No one had expected Sam to walk away from it all, so when he did, it shocked everyone, including Shandie.
Even though he knew how big and profitable the movie would be, Sam refused to betray his principles for money.
It was no wonder he had a reputation for being tenacious and unrelenting.
Jerry had a moment of panic but soon regained his composure as he smiled at Shandie. “Please wait here. Let me persuade the director.”
Watching Sam leave had honestly terrified Shandie because unbeknownst to the people present, everything that she said had been a lie.
Even Vinson's name card was a stolen item.
Nevertheless, Shandie coughed in response, determined to carry on with her act. “Very well. I'll wait for you.”
Jerry finally caught up with Sam and tried, once again, to talk him out of quitting the movie.
Thankfully, he seemed to have changed his mind but still hoped to speak with Vinson to explain the situation.
“I've met Mr. Nightshire a couple of times, enough to know that he isn't an unreasonable man. I don't want to put you in a spot either, Jerry, so get me his number, and I'll talk to him myself.”
Oh gosh, I'm just a producer. Why would I have the number of a prominent figure like Vinson Nightshire? Jerry was starting to panic again when he remembered Shandie's card with
Vinson's number on it. “Okay. I'll be right back
with the number!”
After running back to the stage, Jerry approached Shandie and asked politely, “Miss, could you give Mr. Nightshire a call? Mr. Sleight would like to speak with him.”
Shandie became flustered at that sudden request. One call to Vinson was all it needed to expose her lies, and that was something she couldn't allow to happen.
The wheels in Shandie's mind started turning as she thought of an idea.
Vinson had no reason to help Shandie, but it would be a different story with Arielle. After all, Arielle had helped him before, and he owed her a favor.
