The hotel room was really soundproof so the yelling in the room did not affect the lively conversations between the assistants outside.
Jackson kicked the wooden table in the room. The camera wobbled a few times on the corner of the table and finally fell to the ground with a loud thud. The camera which was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars instantly broke into pieces.
Bastain stiffened and his facial expression changed. Only then did he realize the seriousness of the matter.
"It's just a few photos. It won't cause any problems for her this time. Look, after you released your statement last time, I heard that the fans sent her gifts. It's very nice..."
Seeing Bastain's attitude, Jackson's face grew darker. He wandered around the room, kicked the camera, and it crashed into the wall.
"How many times have I told you not to drag her in the limelight? Don't you know how much trouble this would cause? Do you want to lose your job?"
Jennifer's attitude was unusually cold today. It was not only because he used Rose to invite her to lunch. She was very perceptive, she must have seen the reporter. That was why she said those words.
Bastain panicked and said in a hurry,
"I'm doing this for your own good. I made a reservation in the restaurant for you. If they see you having a meal with your fans, it would solidify your fan base and increase your exposure. Isn't this good? This is a win-win situation. Remember, even though you made the statement last time and apologised, but we didn't take any action to show the fans we are sorry. There are already haters on the Internet who are kicking up a fuss over this!"
Jackson's eyes were bloodshot. Thinking about his already distant relationship with Jennifer worsening because of this incident, he was so angry that he wanted to smash something. His tone was cold.
"That's why you were so enthusiastic to arrange a restaurant and help me get rid of the paparazzi... ... to hide it from me. How smart you are!"
"Jackson, listen to me..."
"Get out..."
"I..."
"I said, get out..."
Bastain frowned, but he didn't dare to disobey him. He sighed, picked up his bag on the sofa, and walked out of his room.
The large room was filled with all kinds of gifts, like cards, flowers, chocolate, expensive musical instruments, exquisite cakes, and endless fan letters.
He took a bottle of red wine from the wine rack and sat on the carpet, feeling a little absent-minded.
In the secretary's office of the Joy Group.
Rose lay on the table with a sad face.
"I'm so hungry..."
Jennifer tidied her hair. "Do you think I'm not hungry? I only ate one piece of biscuits and gave you the rest. You are the reason why we are in this state."
When they returned to the canteen, not only the fried chicken was gone, but even the most boring salad was sold out too.
Aunt Lucy in the canteen had a very bad attitude.
