Heartstrings on Fire Chapter 272

Chapter 272 

Agnes hesitated for a bit but eventually said, “Alright, I’ll take the endorsement.” 

Ivan chuckled, “Wow, that was a quick change of heart.” 

Agnes gave a candid laugh, “Hey, who ever said no to more money, right?” 

Ivan chuckled heartily, “Jared’s loaded, you’re still worried about a bit of cash?” 

“His money is his, mine is mine. Two different things.” 

Agnes said: “If there’s nothing else, I have to get back to work.” 

“Go ahead.” 

Agnes left the CEO’s office. From start to finish, Ivan hadn’t mentioned her feud with Mamie. 

Agnes felt that Ivan had never shown any bias towards either of them. She was grateful for that. 

Agnes headed to the photography studio. 

After two hours of shooting, she was beat. 

As as she was leaving the studio, she ran into Mamie. 

Mamie blocked Agnes, “Agnes, you’re so cunning, snatching my endorsement while I’m away. How could you do something so low?” 

Agnes frowned, “When have I ever snatched your endorsement?” 

Emily reminded her, “Agnes, Mamie has been the face of QN Jewelry for a while now.” 

Mamie said arrogantly, “Stop playing dumb! Agnes, you’re new and you’re trying to take my place? I’ll show you what happens when you get too cocky” 

They stood at the entrance of the studio, with people coming and going. 

Seeing this “spectacle”, everyone stopped to stare, some even sneaked out their phones to take pictures. 

At that moment, Ivan arrived. He asked Mamie in displeasure, “When were you discharged? Why didn’t you tell me?” 

Mamie ignored his question and instead asked straight away, “Why did you give her the endorsement that was supposed to be mine? I’m fine with Mr. Bartley supporting new talents, but I won’t stand being the price for it.” 

Ivan responded professionally. “Your contract with QN Jewelry ended this year. They specifically asked for Agnes. Her aura fits the style of QN Jewelry’s new collection. Agnes has nothing to do with it, it was my arrangement.” 

Seeing Ivan defend Agnes, Mamie was fuming. She said to Ivan, “Century Entertainment can only accommodate one of us. Mr. Bartley, if you insist on keeping her then I’ll leave Century Entertainment.” 

Ivan seemed angry as well, “Mamie, do you realize what you’re saying?” 

“Ivan, do you really know what you’re doing? Why are you treating me like this for a stranger? What’s so appealing about Agnes that everyone treats her so well? No matter what, Agnes and I are like oil and water! You have to make a choice now.” 

Ivan frowned. 

A crowd had gathered around them, waiting to see how this drama would end. 

What will Ivan choose? One was his own sister, the other a new talent the company was heavily promoting. No matter who he chose, there will be losses. 

Agnes stepped forward “Mamie, Ivan is your brother, there’s no need to put him in a difficult position. Let’s do this, since both of us are nominated for Best Actress, let’s make the SH Gala next week the stake. If you win, I’ll quit showbiz, if I win, you quit. Dare you take the bet?” 

When Agnes spilled those beans, everyone freaked out.
