Finally, it was her turn to get in a car. Vanessa let out a sigh of relief and took out her phone to call Laverne's assistant. "Sasha, can you get in touch with Laverne?"
"Laverne went home. Vanessa, are you back in the country too?" The assistant on the other end was still cordial enough.
"I'm back. I want to see her. Can you set up a meeting for me?" Vanessa said.
"I'm sorry, but Laverne said she doesn't want to see you right now. Also, she said—"
"Said what?"
"Laverne also said that starting today, she is no longer your manager and won't be handling any of your PR or business matters. Vanessa, did you two have a fight?"
Vanessa's expression darkened. The whole trip had already soured her mood, and now Laverne was just quitting on her? Without even telling her first?
"No," Vanessa huffed. "Just tell her that I'm treating her to dinner tonight. We need to talk."
"Okay, Vanessa," the assistant replied tactfully.
Hanging up, Vanessa felt a mix of irritation and panic. Without Laverne, she would have to handle many things herself. Laverne had managed several of her advertising deals, and a new person would never be as effective.
Vanessa returned to her villa and frowned at the sight of the empty home and the layer of dust on the tables. Usually, whenever she was due back, Laverne would arrange for housekeepers to come and clean thoroughly, and she'd even bring Vanessa's favorite flowers to fill the vases.
