Such a good and obedient little sister, he would surely take good care of her and cherish her.
They arrived at the high-end apartment where Gerard North lived.
The apartment was located in the city center, a place where even a tiny piece of land cost a fortune. It was famously a haven for the rich.
While Joanna Lawrence was waiting outside with Gary White for Gerard North to open the door, she inevitably became nervous. Especially when she heard the sound of the door being opened, her body instantly tensed up.
The door opened, and Gerard North poked his head out.
He first looked at Gary White, and when his gaze fell on Joanna, he slightly furrowed his brows, but quickly returned to a normal expression.
However, because of his furrowed brows, Joanna became even more nervous.
Her heartbeat was uncontrollable and quickened.
Seeing Ashton Heath made her heartbeat quicken because she was bewitched by his masculine charm.
But seeing Gerard North was purely due to fear.
Gerard North was almost fifty years old.
He was wearing a large pajama, his hair was a bit messy, and he hadn’t shaved.
When he looked at people, his gaze was somewhat sharp. Added to the fact that he wasn’t the kind of person who gave off a friendly vibe, Joanna involuntarily leaned towards Gary White.
It seemed Gary White also noticed her nervousness. In front of Gerard North, he stroked Joanna’s head and introduced her to Gerard North, "This is the girl I told you about. Don’t let your critical gaze scare her; she is young and timid. You’ll frighten her if you’re too serious."
After listening to Gary White, the expression on Gerard North’s face finally softened a bit.
Although he still looked somewhat unapproachable, he didn’t seem as intimidating as before.
"Come in," he stepped aside, his gaze lingered on Joanna’s face, which was too exquisitely beautiful. He frowned again, doubting the things Gary White had told him earlier.
Could this girl really be the one he had been looking for?
Although Gerard North was semi-retired, he still hadn’t fully left the entertainment circle.
He kept in contact with Gary White and a few other friends in the circle.
So he had heard some of the rumors about Joanna Lawrence and Gary White, however vague they might be.
Now seeing Gary White actually bringing such a beautiful young girl, he couldn’t help but doubt him.
This guy, was he intending to ask him to promote this young girl?
If that was really the case, he was going to be disappointed.
Even though they were on good terms, if this girl didn’t meet his expectations, no amount of friendship would make a difference.
Gerard North himself was unkempt.
The place he lived naturally wasn’t much better.
It wasn’t exactly dirty, but everything was in a mess.
As soon as Joanna Lawrence entered, she was hit with a smell of smoke.
The odor was not choking, but it was definitely unpleasant.
Fortunately, except for the smell of smoke, there were no other unbearable odors.
The apartment was quite spacious. Because there was very little furniture, the living room seemed rather empty.
Gerard North closed the door and walked into the living room, where he told Gary White, "Let her try singing immediately. You all don’t have any objections, right?"
He was a very proactive person and didn’t want to waste time.
Knowing his personality, Gary White lowered his head to look at Joanna Lawrence and asked in a soft voice, "Joanna, do you have any problem with that? Are you ready?"
