The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 697

Chapter 697 

“I don’t care about how he’s gonna cuss me out, I can’t handle the stress of long work hours. I believe everyone would put their health first…” 

The assistant looked a bit troubled, “Mr. Reed, it’s way past the agreed time, some people might be really steamed! You’ve made your point, maybe we can wrap it up now…” Philip cracked a smile and took another sip of his coffee.. 

“Let them huff and puff over the phone. Remember, only agree to go after the third call…” 

The assistant sighed in relief, “Alright.” 

Back at the shooting crew, Shawn’s assistant hung up the phone and relayed Philip’s assistant’s words to Shawn. 

“He said he’s still on an IV drip, asked us to hold our horses!” 

Shawn heaved a sigh, slamming the bottled water he was holding onto the table. 

“He had the balls to come up with such an excuse!” 

But not long after the call ended, Chloe received a few pictures. 

She smirked, walking back to Shawn, “Let’s consider replacing him. Because even if Shawn arrives, I won’t let Jeanette continue shooting.” 

Shawn looked up at Chloe in surprise, 

“Ms. Summers, what are you getting at?” 

Everyone around gathered. This had turned into a big scoop in the entertainment industry. 

People in showbiz always wore a mask. Every smile hid another face, looking righteous on the outside but sly on the inside. Even when they couldn’t stand each other, they’d still put on a friendly face. They had never seen such an obvious opposition before. 

Chloe’s face showed a hint of frost, her voice icy. 

“Shawn, the decision to replace him now is a sign of respect to you. I don’t want to let down all the efforts the team has put in, otherwise, I could wait until Philip arrives, and then replace him right in front of his face.” 

Upon hearing this, Shawn’s face softened a bit despite the embarrassment. 

The one stood up today was not only him but also Jeanette. As Jeanette’s boss, it was understandable for Chloe to be mad about her artist being neglected. As she said, choosing to replace him now gave him time to find a substitute and avoid causing a stir in his crew. 

She chose not to blow her fuse right when Philip arrived, definitely an act of protecting his dignity. But… 

“Why this sudden decision?”
