"Linda was a long-time employee at Galaxy Agency with a certain level of importance, and then she was fired by David. She must be furious."
"She came to you for two reasons: one is to take revenge on David and Annie; the other is to see your potential, and sign you to HE Company, so that you can make some achievements in the new company."
"After all, she needs to bring some of her own people to secure her position in HE Company. To make someone like you, without any fame, famous would be a great way to prove her ability to her new boss. So, she’ll definitely do her best to promote you."
"I think the terms she offered are pretty good. What do you think?"
Joanna Lawrence supported her chin with one hand, pondered for a moment, and then nodded: "I think it’s good too."
"Baby, I think this is an opportunity. Just as you were successful in auditioning for Female Lead 3 in Brandon’s new TV series, Linda came along. Don’t you think it’s possible that you’re about to get lucky? I wanted to discuss the agent issue with you today, but Linda took the initiative to come to us."
"HE Company is now probably the largest and best brokerage company in the domestic market. Many superstars have signed with them. To be honest, although Galaxy Agency has been developing well over the years, it still can’t compare to HE Company."
"Hmm, I know," Joanna nodded, "It would indeed be great to sign with HE Company."
"Let’s not rush. Let’s talk about it in a few days. If she’s really sincere, I believe she won’t mind waiting a few more days."
There are some things she needs to investigate thoroughly before making a decision.
Signing is not a small matter; it must be carefully considered.
"That’s true; it’s better to be cautious. In any case, if she has no other agenda and purely wants to sign and promote you, I think it’s a great choice."
Joanna had made a lunch appointment with Aria Rowlett to eat Escargot Pasta at a small restaurant outside the school. Just as they were about to leave, hand in hand, she received a text message from Ashton Heath.
Ashton Heath: Ms. Joanna, are you free at noon? Would you like to have lunch together?
Joanna paused in her tracks.
"Baby, what’s wrong?" Aria asked, curious at Joanna’s sudden halt.
"Uh, Aria, I might not be able to have lunch with you today." Joanna said awkwardly, "How about we go for Escargot Pasta tomorrow at noon?"
Aria hesitated for a moment, then guessed that the message must have come from Ashton Heath.
Since her best friend had an appointment with her husband, it was only right that Aria was understanding.
"Sure, we can go anytime. Is your heartthrob asking you out for lunch? Hurry up and go!"
Joanna pressed her lips together, "Why don’t you come with me?"
"No, no, I won’t." Aria immediately shook her head and refused, "I don’t want to be a third wheel. Go on, don’t mind me. Enjoy your romantic time together."
"Uh, he hasn’t come yet."
"Well, you can wait for him at home. I’ll go first."
Joanna stood at the door, watching Aria leave. After closing the door, she replied to Ashton Heath’s message: Is such a busy person like you, President Ashton, free to have lunch with me? Don’t you have a dinner party at noon?
Ashton Heath replied immediately: Yes, I do.
Before Joanna could respond, he immediately sent another message: I have a lunch meeting with Mr. Clive from Newman Group. If you agree to have lunch with me, I’ll go and cancel with him right now.
Looking at this message, the corners of Joanna’s lips rose upward.
This message had an obvious tone of pleasing her and also revealed that her position in his heart was important.
