Chapter 38
“You can handle these things yourself. From now on, you don’t need to report
these things to me either. If you need money, just get in touch with Cameron.”
Sean kept his response brief. “Just make sure she’s never in any danger.”
Sabrina acknowledged Sean’s instructions before ending the call. Her gaze
was complicated as she eyed Joan who was sitting on the side toying with
her bracelet.
A smile danced across Joan’s l*ps as she said with an expectant look in her
eyes, “What did he say?”
“He said yes. I’ll just need to make the arrangements with East Joy Talent.”
Kevin and Sean were good friends, so naturally, the former would agree to it
for the latter’s sake.
Nevertheless, Sabrina got the feeling that Sean’s tone had been a little
indifferent earlier. She didn’t know if she had been mistaken.
Since Sean instructed Sabrina to handle Joan’s career decisions herself, she
would do as she saw fit.
“I told you! I knew he would definitely say yes!” Joan smirked proudly as she
nestled back into her seat and passed Sabrina a fresh cup of tea. “I’ll be in
your care, Ms. Sabrina.”
“You seem to have a pretty good relationship with Mr. Graham.” Sabrina set
her phone aside and drank a sip of tea as she made the casual remark in an
attempt to glean more information.
She had done her research before agreeing to become Joah’s manager.
Everyone said that Joan was Sean’s first love. She wouldn’t have left her
original company to work with a newcomer if it hadn’t been for that.
After all, Graham International was one of the top businesses in the state. The
company was known all over the country, so it felt like a no-lose situation for
her if she became the manager of the future wife of Graham International’s
president.
“Yeah. We have a pretty good relationship,” Joan agreed with a bashful smile,
though her fingers, which were hidden under the table, were gripping her
phone so tightly that her knuckles went white. “But, as you know, it’s not easy
to marry someone from a family like that.”
Oh. That means his family doesn’t approve of their relationship, but the two of
them are committed to each other anyway. Well, as long as Sean loves Joan,
sooner or later, they’ll end up getting married.
Sabrina felt a lot more assured now. She calmly eyed Joan and said, “You’ve
been in the industry for some time now. I’m sure you know what things are
like. Fame and the best filming projects mostly end up in the hands of
celebrities who come from a prominent background or have someone
supporting them.”
She paused for a moment. Afraid that Joan did not get her point, she added,
“Graham International dabbles in many different markets. It wields a lot of
influence even in the entertainment industry. If you’re able to make the most
out of the advantages you have… It’ll only be a matter of time before you
become a top celebrity.”
Joan would be a fool if she didn’t make use of Sean, the best possible
resource there was.
Joan’s eyes flashed. She reached into her Hermes bag and took out an
exquisite box. Then, she set it down on the table and slowly slid it over to
Sabrina. “Seanie gave me this watch a few days ago, but I thought it didn’t
suit my style. However, it does match your outfit today. Why don’t you take a
look and see if you like it?”
Sabrina’s eyes lit up when she saw the Rolex logo on the box. She considered
rejecting the gift, but on second thought, she figured it wasn’t necessary.
By doing so, Joan wanted to let Sabrina know that the two of them were tied
together now.
Therefore, she graciously opened the box. A diamond-studded watch
appeared before her eyes. It had a beautifully-carved dial that was inlaid
with a circle of shiny gold. The watch glistened under the light.
She recognized it. It was a limited-edition model that cost 150 thousand.
Seeing as how Joan was able to hand out a watch that cost 150 thousand as
a gesture of goodwill, Sabrina became even more convinced about how
important Joan was to Sean.
Her smile became visibly warmer. “Don’t worry. I can’t guarantee that you’ll be
the celebrity with the most acclaim in this industry, but with me around,
becoming famous won’t be a problem at all.”
