Sitting up attentively, Jayleen said courteously, “Hello, is this Miss Sh Potter?”


    “Yes, it is.


    May I ask who you are?”


    “I’m Jayleen Archer, the agent director at Vitality Entertainment.


    I’ve heard about your interest in joining us.


    We’re also looking forward to coborating with you.


    When would you be free? Let’s arrange a meeting to discuss signing the contract.


    ”


    “Oh…” Sh hesitated for a second before saying, “You know, it might be better if Lindsey discussed this with me.


    I don’t want to trouble you, Miss Archer.


    ”


    The corners of Jayleen’s mouth turned down slightly, but she forced a pleasant tone.


    “Well, the thing is, ourpany policy requires artists of your standing to deal directly with the director agent, so…”


    “Fine, but I have one condition to sign with yourpany.


    If you agree, then we can set up a meeting.


    ”


    “Of course, tell me what it is.


    We’ll do our best to amodate,”


    Jayleen replied, her spirits lifting…


    “I want Lindsey as my agent.


    That’s my term for signing the contract.


    ”


    Jayleen felt a knot form in her stomach, her forced smile freezing in ce.


    She hadn’t anticipated Sh demanding Lindsey as her agent!


    She had her own ns for Sh once the contract was signed, with no intention of letting Lindsey be involved.


    Furthermore, she was determined to remove Lindsey from thepany.


    How could she let Lindsey to bring in someone as significant as Sh?


    “I’m afraid I can’t do that, Miss Potter.


    Ourpany assigns agents after an artist signs on,” Jayleen exined, trying to maintainposure.


    Sh, unfazed, pressed on, “Miss Archer, I’ve never heard of such a strict policy.


    My request isn’t unreasonable.


    If yourpany can’t grant this small concession, then perhaps we have nothing further to discuss.


    ”


    Having been out of the limelight for five years, Sh was still sharp, easily seeing through Jayleen’s schemes.


    She knew well how agents bent over backwards for the chance to represent a star.


    Jayleen frowned, a clear sign she wasn’t pleased.


    Facing Sh directly, though, meant trouble she didn’t want, so she forced a smile and said, “Miss Potter, I’m not in the position to decide on this right now.


    I’ll run it by the vice general manager and get back to you once we have an answer.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    ”


    “Sure, that’s fine.


    ”


    The moment she hung up, Jayleen slumped back in her chair, her face clouded over with gloom.


    Later in the day, Jayleen summoned Lindsey to her office.


    “Miss Archer, have you touched base with Sh? Is the contract done?”


    Lindsey entered, bubbling with enthusiasm.
