"So, you don’t have to worry about me going back to work with Annie Lawrence. I used to represent her, but it wasn’t my personal choice; I couldn’t do anything about it since it was the boss’s arrangement."
"You can think about it carefully; I genuinely want to sign you. By the way, I’m currently working at HE Company, and I’m sure Ms. Joanna has heard of it. I have some connections with the CEO, so I can get access to a lot of resources from the company. If you join me, you won’t have to worry about not getting enough resources to promote you."
"If you’re still not reassured, we can sign a formal agreement. During the term of the agreement, if I don’t make you famous, you can claim a compensation fee for wasted time. The amount of the fee can be determined by you."
Joanna Lawrence: "..."
The conditions she offered were sincere.
It was clear that Linda really wanted to sign her.
Joanna had no particular bad impressions about Linda.
The person she had conflicts with was always Annie.
And it had nothing to do with Linda.
However, she couldn’t accept the idea of Annie’s former agent signing her, at least not at the moment.
Moreover, she couldn’t be sure if what Linda said was true or not.
So, even though she was a bit tempted, she couldn’t make a decision right away.
Linda didn’t expect Joanna to answer immediately either. She smiled and said, "There’s no rush; take your time to think about it. Just give me a call when you’ve made up your mind."
Joanna stared at her for a moment before nodding, "Um, Miss Tame, I want to ask you something."
"Why do you want to sign me? I’m not famous right now, and I don’t even have a representative work yet. Signing an absolute newcomer like me is risky, isn’t it?"
Linda picked up a cup with a cartoon print on it, her eyes half-closed, and said calmly, "You want the truth? Actually, I wanted to sign you from the first moment I saw you. However, at that time, David Benington didn’t agree with you entering the entertainment industry, so he didn’t allow me to sign you."
"Although he hadn’t taken over Galaxy Agency at that time, he was still my boss and the young master of Benington Group, so I had to obey his words."
"Annie’s conditions are nowhere near as good as yours. But since someone was willing to promote her, she became a first-line artist. So, I don’t think I’m taking a risk. On the contrary, I enjoy taking risks. Doing challenging tasks is more exciting, isn’t it?"
"I have absolute confidence in you."
"Of course, there’s another reason, which is that I want to make you famous and suppress Annie. I want that bastard David to know that firing me for his girlfriend was absolutely his loss!"
Talking about this made Linda particularly angry.
That bastard David had actually fired her.
Although she had been prepared to leave Galaxy Agency for a while, being fired was totally different from quitting voluntarily.
She had worked at Galaxy Agency for ten years.
Even without merits, she had put in hard work, not to mention helping Galaxy Agency promote so many artists.
She didn’t expect David to treat such a senior employee .
She had no more feelings for Galaxy Agency.
As long as David and Annie were together, she would never go back to Galaxy Agency.
Linda left after a short stay and having said everything she needed to.
Aria Rowlett helped Joanna analyze the situation: "It seems that the falling out between Linda and Annie is true since Linda wasn’t by her side when Annie had an accident yesterday. It looks like they had some quarrel over something, and Annie, not being able to take it anymore, asked David to fire Linda."
