Chapter 1987: Chapter 1981: It’s all because of that little bitch, Joanna Lawrence

"Let Mr. Wiggins know that we’ll have to reschedule when I’m free. I’ll treat him to dinner next time."

"I have an urgent matter to attend to, and I need to leave immediately."

Annie’s face changed: "Mr. Marshal, what’s so urgent that you need to leave right away? You’ve already made plans with Mr. Wiggins, and he’s waiting for you."

"Baby, I truly have an important matter to attend to. Be good, I’ll make it up to you next time."

After saying this, the old man turned around as if he was afraid that Annie would continue to pester him and quickly walked away.

He didn’t give Annie any time to react.

By the time Annie realized what had happened, the old man was already far away.

Annie stood there, looking extremely uneasy as she realized what had just taken place.

At this moment, her phone rang.

Seeing that it was Peter Wiggins calling, she nervously gripped her phone tightly.

The phone rang for a while before she answered with an uneasy expression.

A gloomy voice came from the other end, "I told you to bring Mr. Marshal over, why haven’t you brought him here yet?"

Annie was somewhat afraid of Peter Wiggins.

With the old man gone, she had not accomplished her task and had kept Peter waiting for a long time.

She stammered, "Mr. Marshal... he left, saying he had an urgent matter."

"Jacob Marshal left?" Peter Wiggins fell silent for a moment before continuing angrily, "Didn’t I tell you to make sure he came here? Did you not tell him that I was waiting for him?"

"I did." Annie looked pale with fear. She bit her lip and responded after a few seconds, "But Mr. Marshal said he had something important to attend to and had to leave immediately. He said next time, he’ll treat you to a meal."

"You stupid fool. There won’t be a next time." Peter Wiggins exploded, "If he leaves now, there won’t be another chance. I gave you such a simple task, and you couldn’t even do it. What use are you?"

"Mr. Wiggins, I..."

"Don’t bother coming up."

Listening to Peter’s cold voice, Annie panicked, "Mr. Wiggins, what about my endorsement?"

Peter had previously promised to give her a first-line endorsement.

"You still want the endorsement? Your workload will be reduced in the near future. As for post-production arrangements, it depends on your performance. That’s all. You can go now." Peter hung up the phone.

As Annie listened to the disconnect tone, she almost threw her phone to the ground in anger.

The first-line endorsement had initially been arranged for her.

The deal was practically set in stone.

But now, her endorsement was gone.

All of this was because of little Joanna.

It was only after Jacob Marshal saw Joanna that he suddenly became cold to Annie and expressed his desire to leave.

Annie was initially angry. But after her anger subsided, she was filled with fear and worry.

Peter Wiggins mentioned reducing her workload.

Her current exposure was already limited. If her workload were further reduced, she was afraid her popularity would suffer greatly.

In the entertainment industry, where newcomers emerged in droves, a decline in popularity could quickly lead to being replaced.

In the elevator.

Gary White noticed that Joanna was keeping her head down and not speaking. Assuming that she was upset about what had just happened, he comforted her, "If you’re not happy, Joanna, I’ll teach that Jacob Marshal a lesson for you. How do you want me to do it?"

"Brother, I’m not unhappy." Joanna looked up with a thoughtful expression before continuing, "I’m just pondering something."
