Chapter 160 He Really Did It
In the ward, the child was getting an infusion. Adriana stood beside the bed, looking worried.
Cassidy stood opposite her in dark glasses, still looking arrogant. She sneered at Gerald and said, “Five minutes? Are you gonna announce that you would get a call from Human Resources Department in five minutes? Gerald, who do you think you are? Have you forgotten that you’re just an assistant?”
Gerald touched his nose and ignored her.
Adriana’s face was full of worry.
In fact, she did not believe that Gerald was capable of doing so. She was afraid that Gerald would lose his
job because of her!
But as she looked at the perfect calmness on Gerald’s face, she began to wonder.
Gerald held her arm and said, “Just sit tight. It’ll be fine.”
Cassidy frowned slightly as she noticed Gerald’s calmness.
But then, she shook her head and thought to herself, it must be a psychological effect. There’s no way he could do that. Moreover, even if he did, all I would lose is an endorsement or a role. It won’t affect me much.
Cassidy then began to comfort herself.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the ward became a little weird.
Five minutes became a very long period at this point.
It was not easy to get through for Cassidy. At that time, Cassidy’s cell phone suddenly rang. She looked at the caller ID on the phone, which showed “Universe Group-Aidan”, and noticed that Gerald’s phone did not
ring at all.
With a slight smile on her face, Cassidy looked at Gerald and said, “Five minutes have passed. Now it looks like you are going to be fired.”
In her opinion, Aidan called her to inform her of the good news.
Therefore, she picked up the phone and answered with a smile, “Hello, Aidan!”
On the other side of the phone, Aidan sighed and said to Cassidy, “Cassidy, I’m sorry to inform you that Mr. Hanson called me just now, and he asked me to cancel the cooperation with you, including the endorsement
and movie. Universe Group has taken you off the table.”
“What!” Cassidy’s expression changed drastically as she cried out in alarm.
For her, the endorsement was not a big deal.
In fact, her endorsement of the Universe Group was quite supplementary. What she wanted the most was the movie invested by Universe Group. It was a big-budget production and she was going to work with a great movie director. She had also seen the film script and thought it would be a big hit after releasing it!
“Aidan…” Cassidy was panicked. She quickly asked, “Is there something wrong? How could the group stop working with me? My fame is beyond doubt, and our cooperation will be a win-win situation!”
“There’s nothing I can do about it. It was Mr. Hanson who gave the order,” Aidan helplessly said, “I’m going to
get busy now! Bye!”
“Aidan…”
Cassidy still wanted to say something, but all she could hear was a beeping sound from the other side. Mr.
Hanson had already hung up the phone.
“What?” Next to her, Fisher hurriedly came up and asked, “What happened!”
“Universe Group… canceled my endorsement and movie,” Cassidy murmured.
Obviously, she was shocked!
She had specially vacated her schedule for this film. Now that she was fired, it was a great loss for her.
Adriana was also stunned by Cassidy’s words. For a moment, almost everyone looked at Gerald.
Gerald stood there indifferently, touched his nose, and then shrugged his shoulders and said, “You can go out
now!”
“Gerald!” Fisher shouted in exasperation.
“You must overcompensate for my loss!” Cassidy burst with anger and shame. She looked at Adriana and
said, “320 thousand dollars. You must pay me every penny now. Otherwise, this is not over!”
“We will go through the procedures or insurance as soon as it is needed, but we are in the hospital. Are you
going to cause trouble here?” Gerald said, then took out his phone, “That’ll be fine. You always put on a good
