After the press conference, Jones immediately went up to the stage to assist Sandy down, avoiding the reporters' crowd. He led her to leave the scene safely.
Inside the elevator, Jones turned to Sandy and asked in a low voice, "Why did Selena come to see you today?"
Sandy took out her phone, opened a document, and handed it to Jones. "Jones, take a look at this."
Jones took the phone, read the content, and remained silent for a while. "Isn't Benedict pushing his luck with this? It's outright extortion. If Simsang Entertainment's artists see this, they'll go mad."
Sandy whispered, "If they're doing something like this, they must have planned it meticulously. It won't leak out."
"Then how did Selena find out about this?" Jones asked.
Sandy replied, "She said she saw it on Mr. Sharp's desk, so she copied it."
With that, Sandy looked at Jones. "He's planning to terminate his contract, even if it means paying a huge penalty."
"So he came to show you this and tell you about his intention to terminate the contract with Simsang Entertainment?" Jones clarified.
Sandy nodded. "Yes, that's why he came."
After hearing this, Jones shared what Selena had said to him.
Sandy chuckled, "Jones, if it weren't for Mr. Sharp's arrangement, you'd probably be handling Selena instead of me, right?"
Jones looked at Sandy and admitted, "To be honest, I didn't have high expectations for you at first. I thought Selena would be more explosive than you. But I was wrong; you and Selena are entirely different types. Each of you has your own strengths in different fields. The reason I chose to focus on you after seeing you perform during the first script rehearsal with your partner at Simsang Entertainment was that I suddenly realized it would be easier to achieve results with you. And you didn't disappoint me."
After hearing Jones's words, Sandy laughed lightly. "Jones, what if I disappoint you in the future? What will you do then?"
Jones seemed to ponder seriously for a moment. "I might have been wrong once, but I won't make the same mistake again."
Sandy smiled and didn't press further. When they exited the elevator and entered the lounge, Sandy continued, "If Selena really succeeds in terminating his contract with Simsang Entertainment, I'll recommend him to Gotrend Entertainment. Then you can say a few good words to Mr. Hughs, and..."
"Who needs you to speak highly of them in front of me?" interrupted Haider, who had arrived at the lounge's entrance.
Sandy turned to Haider and greeted, "Mr. Hughs."
Haider nodded and walked up to Sandy and Jones. "You did a good job just now."
Sandy smiled at Haider, "Mr. Hughs, I'm sorry for causing so much trouble shortly after I came to Gotrend Entertainment."
Haider waved his hand, "Your value is still high, and nowadays, many artists in the entertainment industry get married and have children. After resting for a year, we'll start afresh."
Jones also chimed in, "Mr. Hughs is right. Rest during this time, and after a year, we'll start again."
"Okay," Sandy agreed.
Haider looked at Sandy and asked, "Whose behalf did you ask Jones to speak for just now?"
