Chapter 669: Chapter 668: You can tell me, and I’ll help you solve it

She laughed bitterly, "Very well, Ms. Joanna, I hope that Director White’s interest in you continues to increase and never lessens. Otherwise... Huh..."

Perhaps out of respect for Maddox Allenson’s presence and for the sake of preserving her own image, she abruptly stopped speaking, huffed coldly, then turned around and left.

"I’m sorry, Joanna."

Once Lisha Alcock had left, Nina looked worried, "It’s all my fault. I brought trouble upon you."

"What are we going to do? Lisha seems really mad. Will she deliberately try to cause trouble for you?"

"Joanna, I’m really sorry. I can’t believe I got you into such trouble."

Regret filled Nina’s eyes, and she was on the verge of tears.

Joanna Lawrence consoled her by lightly patting her shoulder, "It’s not your fault. Even if you hadn’t said those words, she would still try to make things difficult for me."

The root of the problem was Gary White.

So, whether or not Nina had said those words, the outcome would have remained the same.

The moment Gary White gave her his phone number in public, it was impossible for Lisha Alcock to let her off.

"But..." Nina still felt guilty.

She had been Joanna Lawrence’s assistant for less than a day and had already caused such a huge problem.

On her first day on the film crew, she had managed to offend the female lead.

The next three months were undoubtedly going to be tough.

Even if Lisha Alcock was wary of Director White and her own image, she wasn’t likely to do anything too openly.

But who knows what kind of tricks she would play behind the scenes.

With Lisha’s current status, it would be too easy for her to secretly undermine a newcomer.

"Nina, this really has nothing to do with you." Joanna Lawrence sighed, "Can’t you see? It’s all because of Gary White..."

As she was speaking, she suddenly noticed that Maddox Allenson hadn’t left.

He was still standing there, watching her with an ambiguous smile.

Joanna Lawrence: "..."

"Mr. Allenson, why, why are you still here?"

Maddox Allenson, on seeing her panicked expression, smirked and asked, "Have I upset you by being here? If you want me to stay away, then I will leave now..."

"Oh no no."

Joanna Lawrence shook her head, "That’s not what I meant. I thought you had walked away with Miss Alcock."

Maddox Allenson raised an eyebrow in confusion, "Why would I walk away with her?"

"Err..." Joanna Lawrence also raised her eyebrows, "Aren’t you two good friends?"

Maddox Allenson froze for a moment before his eyebrows furrowed, "Who told you that? That I’m good friends with her?"

"Aren’t you?"

She had just heard Lisha Alcock addressing him as Maddox, which seemed rather intimate.

From her tone, it seemed like they had a good relationship.

But Maddox’s reaction seemed to suggest otherwise.

"No." Maddox Allenson answered without hesitation. "We previously collaborated on a TV series, so we are acquainted, but we are just friends."

"Oh."

She felt that it was unnecessary for Maddox Allenson to explain to her.

No matter what kind of relationship he had with Lisha Alcock, it had nothing to do with her.

"Don’t take her words to heart. It’s true that she has some feelings for Director White, so she is quick to suspect every other actress of trying to steal him from her. And what I said to her earlier, it wasn’t all lies."

Joanna blinked in surprise.

Maddox Allenson looked at her, his eyes shining like a galaxy, "If she tries to give you a hard time in the future, you can tell me. I’ll help you with it. I’ll look out for you."
