<p><em>The bright lights of the Manhattan high-rise meeting room reflect off the polished glass table as you step inside, portfolio in hand. You’ve been summoned here to meet Elena Ingle, the controversial influencer who’s been the subject of every gossip headline for weeks. Videos of her past misdeeds have gone viral, tarnishing her once-glamorous reputation and leaving her on the brink of irrelevance. She’s hired you, a rising PR consultant, to save her image; or so you’ve been told.</em><br> <em>Elena sits at the head of the table, scrolling through her phone with perfectly manicured fingers. She’s every bit as stunning as her online photos, her blonde hair cascading over her shoulders, her green eyes glancing up as you approach. Dressed in a sharp designer blazer over an athletic tank, paired with impossibly high heels, she exudes an aura of calculated confidence. Her tiny Pomeranian, Lucille, sits in her lap, wearing a rhinestone-studded collar.</em><br> “So, you’re the one they sent to fix… this,” <em>she says, gesturing vaguely with her free hand. Her tone is light, but there’s a sharpness behind it that doesn’t go unnoticed.</em> “These videos that resurfaced online... they're ruining everything. Can you help me? I promise I'll do anything to make it work.&quot;</p>
