Chapter 312: Chapter 312

Placing the utensils in her hand heavily on the table, Quinn Lockwood suddenly stood up and paced to the side, speaking in a serious tone: "Stop hyping the relationship between Elias Sinclair and me; we have no relationship at all."

"Also, whether I endorse this product or not, it will not affect the collaboration between The Lowell Family and any other group!" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel[f]ire.net

"I absolutely will not take this endorsement."

Seeing Quinn Lockwood asserting her identity, Anna dared not persuade her further.

"We’ll discuss more specifics... once you arrive at the company; let’s also talk about other announcements." Anna said, hanging her head slightly, speaking to Quinn Lockwood with some resignation.

"Okay." Quinn Lockwood, feeling a bit irritated, responded lightly and then hung up the phone.

This morning is truly vexing!

Nina Sinclair took a bite of her sandwich, secretly observing Quinn Lockwood.

Tsk, tsk, being a celebrity is really not easy, too many bothersome affairs.

Anna, feeling somewhat deflated after Quinn Lockwood’s straightforward rejection.

A good seven-figure endorsement, just slipped away.

Anna knew Quinn Lockwood’s mind was made up, fearing that continued persuasion might cause Quinn Lockwood to direct her anger towards her.

Even though there were a hundred things she didn’t want to do, Anna still called Joyce Kramer to express the refusal.

Upon hearing Anna’s careful and cautious explanation of Quinn Lockwood’s rejection, Joyce Kramer felt relieved and immediately went to Elias Sinclair’s office.

"Sir, just received a call from Savannah Lowell’s agent, she said..."

"She said Savannah Lowell refuses to endorse our product, apparently she mentioned being too exhausted from filming recently and needs a good rest, besides... she looks down on our product." Joyce Kramer, cautiously glanced at Elias Sinclair, seeming somewhat aggrieved by Quinn Lockwood’s... disdain.

"Did she really say that?" The man arched his eyebrow, his voice calm as water, devoid of any detectable emotion.

Joyce Kramer pursed her lips and nodded, her brow slightly furrowed.

"Sir, Miss Lowell is obviously acting like a diva. Even though she’s currently enjoying great fame in the entertainment circle, she shouldn’t treat you with disregard." Joyce Kramer’s charming face reflected a hint of complaint, clearly displeased by Quinn Lockwood’s dismissive attitude towards Mr. Sinclair.

Elias Sinclair halted his review of documents, his complexion turning cold suddenly, laced with anger as he reprimanded: "Who allowed you to speak like that?"

"If we can’t secure even one endorsement, what do I need you for?"

Joyce Kramer was taken aback, her whole body froze in disbelief as she gazed at Elias Sinclair.

"Sir, I..." Her hands clenched tightly together, Joyce Kramer felt a chill spreading through her.

With furrowed brows, the man knocked the solid wood desk coldly, speaking sternly: "If she disagrees, then go invite her, until she agrees to endorse."

"Only the people I choose can endorse the products under Sinclair Group."

Joyce Kramer could hardly believe her ears.

Mr. Sinclair was actually instructing her to invite Quinn Lockwood?

She, the dignified secretary to the chairman and manager of Sinclair Group, had to lower herself to invite Quinn Lockwood, who was merely The Lowell’s young lady known for her beauty but lacking in depth!

The hands clenched together grew tighter, even though her heart resisted, Joyce Kramer still chose to head to the agency to find Quinn Lockwood.

She was determined to see what kind of scheme that woman was playing.

"Understood, sir." Joyce Kramer responded somberly, expressionlessly retreating.

She found herself unable to laugh, the thought of having to lower her status to plead with a decorative star was truly vexing.

With documents regarding the product advertisement plan, Joyce Kramer arrived at Quinn Lockwood’s agency.

"Is Savannah Lowell here? I’m the project lead for this endorsement." Joyce Kramer asked coolly, eyes lowered slightly, looking down on Anna.

"Miss Kramer, please take a seat; Savannah hasn’t arrived yet." Anna quickly smiled, pulling out a chair, gesturing courteously to Joyce Kramer.

Hearing this, Joyce Kramer’s expression grew longer, her tone more impatient: "She hasn’t arrived yet, then I should go; there are many matters waiting for me at the office."

"Don’t go, Miss Kramer, I’ll call Savannah immediately," Anna hurriedly stopped Joyce Kramer, picking up the phone to call Quinn Lockwood.

Side-glancing, Joyce Kramer observed Anna, arms crossed, her brows furrowed deeply in impatience.

If not for the boss, she wouldn’t waste time waiting for that woman. Her minutes were precious, able to handle multiple million-dollar contracts with the time spent here.

Anna dialed Quinn Lockwood’s number, but there was no reply.

Miss Lowell, please answer the phone.

Anna was almost frantic, unaware of the real reason behind Quinn Lockwood’s refusal of the endorsement but suspected it was due to the agency’s previous incompetence.

"Hmm? She didn’t answer?" Joyce Kramer’s face grew longer, her brow deeply furrowed, nearing her limit.

Forcefully squeezing a gracious smile, Anna cautiously persuaded: "Miss Kramer, Savannah is probably occupied with other notices; once she picks up, I’ll ensure she contacts you immediately."

"Does that work for you?"

Anna felt extremely pressured, not only needing to persuade Quinn Lockwood to shoot the advertisement but also fulfilling Manager Caldwell’s task of securing high-quality notices for her while accommodating Mr. Sinclair’s secretary.

If not for her strong ability to withstand pressure, she might have already collapsed.

"Okay." Joyce Kramer almost exploded with anger, coldly responded, picked up the documents, and left abruptly.

Her valuable time was wasted searching for Quinn Lockwood.

Joyce Kramer even suspected that Quinn Lockwood was deliberately teasing her alongside Anna.

Truthfully, Quinn Lockwood was intentional.

However, she wasn’t toying with Joyce Kramer, but deliberately avoiding Elias Sinclair.

Quinn Lockwood knew rejecting the endorsement would certainly provoke Elias Sinclair; it’s uncertain when he might seek her out personally at the agency.

As long as she avoided the office, she’d evade Elias Sinclair, thus escaping the endorsement situation.

Currently, Quinn Lockwood had to return to the office to retrieve the script for Quentin Woods’ film promotion.

Carrying documents, Joyce Kramer quickly exited the agency; upon stepping off the elevator and turning a corner, she bumped into someone coming the other way.
