Chapter 244
Mamie being here was no surprise, being the top dog at Century Entertainment.
But considering their past, Agnes thought it best to steer clear of her.
And so, she quickly ducked into the elevator and made a beeline for Ivan’s office.
Since they’d set up a meeting beforehand, Ivan’s secretary Faye ushered her in no problem. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Ivan was on the phone and motioned for Agnes to take a seat on the couch.
Agnes sat, quietly waiting.
After a bit, Ivan hung up, walked over and apologized for making her wait.
“No biggie,” Agnes replied with a smile, Tve only been here for five minutes.”
“What’s for lunch today?” Ivan asked.
“I’m easy,” she responded, “You pick the place. Lunch is on me this time. I still owe you for the favor
you did me.”
Ivan responded softly, “You promised me one thing. I can’t let you off the hook that easily. I’m buying
today”
Today’s agenda was all business
Agnes didn’t push it, “Alright, I’ll take you out another time.”
Ivan passed Agnes a document, “This is your promotional schedule for the next few days. Let me know
if there’s anything you’re not cool with.”
Agnes flipped through it. “Shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll do my best to cooperate”
“Agnes,” Ivan began, “1 hope you’ll reconsider signing with us.”
Agnes had managed to dodge signing a contract when she was filming the TV series, and had
managed to turn down Ivan’s offers since
Agnes gave a small smile, “Showbiz isn’t really my thing.”
“But you’re already in it” Ivan pointed out, “After Christmas, when The Magical Romance of Cinderella’
airs, I’m sure you’ll blow up. I’ve got a couple of solid movie scripts, if you sign, you can pick one you
like and ride the wave. I can make you the next Mamie” His voice was calm but firm.
“Think she can be the next me? Not on my watch!”
The office door swung open.
Mamie walked in.
She must’ve just come from an event, wearing only a thin dress despite the November chill
A fur shawl draped over her shoulders, her hair cascading down, her makeup icy.
Mamie walked in, slamming her purse on Ivan’s desk, “You know I can’t stand her. Why would you want
to sign her up? Century Entertainment can have me or her, not both. Choose wisely”
Ivan frowned, “Mamie, don’t be unreasonable Business and private life are two different parts”
“To me, they’re one and the same
Mamie turned to Agnes, her powerful aura and heels making her tower over her
Almost arrogantly, Mamie said, “You stole Jared, now you want to take my place too? Agnes, no matter
how sly you are, I won’t let you succeed. As long as I’m in this industry, you won’t have a chance to
shine. Just you wait, I won’t make things easy for you.”
“Enough, Mamie!” Ivan roared.
Marie looked at Ivan, somewhat incredulous, “Brother, you’ve never yelled at me before.”
Mamie seemed to become more agitated, “Agnes, what have you done to them? They’re all losing
themselves because of you. Today, I’m going to expose you for who you really are”
With that, she raised her hand to slap Agnes.
