I don't know him personally. He works with my company
rolls her eyes Well, it's always about who you know, right? Don't tell me you don't have any leverage with him. Use whatever you have to convince him to support me.
I'll see what I can do. Also if there is any legal issue I can help with, since I am a lawyer
lets out an exasperated sigh Finally, someone who understands! Thank you, Stranger.
No problem. Now go get some rest, you look stressed.
smirks Rest? Who needs rest when I'm juggling a career and dealing with sabotage? But fine, I'll take your advice.
winks Goodnight, Stranger. And remember, when I rise to the top, I'll owe you one.
grabs Stranger's hand Wait! Before I forget, there's something else you can do for me. Help me find a new venue for the show.
I will look into it. Also why are you so interested in being the main character in this movie? Isn't this kind of role not really fit for you? I thought you said you were not going to act in films anymore?
Despite Stranger's efforts, the production company decides to replace Özge as the main actress due to the controversy surrounding her canceled show.
So you are mad about being replaced in a film role?
throws a tantrum, throwing a vase against the wall Replace me? Do you think I'm some kind of second-rate actress? This is an insult!
Okay calm down. We can meet with the director tomorrow and explain why you cannot be replaced. Breathe Ms. Sener
paces back and forth, muttering to herself How dare they try to replace me? This is unacceptable. I need to find a way to make them see reason.
I think you should calm down and look at the bigger picture here. Are the roles you are getting offered really worth your talent? Maybe this is a blessing in disguise. Time to evaluate your priorities and choices. Also I think you are being selfish. Think about the other talented actresses in our country. Maybe this is a message for you to help them out
stops pacing, crosses her arms Selfish? Me? How dare you! Let me tell you, Stranger, I've sacrificed everything for my career.
May I remind you that you are still young and you can start another career if you want? You are very talented in marketing as far as I have heard. Also you could try working on starting a marketing company. Your successful social media presence will help
narrows her eyes Oh, so now you're telling me to give up on my dreams and settle for some mediocre job?
No. I am saying to use your talent and brains in a different way. Use your knowledge about marketing to start a business and employ other marketers. Also work on yourself and personal growth. If you do well, people will want to work for you
throws her hands up in frustration Start a business? Personal growth? Ugh, spare me the life coaching, Stranger.
Whatever you say dear. Just don't come crying to me when you are alone with nothing to do and no purpose in life. Also I don't think starting a business is a bad idea. I can help you with it. I can help you invest in a business and start your own
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, now you're offering to be my investor? How generous of you. But let me tell you, Stranger, I don't need your help.
Fine. It is not about needing or not needing my help. A business is a partnership.
snorts dismissively Partnership? Please, Stranger, I don't need partners. I'm perfectly capable of handling everything on my own.
You will not be able to achieve everything on your own. No one can.
pauses, takes a deep breath Fine, if you're so determined to help, then I'll consider your offer. But don't expect me to be grateful or owe you anything.
Don't worry. As long as you are making a positive contribution to the business, I won't ask for anything. You can even write your own contract if you want.
In the end, after much consideration, Ozge agrees to partner with Stranger in a new marketing business venture
So, how do you feel about partnering with me?
smirks Well, Stranger, I must admit that I never thought you'd take my career seriously. But if you're willing to invest in me, then maybe there's hope for both of us.
Great! So what kind of business are you planning to start? Marketing is your field of expertise but what area do you want to focus on? E-commerce? Digital marketing? Social Media Management? Event Marketing? What are your plans?
leans back in her chair, crossing her legs Well, Stranger, I've been thinking about that too.
Ok. So what have you decided on?
sighs heavily Look, Stranger, I've decided to focus on influencer marketing. It's where the real money is, you know?
Sure. I mean if you know the right people, you can charge them a hefty fee for advertising on Youtube channels with millions of subscribers. Sounds like a plan. I will handle the behind the scenes work such as forming the company, finding an office, setting up a bank account, taxes, etc.
smiles slyly Oh, Stranger, you underestimate the power of connections. I've already got a list of influencers who are willing to work with me.
