Amanda had just joined up with Bette when she got a call from Jane, ringing off several times, so she had no choice but to pick up.
“Amanda, I have good news for you, I’m pregnant.”
Amanda looked startled, then spoke sarcastically, “Why do you tell me about this? Is it mine?”
Jane choked on her words and said exasperated, “It’s George’s!”
“Well, fine, no wonder George wanted me to take your vacancy for the endorsement, get well, the baby is so important.”
Without waiting for a response, Amanda hung up the phone. How stupid Jane was to tell her the news. An idiot.
The mere fact that the father of the child was George should have covered her to death, not to mention being unwed and pregnant.
Amanda was surprised to be told in a dignified manner, and she thought that Jane’s brain may be caught in a door.
Turning to Bette, Amanda said, “Jane says she’s pregnant, you go to check that. If it’s really true, reveal it to the press.”
Bette got the point almost immediately, “Jane is an idiot. Is it worth showing off to you? Wait! I’m going to find some people I know and give her some bad press!”
“Don’t leave a trail.”
Amanda knew she couldn’t bring George and Jane down with this one incident but still wanted to take this opportunity to hit Jane’s popularity and expose George’s character along the way.
If she really wanted to revenge on these two people, there would be plenty of opportunities!
In the afternoon, Amanda and Bette went straight to their appointment with the partners.
It wasn’t long before George came over with a couple of guys and gave her a wink.
Amanda just ignored it and greeted the collaborator with enthusiasm and politeness.
“May I ask why Miss Jane isn’t here? As promised, it should be her as our spokesperson.” A blond-haired, blue-eyed man asked.
Without waiting for George to speak, Amanda spoke up, “Jane was unable to participate in this collaboration for some reason, but I don’t think I’m any worse than her.”
“You are cheating, I think I should reconsider my partnership with your company.”
George panicked at the attitude of his partner and glared at Amanda again, but Amanda snapped just before he started to speak.
“Jane is just a recently rising star, and although I’ve been on hiatus for three years, with my international influence, I’m sure I’m no worse than her for promoting products.”
“Miss, may I ask who you are?” The blonde-haired man came interested.
“Amanda.”
As soon as she spoke, they took out a computer and started searching and occasionally discussing something with someone on the side.
Finally, a man held out his hand to her, “Amanda, I’m looking forward to working with you.”
“It’s my pleasure.” Amanda reached out and returned the handshake, her equanimity add to the other’s satisfaction
After the investor left, George slapped the table and yelled at her, “What’s wrong with you? I asked you to talk for Jane, not to take it!”
“George, you seem to have forgotten one thing.” Amanda spoke up slowly, “By the way, I’m a senior member of the company. It’s just an endorsement. Is it worth being so angry?”
Amanda’s eyes were sharp, “Or are you just trying to impress Jane?”
George frowned, Amanda was right, she had fought for most of the company’s resources after all.
Moreover, he also needed her to do some other things in the future. If he was disgusted by her, it would not be worth the loss.
“Okay, you have to get this endorsement right for me.” George’s face was shifty at the moment.
“Definitely, remember to call me up again if there’s such a good thing in the future.” Amanda smiled after saying that and left.
