“What’s with your attitude…” Holly was once again infuriated and about to lose her temper, but Shannon quickly held her back, saying, “Holly, calm down! Ranita didn’t mean it!”
“We’ll be shooting in a couple of days, so see you then!”
Upon hearing this, Holly raised an eyebrow at Ranita and said, “Just you wait!”
After seeing them off, Olivia frowned and said, “Are they plotting something malicious?”
Ranita smiled and replied, “Didn’t you say we’re the ones in charge? Let them be! We’ll deal with it when the time comes!”
“But what if Holly messes up during the shoot and causes trouble for us?” Olivia expressed her concerns. She still remembered how crazy Holly was a few years ago, which caused a lot of trouble for Ranita. She didn’t want the same thing to happen again.
“Don’t worry! Monolith Technology is not our small studio anymore!” Ranita paused and added, “There’s no point in worrying now. We’ll handle whatever comes our way!”
Seeing that there was still time and nothing else to do, Ranita smiled at Olivia and said, “Olivia, let me take you somewhere.”
“Huh? Where are we going?”
“We’re going to pick up something good!” Ranita planned to take a trip to the auction house while she had the time. Since Brendon had given the emerald jewelry to Ayaan’s future wife, she would gladly accept it!
As soon as they got in the car, Holly complained, “Shannon, you’re being too polite. If it were me, I would have…”
“Holly, why are you always so impulsive?” Shannon reassured her. “We’re discussing a contract here, and if it doesn’t go well, it could affect my career.”
Shannon forced a fake smile and said, “Chole is my friend, and I’m actually happy that she wants to collaborate. Business is business, and personal matters are separate. I can distinguish between the two.”
“Shannon, you’re just too good! That’s why Ranita takes advantage of you!” Holly pouted and asked, “By the way, is it true that my brother went back to the hospital? Is he feeling unwell?”
“Yeah, he said he’s still feeling a bit uncomfortable, so the doctor advised him to stay a few more days.”
“How about we go visit my brother later and also get the pick-up receipt for the emerald jewelry?” Holly clapped her hands excitedly. “Shannon, my mom said that set of emerald jewelry is incredibly rare. It looks especially elegant on fair skin like yours. If you don’t like wearing it, you can keep it as a collection!”
Shannon was also tempted by the praise but blushed and said, “Brendon is in the hospital, so it might not be appropriate for us to go and pick it up.”
“What’s inappropriate about it? He bought it for you in the first place!” Holly said matter-of-factly. Then, something crossed her mind, and she burst into laughter, “Shannon, I’m so happy just thinking about Ranita not getting her hands on that emerald jewelry with her ugly boyfriend!”
“She should take a good look in the mirror. With her appearance, she doesn’t deserve to wear such a beautiful piece!” After trampling on Ranita, Holly shifted her attention to praising Shannon. “Shannon, in my opinion, such precious jewelry should only grace your neck!”
“Once we have it, you should wear it and flaunt it in front of Ranita. We’ll drive her crazy!” Holly kept talking excitedly, imagining many delightful scenarios. “Let’s go to the hospital and find my brother now…”
Just then, Shannon’s phone rang, and she quickly answered the call. Within moments, her expression changed.
