"Okay!" Ned replied kindly.
After hanging up the phone, Ingrid looked at Linda, who was looking at her with an unsatisfied look, and said with a smile, "Ms. Davis, please help me contact Norwalk Corporation.
"Ned is right. This issue has always been a hidden risk to us. Now that we've signed the contract, it's time for me to reveal the truth to Simon."
Linda stared at Ingrid with her eyebrows furrowed in disagreement.
"Don't worry, Ms. Davis. I believe in Angie! If she said she won't take the initiative to expose us, she won't do it." Ingrid affirmed. "Plus, the CEO of Norwalk Corporation said during an interview that they chose me because I fit their style.
"I'll let Norwalk Corporation know I've communicated with Angie later during our connect. Since the endorsement contract had been signed and settled, I'm sure a pretty person with a beautiful heart like Angie will not expose us."
Ingrid continued reassuring Linda with a smile, "I'll try to be more sincere. Regardless of whether they want to terminate the contract or lower the endorsement fee, I'll agree!
"Considering that they won't contradict themselves for their brand, surely they won't terminate our contract."
"Don't be naive, Ingie!" Linda said through her gritted teeth. She folded her arms before her chest and continued, "Without Angeline's contract, do you think Norwalk Corporation will buy it? Who knows if they will directly terminate your contract publicly to avoid trouble? And then say it's because you pretend to be the lifesaver for Simon.
"If that's so, then you're finished! They'll find out about your relationship with Angeline and Mr. Fletcher!"
"Ms. Davis, didn't you mention that I can tell the truth after I've signed the contract?" Ingrid said with her eyes widened. "So, was that a lie? You've never thought of letting me tell the truth, do you?"
Linda pursed her lips as if giving tacit agreement.
