The phone stopped vibrating and Horace continued with his report.

A little absent-minded, Theodore wasn't really Listening to what

Horace was saying. He tapped the desk more and more rapidly. His impatience was obvious.

Horace had noticed this. He was just wondering how long Theodore would last. Maybe the next call?

Theodore fiddled with the pen in his hand, his eyes fixed on the phone which was vibrating again.

It was obvious that Theodore really wanted to answer the phone but had to stay arrogant. Horace found this charade very amusing.

Five seconds later, Theodore finally picked up the phone.

Although his expression didn't change, it was obvious he was anxious.

Horace snickered.

"What's the matter?" Theodore asked abruptly, his tone cold.

Ariana hesitated before answering, "I'm in trouble."

Theodore frowned. He stayed silent for a few seconds and then asked, "Was there something wrong with the program recording?"

He tried to keep his tone softer.

At the mention of this, Horace opened his phone to check the trending topics and showed Theodore.

After a quick glance, Theodore knew what had happened. He also knew that Ariana was in a very helpless position.

But he was still unhappy with her for waiting so long to call.

“I really have no choice. Could you help me this time?"

Her voice was low and hoarse. Theodore could picture her, looking dejected, her shoulders drooping.

He snorted gently and asked in a calm tone, “How do you want me to help you?"

“I was hoping you could ask $J Entertainment to stand up for Sarah and get the program team to post the full video of her performance," she said in a soft tone with expectation.
