Ariana said.

“Besides, we can't focus our energy on shipping them. The most important thing is getting the program team to apologize, and promise they won't edit Sarah's scenes so randomly again."

Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang. It was an unknown number.

She stood up and went out onto the balcony to answer the call.

“Hello, Ms. Edwards. I'm Jerome Holmes, the new director of the variety show." A young man's voice introduced himself from the other end of the line.

“What happened to Josh?" Ariana asked curiously.

“He has been fired," Jerome said matter-of-factly.

Ariana's eyes widened. How could Josh get fired when he had Jasper's protection?

Jerome sensed Ariana's shock and explained, “The senior leaders of our TV station found out about the matter with Sarah. This isn't the first time Josh has done something wrong. Besides, public opinion has a huge impact on the company this time, so after a lot of consideration, they decided to terminate the contract with Josh."

“I see," Ariana said, still trying to figure it out.

“So, when are you free to come in and talk about a solution? We are going to release the complete version of Sarah's interview and her performance later." Jerome seemed to have a much better attitude than Josh. He spoke with a polite tone, as he continued, “We did handle this matter wrongly. The contract will be adjusted to demonstrate our apology. I hope you will be willing to cooperate with us when we send out the clarification on the official account later."

Hearing this gave Ariana a real sense of satisfaction. He had shown his sincerity, so there was no reason to argue.

“Of course. I'll text you a time when we can meet," Ariana said, smiling into the phone.

“Okay, thank you, Ms. Edwards."

Once they had agreed, Jerome changed the subject.

"By the way, Josh wasn't just fired. He was arrested too."

“Why?"

This came as a shock to Ariana. Had Josh done other bad things?

Someone must have reported him. Who could that be?

"I don't know all the details. We can discuss it further when I know more."
