"He's apologising to you."
Eloise explained.
Karter raised his head and gazed at Gwenda. His eyes no longer held any contempt, but instead had admiration in them. "I apologise for my previous rudeness. Other than that, I thank you for your remarkable foresight, for it has helped me overcome this difficult situation."
"Oh, I see."
Gwenda chuckled and said, "It's fine. I'm your boss. It's my duty to help any artist under my management. Let's sit instead of standing around, shall we?"
They then proceeded to sit down.
Looking at Gwenda, Karter asked with a raised eyebrow, "You're not angry at the way I used to treat you?"
"You didn't know me, so it was natural that you knew nothing about what I was capable of. Thus, it's reasonable for you to question my abilities. Now that you've learnt your lesson and witnessed my capabilities, I'm very happy."
Gwenda said half-jokingly.
Hearing that, Karter suddenly laughed out loud and nodded in agreement. "You're right. I have really learned my lesson this time."
In the future, he would be a good actor and stick with shooting films instead of going on whatever variety show.
It would save him the trouble of being accused of things that he never did in the first place.
"Looks like this incident has gotten you to behave."
Eloise teased.
Karter shrugged and said helplessly, "I will just do what the boss asks me to next time. I will never disobey her again."
Gwenda smiled and said, "Well, this is the end of this matter. Next, we shall have a discussion about the following work you will undertake. Let's begin the meeting."
The meeting lasted for more than an hour.
By the end of it, it was getting late.
Karter proposed treating Gwenda to a meal, and she agreed after thinking for a moment.
...
He also invited Eloise and Hattie.
Upon leaving the meeting room, Karter was about to head to the parking lot to get his car when his phone rang.
Giving it a quick glance, he answered the call. "Hello, Ms. Mejia. How may I help you?"
"I just got back from abroad and saw the news about you. Karter Hogan, you've caused quite a big fuss! You must've had quite a few exciting days, huh?"
A woman's mocking laughter came from the other end of the line.
