“Are you sure? My company is pretty small. Wouldn’t your talent be wasted here?” Nancy asked.
“I don’t care. I’ll still be your spokesperson even if it’s an unknown company. How can I let others bully you? Let’s sign the contract already,” Hillary urged firmly.
Nancy chuckled. “Okay. Thanks a lot.”
“But it’ll probably take a few days for the filming to wrap up. There are a few things that still need to be settled,” Hillary said.
“Don’t worry about it. It’s not urgent,” Nancy replied.

“A better spokesperson? I found one already. The company will announce it soon.
Rebecca stared hard at Nancy. “Oh? Who is it? Why didn’t you tell us sooner? I doubt your new spokesperson would be stay in a company like this.”
With that, Rebecca threw her employee tag on the table.
