Chapter 482
“Am I getting married, or are you getting married? I’m talking business with Ms. Thompson. It is rude of you to butt in.”
Ada glared at her agent. “I chose to work with Ms. Thompson
because I have the utmost trust in her. I’m glad to accept her
suggestions, so keep your thoughts to yourself.”
Once Bella and Ada signed a new agreement, Bella entrusted her
