"Indeed, they are truly enviable. It’s evident that Mr. Ashton really loves Ms. Joanna."
"Ms. Joanna is so beautiful, with such a good personality. It’s normal that Mr. Ashton likes her, I also like Ms. Joanna."
"Yes, yes, yes, I also like Ms. Joanna. She doesn’t put on airs in front of us."
A group of maids were discussing about the two below the stairs.
Joanna Lawrence had just entered the bedroom when she received a call from Linda.
She glanced at the call, and accepted it.
Over the phone, Linda got straight to the point and asked, "Joanna, have you made up your mind?"
Joanna had already considered the signing matter.
So, she also directly replied, "Yes, I’ve made up my mind. Bring the contract tomorrow, and let’s arrange a place to meet."
Linda was silent for a few seconds, then opened her mouth again. An undertone of joy could be discerned in her seemingly calm tone, "Alright, you can decide on the location, let’s meet tomorrow without fail."
Their conversation was simple. After they were done, Joanna hung up the phone first.
Ashton Heath stood still, lowered his head to look at her and asked, "Who called?"
"Annie Lawrence’s former agent, my stepsister." Joanna didn’t plan to hide this matter from Ashton. Now that they were husband and wife, there were some things she also wanted to discuss with him.
She believed that Ashton’s opinion would definitely not be incorrect.
She’d feel more at ease if he made some decisions on her behalf.
"Your stepsister’s agent?" Ashton was puzzled. "Why did she call you?"
Joanna thought for a moment, then told him about Linda wanting to meet her to discuss signing issues.
At the end, she earnestly asked, "Do you think I should sign with her?"
When it came to Joanna’s matters, Ashton never brushed them off.
He thought seriously for a moment before giving his advice, "I think you can. Now that she’s had a falling out with Galaxy Agency, it’s impossible for her to return. Tomorrow, take the contract but don’t sign it yet. Bring it back and let me have a look."
"If there’s no issue, you can sign it."
"You said she’s now working at HE Company?"
"Yes." Joanna nodded. "HE Company is the largest brokerage company in our circle, having nurtured numerous top-tier artists. Last year’s best actor and actress were also from HE Company. If I sign with HE Company, the resources should be good."
"Linda says that she’s friends with senior executives at HE. She assures that getting resources would not be an issue, and if I’m willing to be with her, she would pull together the best resources to push me. If she’s not deceiving me, I’d like to sign with HE."
In the entertainment circle, who doesn’t have a desire to be famous?
She got into this line because she truly loves acting.
However, if she constantly did minor roles or played background characters, no matter how passionate she was about it, over time, she’d surely become demotivated.
Knowing that Ashton didn’t pay much attention to the entertainment circle, Joanna introduced him to it in detail.
After listening to her, Ashton nodded, "The condition she offered is good, but whether she is sincere or not depends on what kind of contract she gives you tomorrow. Anyway, I’ll look at the contract and then decide whether to sign it."
"Hmm." Joanna obediently nodded, "I understand. I won’t sign until you’ve seen it."
"Sweetheart." Ashton liked her being obedient and clever. She looked so cute, he couldn’t resist and kissed her after holding up her chin gently.
