But Donna was quick to retort, “And as the director, I have the right to veto him."

Ariana let out a sharp laugh.

"I'll sign the contract with Tyler no matter what you say. | won't let you stand in his way.”

Ariana gazed into Tyler's eyes with a fierce determination.

"Don't be afraid. Trust me and sign your name. I am your agent, and I know what's best for you."

“How dare you! You don't take me seriously, Ariana! You've overstepped your boundaries!" Donna exclaimed as she lunged toward Tyler, trying to stop him from signing the contract.

"I don't agree to this arrangement. It won't matter even if he signs it!"

But before anyone could utter another word, a chilling voice cut through the tension. in the room.

“Why didn't I know that the Anderson Group now let a department director take charge of everything?"

All heads turned toward the source of the voice, their faces stunned with surprise.

The sound of the wheelchair getting closer only added to the tense atmosphere, as ‘Theodore pushed the door open with a fierce look in his eyes.

As Donna recognized him, her breath hitched. There he was, the notorious eldest son of the Anderson family.

Her legs felt weak as she tried to steady herself.

Theodore's arrival was not unexpected. She had heard rumors that he would attend the general shareholders’ meeting on the top floor of the Anderson Group's headquarters that day. The headquarters were right next to the office building of SJ Entertainment.

But little did she know that he would show up at that precise moment, catching her in the act of speaking ill-advised words.

Donna's expression shifted from fear to a smile that was too sweet to be genuine.

“Please forgive my impertinence, Mr. Theodore Anderson. My inexperienced agent here didn't fully comprehend the proper protocol before signing a new artist, nor did she get the company's approval beforehand."

Ariana's face twisted in frustration.

"But you told me yesterday that I could handle it on my own."

Donna's smile faltered, replaced by an irritated frown.
