Shawn said angrily, "Hey!"
He hadn't agreed yet!
Amelia stared at him and said, "The soda or the boiled water, Mr. Haward, choose it yourself."
Shawn paused and then compromised, "Boiled water..."
Shawn knew that Amelia was not deliberately against him, but just stating an objective fact. Since there was no grapefruit juice, if he kept venting his anger, he would only leave a bad impression on Patrick, which would make him lose more than gain.
Hearing that, the secretary smiled happily and said, "I'll serve you boiled water right now!"
"Please sit down." Seeing Amelia and Shawn talking with each other, Patrick was annoyed. He lit a cigarette casually and sucked on it hard.
After reading the contract, Shawn glanced at Patrick. It was said that Patrick was so rich, and the salary he offered was so considerable indeed.
"Mr. Haward, if you have any request, just tell me." Patrick's voice was mature and steady. Compared with him, Shawn was like a little boy who was playing basketball on the playground.
Even Shawn himself felt embarrassed for his childish quarrel with Amelia. He put down the contract and took the pen from the secretary, "I have no problem."
"But I have something to say." Patrick raised his hand and stopped Shawn from signing his name, "During the shooting, we don't have any grapefruit juice for you. If you want to drink it, remember to prepare it yourself."
Shawn felt a little angry. After he became famous, he had been favored by all the companies. Everyone was polite to him, but Patrick made him so embarrassed!
However, he couldn't afford to offend Patrick. No matter how unhappy he was, he could only endure it.
After Shawn signed his name on the contract, Milton said to Patrick, "We will inform you after we decide the specific shooting place and date. Is that okay?"
Patrick nodded in agreement.
Milton stood up and said, "Then we'll leave now."
Patrick said to the secretary without any emotion, "See them off."
From the beginning to the end, Patrick did not stand up. When Shawn passed by him, he felt that he had been despised.
Shawn was young and easy to get angry. When he took the things handed over by Amelia, he pulled her arm with great strength, and the things all fell to the ground.
Those things were all expensive. Just a pair of gucci sunglasses cost tens of thousands of dollars. Amelia squatted down to pick them up in a hurry. Fortunately, they were not broken.
"I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to it just now." She explained to Shawn apologetically.
Shawn glanced at sunglasses in Amelia's hand coldly and didn't reach out to take it, "I don't want these things anymore. Throw them away."
Amelia was puzzled and asked, "Why?"
"Because they're dirty."
After saying that, Shawn walked past Amelia ruthlessly and left arrogantly.
"Since I can't lose temper in front of Patrick, I can bully his staff." Shawn thought.
Unexpectedly, what he had done to Amelia made him suffer a lot in the following shooting process.
Milton took pity on Amelia when he saw how arrogant Shawn was. He was so angry that he almost wanted to stop the cooperation with Shawn!
