These were the same exact words Gina had said to Donald and the others just moments ago. Now, however, the tables had turned.
Roman was taken aback by Gina's unwavering determination, willing to risk potential future losses for Dynasty Studios just to drive them out.
He simply couldn't fathom what was going on in Gina's mind.
They're going to lose both profits and dignity. Isn't this a lose-lose situation?
Mario, on the other hand, could tell that Donald was no ordinary person. Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible that someone like Teagan would be at Donald's beck and call.
He stood up with a smile and said to Gina, “What are you talking about, Ms. Gina? We only came here with our crew because we heard that there happened to be available space here. Now that you have other plans, we're more than willing to cooperate.”
He then turned to Roman. “Roman, please inform the production assistant to pack up our stuff as soon as possible, and make sure nothing is left behind. Also, remember to clean up before leaving. We don't want to cause Ms. Gina any trouble.”
“Yes, Mr. Cousteau.”
It was no wonder Mario had become a renowned director.
That statement of his was flawlessly watertight, completely transforming his act of throwing his weight around into a narrative of simply responding to the news of available space here, which led him to bring his team over.
Such a statement not only provided a way out for both parties but also subtly informed Gina that they would cooperate and vacate this venue without any intention of overstaying their welcome.
What was the meaning of the word “honorable?”
This was a textbook example.
Even Donald, who had initially thought he wouldn't mind teaching Mario a harsh lesson if he didn't know his place, couldn't find any fault with what Mario had just said.
Watching his subordinates pack up their things, Mario walked over to Donald and handed him his business card.
“Mr. Campbell, I was in the middle of filming earlier and didn't get a chance to properly introduce myself. Here is my business card. Please do accept it,” he said.
