Chapter 82: Chapter 82

Quinn Lockwood stood in the center of the studio, with the lights focused on a prop tree off to the side.

The dappled light and shadow cast on her face created a fresh and ethereal feeling that was simply captivating.

"Hold the fan with both hands, and tilt your head a little." The photographer nodded as he looked at Quinn Lockwood’s appearance and said, "Yes, that’s it. This feeling is perfect."

The camera focused, capturing the girl’s figure within the frame. Clad in a simple dress, her silhouette appeared graceful and slender, like an ethereal fairy, making it hard for anyone to look directly at her beauty.

"Turn sideways, cover your face slightly, and let your eyes show a bit more emptiness."

"Great, let’s take one more shot with a classical dance posture. Pay attention to the charm." The photographer nodded once more, having previously thought she was an uninspired actress who would require considerable guidance.

Unexpectedly, she needed no further directions and understood the essence on her own.

Quinn Lockwood struck a pose, offering the camera a confident yet composed smile, her gaze intense and fixating on the lens, exuding elegance and grandeur.

"That’s exactly the feeling! Good, we’re done."

The photographer reviewed the photos just taken and smiled with satisfaction, glancing at the director beside him, "No need for another appointment, these shots are more than sufficient."

The Dynasty Style’s director nodded in approval, having observed Quinn Lockwood’s performance in its entirety.

Truly impressive, it seemed their decision this time was indeed correct.

Anna patted Quinn Lockwood on the shoulder, clearly impressed.

"There’s no one like you." Looks like there is a real need to carefully plan Quinn Lockwood’s schedule ahead.

If things continue this way, Quinn Lockwood might explode in popularity, and with more endorsements, her value would also increase, leading them to decide to heavily promote her.

After sending off the Dynasty Style Company people, Anna gave a few more instructions to Quinn Lockwood.

"Being featured on the cover of Dynasty Style Magazine this time is a really great opportunity for us," Anna glanced sideways, indicating to the assistant to help Quinn Lockwood remove the accessories she was wearing.

With a smile, she continued, "I knew our Savannah would be fine. If you really get big, won’t the company’s revenue just multiply and multiply, haha."

"Don’t worry, I won’t let the company lose money." Quinn Lockwood found Anna’s words to be quite grating; if not for her being able to bring in profit for the company, Anna wouldn’t be flattering her .

"Ah, what are you saying, pish posh, there’s no need to talk about losing money!" Anna covered her nose, quickly making a few dismissive gestures and continued to flatter, "Hungry, Savannah? I’ll get you some takeout right now. What would you like to eat today?"

Quinn Lockwood couldn’t help but frown, finding Anna’s insincere face extremely uncomfortable.

"You decide." With that, she ignored Anna who was all smiles and closed her eyes, letting the assistant fix her hair.

Later, she had to hurry to the set for the next scene. Fortunately, there were no major scenes today, and if things went smoothly, she’d finish quickly.

She glanced at her watch; it was already past two. Having left in the morning without time for breakfast, she was really hungry now.

Meanwhile, Elias Sinclair finished his outside business and returned to his office.

"Are there any documents that need handling?" Elias Sinclair sat in the executive chair, turned on his computer, and checked for any new emails that hadn’t been processed yet.

"There’s nothing that needs your attention, President Sinclair," Joyce Kramer replied, standing to the side.

She saw Elias Sinclair checking his emails, and her heart couldn’t help but tighten.

Immediately she reassured herself, it’s just signing a document, there’s nothing to worry about.

Hmm? A renewal contract! Didn’t they say there were no documents to handle?

He clicked on the email, it was a renewal contract sent over by Quinn Lockwood’s company.

"Is that your signature?" Elias Sinclair asked coldly with a stern face.

Joyce Kramer trembled, but maintained a composed façade, answering, "Yes, President Sinclair."

The man’s sharp eyes narrowed slightly, his cold face bearing a hint of menace.

Joyce Kramer paused, clearly sensing an overpowering, chilling aura emanating from him.

It’s just signing a renewal contract, is it necessary to get so upset?

"Who authorized you to take matters into your own hands?" Elias Sinclair slowly raised his head, his icy gaze fixed on her, exuding a slight aura of dominance.

It rendered her unable to meet his eyes, leaving her with nothing but to maintain a façade of composure.

"President Sinclair, I..." Joyce Kramer bit her lip, just about to explain when she was interrupted.

"You’ve been with me long enough to know which matters you shouldn’t involve yourself in?" He averted his eyes, his voice crisp and clear as a spring, uninterested in hearing any of Joyce Kramer’s excuses. She dared to make decisions without his instructions; she was too bold.

Looking at the high and aloof, coldly unattainable man, Joyce Kramer felt utterly aggrieved.

Having worked with him for so long, she had never made a mistake at work and had never seen Elias Sinclair this angry at her.

"Signing a renewal contract without my consent." His face as cold and dark as a storm, he pursed his thin lips before slowly speaking, "Leave, right now!"

"I..." Joyce Kramer didn’t expect President Sinclair to drive her out, hurriedly explaining, "You’ve got it wrong, I didn’t..."

"Leave!" His voice carried a thick impatience, his gaze growing colder.

Overwhelmed by a immense sense of loss and sorrow, Joyce Kramer felt suffocated, holding back tears as she dragged her stiff legs out of the office.

Stepping out of Elias Sinclair’s office, she suddenly leaned against the wall for support, as if all her strength had been drained, tears falling unbidden. Chapters fırst released on novel※fire.net

Quinn Lockwood, anything related to her, President Sinclair becomes different.

If not for her, why would President Sinclair drive her out? Why does he care so much about her matters!

Thinking this, Joyce Kramer felt her anger almost driving her mad, standing straight and clenching her fists tightly.

Her eyes shot out a piercing cold light, utterly devoid of the usual gentleness and meekness.

Anyway, the renewal is signed, as long as President Sinclair grows to dislike Quinn Lockwood more and more, today’s ordeal wouldn’t have been for nothing.

Straightening her clothes, Joyce Kramer then headed towards the work area.

"What did you say? Renewed with The Sinclair Group again?" Hearing this news, Quinn Lockwood was really going to lose it.

What is Elias Sinclair thinking? Isn’t he supposed to dislike her, wanting her as far from him as possible? Then why renew the contract?

"Yes, we’ve received the latest contract. Mr. Sinclair’s side has already approved it." Anna thought Quinn Lockwood didn’t believe her, adding, "I just sent over the renewal contract, and not long after, got the documents from The Sinclair Group. Very efficient!"

Quinn Lockwood took a deep breath, feeling on the brink of madness!

No, she definitely needed to find Elias Sinclair and get to the bottom of this.
