Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 671

"I definitely can't join the cast next week. Tell Director Ward to find a replacement as soon as possible. And deduct the penalty for breaking the contract from my earnings," Yvonne continued.

"I know. I'll handle it. In the meantime, you lay low. Don't let anyone know about the marriage. If you lose a massive number of fans, you'll have me to answer to."

With that, Sandra hung up.

She put her phone back in her purse and turned to enter the banquet hall.

There was an industry dinner tonight, and Sandra had brought two new talents from her agency.

Being an industry event, she inevitably ran into Director Ward.

Director Ward approached her with a smile, a glass of wine in his hand.

Sandra raised her glass to meet his. Director Ward casually asked when Yvonne would be able to join the production.

Sandra said honestly, "I'm very sorry, Director Ward, but it looks like our Yvonne won't be able to join the cast on schedule."

Director Ward's expression faltered, his face darkening.

Director Ward directed online series, a far cry from the big-name international directors.

This wasn't the first time an actor had bailed on him.

"It seems Ms. Jones has found a better opportunity. Well, I won't stand in the way of her career. I'll find a new lead, and as for the breach of contract fee, we'll just stick to the terms."

Sandra smiled. "The compensation is easy to discuss. But I still believe that the lead role in your series is perfect for my Yvonne, and no one else."

Director Ward: "Why go to all this trouble, Ms. Garcia? With Ms. Jones's current popularity, she shouldn't have any trouble finding scripts."

"There's no shortage of scripts, but good ones are hard to come by," Sandra sighed.

"If Ms. Jones truly cared about this script and this role, she wouldn't be ditching me," Director Ward snorted.

"Our Yvonne has her reasons," Sandra sighed again. "Yvonne is Mr. Thompson's girlfriend. I'm sure you've heard the rumors. Mr. Thompson has suffered a minor injury, and Yvonne needs to be with him. All we're asking is for you to delay the shoot a little."

"I…" Director Ward's expression shifted several times. Before he could speak, Sandra cut him off.

"Director Ward, sometimes you have to be flexible in life and in business. If you just delay the start date a tiny bit, I'll owe you a favor, the Thompson family will remember your kindness, and everyone will be happy. Why make things unpleasant for everyone?"
