Chapter 354: Chapter 354
"Sorry, Savannah, I’m really useless. I can’t help you with anything." Xenia Monroe felt very guilty, flipping through various books and case studies on media and entertainment industry management, yet still had no clue.
She really regretted not studying this field or understanding anything about the entertainment industry seriously.
"It’s okay, Sierra, don’t blame yourself. After all, I’m used to it. I’m just a bit frustrated and wanted to vent to you." Quinn Lockwood pursed her lips; she knew Xenia Monroe was genuinely doing her best to help her.
And she knew very well how difficult this matter was to resolve.
The reason she called Xenia Monroe over was partly to gain another perspective, but mostly because she really needed someone to vent to.
Seeing that she hadn’t even managed to help Quinn Lockwood, Xenia Monroe felt quite low. She lowered her gaze, biting her lip anxiously, and said hesitantly, "That... just because we can’t solve this doesn’t mean others can’t..."
"I think someone like Mr. Sinclair, such a smart and insightful person, would surely have a good way to handle this."
Hearing Xenia Monroe mention Elias Sinclair, Quinn Lockwood’s heart suddenly tightened, and she inexplicably began to feel nervous.
"He’s abroad now, probably doesn’t have time." Quinn Lockwood lowered her head, gripping the mouse a bit tightly.
She knew Elias Sinclair would definitely have a way to solve this.
But Quinn Lockwood didn’t want to trouble him at all.
After all, the topics trending online, true or false, were all bad stories and scandals about her.
If Elias Sinclair saw them, would he be disappointed, or would he think she’s not a pure and clean woman?
Quinn Lockwood didn’t dare think further.
She knew Elias Sinclair’s temperament and his attitude.
He would never tolerate his woman being close to another man in any way.
Quinn Lockwood’s face blushed instantly. When did she start considering herself belonging to Elias Sinclair?
"Savannah, what are you thinking so intently?" Latest content publıshed on novel•fire.net
"Why’s your face red? The air conditioner isn’t turned up high." Xenia Monroe noticed Quinn Lockwood was a bit lost, waved a hand in front of her face, and glanced at her flushed cheeks with some curiosity.
Quinn Lockwood blinked unnaturally and quickly snapped back to reality. She took a bite of the strawberry parfait on the table to cover up her unnatural demeanor.
"Of course I’m trying to think of a solution!" Quinn Lockwood put down the spoon and pretended to relax as she glanced out the window.
"Oh, just call your husband and ask him. Even if he’s abroad, how can he just ignore such a big issue with you?"
Xenia Monroe was a bit worried for Quinn Lockwood. It had been a night and most of the day since the incident first happened, yet they had no leads.
It’s just a simple call to check if Elias Sinclair has a solution. Xenia Monroe didn’t know why Quinn Lockwood was so resistant.
Quinn Lockwood hesitated, her lips pressed tightly, but eventually picked up the phone.
It’s just asking for advice; it’s not that difficult. Even if Elias Sinclair thinks less of her, she had never left a good impression on him anyway.
Quinn Lockwood took a deep breath, her fingertips turning pale from her grip, and dialed Elias Sinclair’s number, her hands trembling slightly.
However, after a few rings, the call was directly hung up.
Quinn Lockwood’s body instantly stiffened, feeling as if the blood in her veins had stopped flowing.
She gave a self-mocking smile, then put the phone away, a flicker of disappointment in her eyes.
"I told you, he’s quite busy." Quinn Lockwood shrugged, smiling at Xenia Monroe lightly, showing no signs of discomfort on her face.
Xenia Monroe sighed deeply, rolling her eyes slightly, mentally deducting ten points from Elias Sinclair.
Meanwhile, it was around six o’clock in the morning in Italica, and the meeting room of the branch office was already filled with high-level executives.
Joyce Kramer held Elias Sinclair’s phone, deftly entering the unlock code, then selected the call log and deleted Quinn Lockwood’s incoming call information.
She then returned Elias Sinclair’s phone to the storage box by the meeting room door, a satisfied smile curving her lips.
It seemed the task was already accomplished.
Joyce Kramer glanced around the room and, seeing no one noticed her, swiftly walked into the restroom, pulled out her phone, and sent a text to an unknown number: "Add more sensational news; the effect isn’t strong enough yet."
The other party replied almost instantly: "No problem."
Joyce Kramer looked at the text, then cleared the message drafts and inbox, her lips slightly arced, and her steps were gradually lighter as she walked out.
Meanwhile, back at Quinn Lockwood’s agency.
Evan Caldwell, fearing Elias Sinclair and The Lowell Family’s influence, locked himself in his office and crafted several detailed plans to bring Quinn Lockwood back.
Once the plans were finalized, Evan Caldwell fetched Anna and had her immediately bring Quinn Lockwood back for a face-to-face apology, even if it meant kneeling and begging her to return.
Anna didn’t waste any time. After much persuasion, she managed to bring Quinn Lockwood back to the company.
"What’s going on? Hurry up and say it." Quinn Lockwood was a bit impatient. She was planning to go home and brainstorm with Cameron Grant after talking with Xenia Monroe, but instead, Anna intercepted her.
She hadn’t wanted to come back, but as Anna blocked her car, causing disruption, Quinn Lockwood had no choice but to follow her back.
"Savannah, I’m sorry. I really shouldn’t have talked like that. It’s all my fault; I’m petty, I’m insincere..."
"I will definitely change. I beg you not to terminate the contract, please. I will be a good agent, and whatever you say, I won’t dare to oppose it."
Anna bowed deeply, tears streaming down as she pleaded for Quinn Lockwood’s forgiveness. Anyone seeing her pitiful and earnest demeanor wouldn’t have the heart to hold a grudge.
Quinn Lockwood leaned back on the sofa, her chin slightly raised to look at Anna, remaining silent.
Seeing that Quinn Lockwood wasn’t responding, Anna was at a loss and looked over at Evan Caldwell for help.
Evan Caldwell tightened his throat and glanced at Anna with some frustration, as if to say: "Useless!"
"Savannah, since you debuted, the company has always been by your side. Can you please forgive us for old times’ sake?"
Evan Caldwell took a few steps toward Quinn Lockwood, his tone cautious and humble, fearing he’d say something wrong.
