Since the time WC got a most coveted break, her career rose and along with her appeal came a long list of endorsements and appreciation from her followers. Everything that WC touched, mentioned, or even walked on became cherished and her fans wanted to emulate her. Knowing WC had the Midas touch, companies raced against each other to offer her endorsements. WC was on her way to achieving more than what any newbie could ever dream of in such a short period.
Fans liked WC because she provided the younger appeal in her projects. She was spontaneous and smart. In fact, her intelligence manifested in her capability to cope with the demands of her show, whereby she needed to match wit with seasoned performers. WC passed all the tests with flying colors and her popularity cut across generations.
Then, one day, WC did the unthinkable by hinting that she was tired and needed to go on break. Worse, she told fans to forget their dream for her and Engaging Performer (EP). WC unwittingly broke the rule of playing within the rules. She wanted her independence and freedom to be whom she wants, and not what other people would want for her.
Testing the waters some more, WC did the unthinkable and dropped EP from her social media. Fans are very nosy and when they saw what WC did, the online universe was abuzz with speculation on the motive of WC. EP was left hanging, and had no idea. When someone decides to play with a different set of rules in the same game, expect the team to question such action. If WC thought she could get away with her action, she got a dose of reality. The elders were not amused, and no less than One of Brains (OB) reprimanded her. When OB talks, mostly everyone listens, as his words are considered wise. Thus, WC had to make up excuses that her action was just another ‘I’m only human’ moment of making a mistake. For someone who is deemed intelligent, one doubts that is the reason, which makes her action very dubious.
As WC tries to make a name, she should be reminded that her career hinges on a set of rules and to try breaking such rules might lead to an abrupt end of her sought-after position. Besides, her career is not just for her own pleasure now that she has made a name; rather, it’s for the simple folks who have given her their hearts.
