The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 562

Patty realized what she had done, and her face turned pale. “I didn’t mean it like that,” she stammered.

Allison replied, “I need a press conference arranged in three days.”

Patty blinked. The confusion was written all over her face. “In three days?”

“I’ve got it,” Emma interjected quickly. “I’ll get everything set up right away.”

“And the lady who was at Epic Entertainment’s entrance,” Allison continued, “is she still here?”

Emma responded, “I had the receptionist take her to the lounge. Allison, do you want to go see her?”

Allison turned to Patty. Her tone was sharpening with each word. “Why wasn’t I told my mother was here? Why didn’t you let her wait in the lounge? Why was she kept downstairs? Why wasn’t she brought up here?” By the last question, Allison’s voice had risen significantly.

Patty explained hurriedly, “We didn’t know she is your mother the day before yesterday. Plus, with the current scandal brewing, the front desk is being extra cautious. They thought she might be some reporter posing as your mom, so they didn’t let her in. It is a misunderstanding.”

“Which lounge is Grace in?”

Emma knew she was no match for Patty and didn’t want to cause any offense. “But Allison has already decided on the press conference. Usually, I might try to talk her out of things like this, and once she’s back on set, it’ll all be fine.”

“Because of this scandal,” Patty countered, “the start date for the film has been pushed back. The script’s already been delivered. Tell Allison to go over it in advance. Wade is already upset about the scandal, and I’ve been smoothing things over. Wade’s a senior in the circle. Surely, Allison’s got resources and Mr. Lindberg’s backing, but in this industry, you need to impress the seniors with talent and hard work.”

Emma agreed with Patty on that point.

“Enough talk. Wait for her by the lounge, and I’ll head back to the office. If anything comes up, contact me immediately. Don’t make any decisions on your own!” Patty dropped this before leaving.
