Wrong Deal

When reality hits that no one wants your services as an actor or your prowess as a lover, you need to humble yourself and not be choosy with opportunities that would come your way. During these times when his career is no longer as lucrative, Former Heartthrob (FH) had to accept a deal from a company that makes bags. The offer was still going to give him a bit to alleviate his financial situation.

The deal was to endorse the products via a photoshoot that would be featured on social media, tarps, and posters. Immediately, FH was paid in full. In addition, the management gave him some products that he could sell or give as gifts without asking payment. The transaction was over and FH received more than what he was offered. After a few weeks, FH came by the company and asked if he could be given some more products for his relatives and friends to endorse with their social media accounts. The management agreed.

Later, FH returned and requested for more products. He said that he will be giving the products at an event of a charity organization. His pitch was that the gesture would be good for the CSR image of the company. The owner asked the name of the organization and FH dropped a name.

What FH did not know was that the owner is a good friend of one of the officials of the charity organization. The owner called the official and said that FH would be bringing products to their event. The official said that their event was already done a few days ago. No FH and bags came.

Much to the disappointment of the owner, an investigation was conducted. The owner found out that all the products FH requested were being sold by his friend. Instead of allowing anger toward FH to prevail, compassion filled the owner’s heart and just FH be. However, FH was no longer allowed to pull out any product. Worse, his contracts were terminated and all the materials from his photoshoot were removed.
