It was a tough choice. Ariana wanted the best for Sarah, so she picked out a few relatively better offers and decided to discuss them with Sarah tomorrow.

The following morning, Ariana was discussing with Sarah when she received a call from Josh.

She was surprised but curious to know why he was calling.

"Good morning, Ariana. Please can I know Sarah's schedule?" Josh uttered in a cautious tone as soon as the line connected.

Before she could say anything, he continued, “I'm sorry about what happened yesterday. It was a terrible mistake on my part.

We can continue the cooperation. Is Sarah still willing to be on the variety show? If she doesn't mind, we can sign the contract immediately."

Ariana's heart flustered with joy and astonishment. However, something just didn't add up. She became calm and thought hard about the whole thing. It was what she had wanted, but she didn't accept it immediately. She just said euphemistically, "I'd have to discuss this with Sarah first. I'll contact you once we have decided."

“That works, but how about I bring the contract to you later? We should discuss face to face and iron out whatever problems. As you know, the shooting will start soon. We need to settle all the necessary things as soon as possible."

It was even more surprising that Josh was in such a hurry to get the contract signed. Wasn't he the same person who stood them up yesterday? Anyway, Ariana said hesitantly, “Okay, let's meet up later."

But Josh arrived at the company in less than ten minutes.

Ariana wondered whether he teleported or was already waiting outside while they spoke on the phone.

Josh seemed like a completely different person. Unlike yesterday, he smiled at them brightly and praised Sarah to no end.

“Sarah, you are the most talented singer of this generation. None of the other singers come close to you. This show will be a stepping stone for you. You will take the world by storm, trust me!"

Ariana and Sarah couldn't help but exchange confused looks.

“Please go through the contract. If you aren't satisfied with any of the clauses, just point them out. I will get them adjusted immediately. If everything sits right with you, please append your signature to it. I'd be glad if you can give us another chance, Ms. Flynn," Josh added sincerely.

Ariana had been silent for a long time. After looking through the contract, she asked, “Don't you need to tell Mr. Jasper Anderson about this?"

“No. There's no need for that. Don't worry about him. He doesn't have a say in this matter," Josh Laughed and said disapprovingly as if he didn't give a damn about Jasper.

Ariana looked through the contract again and again. Everything was just right. Even the signing fee was far beyond Sarah's current status.

There was no denying that it was a juicy offer. Ariana didn't want Sarah to miss out on this opportunity despite the circumstances.
