The car was already at the front door waiting for them when Jeff called them. Ann wondered why Jeff seemed to know where they were going without asking her for any information. "Lea, did Jeff ask you for any information about this meeting?" Ann asked curiously.

"No, he didn't. I was wondering about that too." Lea replied.

When they were almost at their destination, Jeff received a call. "Sweetheart, I will drop you off first alright? Something came up that I need to handle first. I will be right back!" Ann just nodded unhappily.

Ann was disappointed, but she didn't show it to Jeff. She just smiled and told him goodbye. Before she was able to get out of the car, Jeff hugged her and kissed her. "Don't worry about anything; I will take care of everything, ok?" He whispered in her ear. As soon as they were out of the car, Jeff ordered Ronald to go.

Ann waited until the car was out of sight before she walked into the building. They were greeted by the guard, who seemed to remember Lea. "Welcome back!" He said with a smile, then ushered them in.

The receptionist was already informed by the upper management and knew that Ann and Lea were there to cancel the contract. She didn't even greet them. She just told Lea, "I'm sure you still remember the way!" She said it sarcastically, then looked at Ann and sneered.

They had not gone far when the receptionist told her colleague loudly, ''Who does she think she is?

She's just a pretty face. She's not even famous, and she's acting all high and mighty! Hrmmp!" Lea and Ann heard it but did not say anything and just kept on going.

Ann felt they had the right to criticize her because of the situation, but it still upset her. Lea, on the other hand, wanted to go back and curse them out. Ann was quick to stop her. "Forget it, ok! Let's get this over with."

They were met by an assistant, who after showing them to a meeting room left without saying a word. Ann was getting stressed and worried. 'Jeff, where are you? I need you right now! Please, come now!' She thought to herself.

They waited, and waited, and waited some more. She must have waited over an hour before the assistant showed up again, only to tell them that the general manager was still in a meeting, so they had to sit and wait. What else could they do, of course? They sat and waited.

Lea needed to go to the ladies room, so she asked the assistant for directions and went, leaving Ann by herself.

While Lea was gone, a young, beautiful lady and a gorgeous woman walked by, heading to the general manager's office. She just glanced a little and did not get a good view of their faces. 'They look like a mother and daughter pair.' Ann mumbled to herself.

Ann was entirely losing her patience. 'If the general manager doesn't show up anytime soon, they can kiss my ass goodbye. I will count to one hundred. If by the time I finish no one has shown up, I'm leaving." One, two, three...suddenly, the door opened, and the assistant and the general manager walked in.

"Miss Ann, I'm General Manager Lim. I believe you are here to break the contract. First, let me tell you how much the penalty for violating the contract is, which I'm pretty sure a C-list entertainer like you will never be able to afford in your whole life.

If not for your similarly with our famous spokesperson who recently retired, we would not have chosen you at all." The general manager informed her.

"Nevertheless, we will give you another chance to change your mind, or else you need to pay 10X of $$$$ as a penalty. Can you pay that?" The general manager asked Ann sarcastically.

Ann looked the general manager straight in his eyes. "I need to call someone first if you don't mind." She told him without blinking.

The general manager smirked first, then replied, "Go ahead. Call all the people that you can think.

Know that if you cannot pay this amount, even if you're the CEO's hidden mistress, you will still be in trouble! We'll sue you and ruin your career."

"Understood! It will be a quick phone call." Ann replied confidently.

Ann stepped aside and took out her phone, ready to call Jeff, when suddenly the door opened.
