Chapter 863: Chapter 861: How great would it be if Joanna Lawrence really were his sister?

"Is it really him?"

Joanna Lawrence’s face showed disbelief. After confirming that the person she was going to meet was the "Godfather of Music" Gerard North, she suddenly became nervous.

She stopped and tugged at Gary White’s sleeve. "Mr. White, I think we’d better not go."

Gary’s steps also paused, he looked down at her and asked in confusion, "Why? Don’t you want to meet Gerard North?"

This was an opportunity that many people could only dream of.

Even though Joanna was not in the music industry.

But having the chance to meet such a big shot, no one would refuse.

"It’s not that," Joanna honestly told him, "I’m just a little scared."

"Scared?" Gary raised an eyebrow, finding it a bit amusing. "What are you afraid of?"

"I think Gerard North is a very serious person. He doesn’t seem very approachable." In front of Gary, Joanna always spoke her mind. She thought about Gerard’s stern demeanor and felt a little afraid.

She hadn’t had any contact with Gerard before.

But she did know a little about him.

It was said that he was a bit eccentric, and even Tina Garmston, who had worked with him for many years, admitted to being afraid of him sometimes.

Especially when he was in work mode, he didn’t care about anyone else.

If one’s performance didn’t meet his expectations, he wouldn’t care who they were and wouldn’t show any mercy.

Scolding was still inevitable.

Even an A-list celebrity like Tina Garmston had been scolded by him before.

As a newcomer, Joanna really couldn’t help but be scared when she was suddenly told she was going to meet him.

Hearing her reason for being afraid of Gerard, Gary couldn’t help but chuckle, patting her head with a touch of indulgence he didn’t even notice himself. "What’s there to be afraid of? I’m here with you; he can’t eat you alive, can he?"

"He’s not as scary as you think. If he dares to be fierce to you, I’ll back you up and help you fight back, alright?"

"Joanna, this is a great opportunity. Since you have talent in singing, you shouldn’t waste it." Gary suddenly became serious. "I know you want to develop in the entertainment industry, but there’s no need to reject other opportunities."

"Isn’t it better to develop in multiple fields, like both the film and music industries? I have resources in this area, and I can introduce you to people so you can take fewer detours. If you’re only avoiding meeting him because you’re genuinely afraid of Gerard, then you can rest assured."

A smile appeared on his face again, and he said with a grin, "You’re the person I brought with me; he has to give me face and won’t be too serious in front of you."

Of course, Joanna knew Gary was doing this for her benefit.

He truly treated her like a younger sister.

Not only did he give her the opportunity to play Female Lead 1, but he also brought her to meet Gerard North.

He had just given her some sincere advice as well.

If she continued to refuse, it would really be ungrateful.

"Alright, Mr. White, I’ll go with you." With trust in her eyes, her black, soft gaze rested on Gary, as she spoke softly, "I believe in you."

Seeing her obedient appearance, Gary couldn’t help but pat her head again.

What a well-behaved girl.

Especially when those crystal-clear eyes, full of trust, looked at him, a certain part in Gary’s heart couldn’t help but soften.

He thought to himself, how nice it would be if Joanna were really his sister.
