Chapter 1439:
“If you really care about the company, then go back and practice the song properly,” Annabel teased. “I don’t want to see ‘Rory Out of Tune’ trending online tomorrow p>
Rory smiled helplessly. He lingered for a moment, looking at her, then turned and left.
Annabel couldn’t stop thinking about Margo’s situation. She contacted Sherman, but to her surprise, the director didn’t give a final answer. Instead, he asked to meet Margo in person.
Annabel agreed. After setting an appointment with Sherman, she informed Margo.
Margo had just finished filming an advertisement as a spokesperson and was touching up her makeup in the dressing room when Annabel’s call came in.
“What did you say?” Margo sprang to her feet, startling the staff nearby. “Director Gordon wants to see me in person p>
She stuck out her tongue at them and gave an awkward smile before sinking back into the chair. She lowered her voice, but the excitement was impossible to hide. “Really p>
“Of course. I’d never lie to you,” Annabel said, smiling helplessly.
“When and where does he want to meet?” Margo asked immediately.
“Tonight. I’ll send the time and address to your agent. You can go straight there after work p>
“Am I the only one seeing him?” Margo asked, blinking.
“Of course not. I’ll go with you,” Annabel replied.
Relieved, Margo sniffled and pressed a hand to her chest. “What should I do? Just thinking about meeting Director Sherman Gordon makes me nervous p>
Hearing that, Annabel let out a soft chuckle.
At the same time, someone knocked on her door.
“Come in, please,” Annabel said, watching as her assistant stepped inside with a faint air of unease.

Annabel frowned slightly. “What’s the matter p>
“Ms. Hewitt, there’s a call for you,” the assistant said softly.
“Put it through. Who is it p>
“Omar Jenkins p>
The name made Annabel, who had been focused on her work, snap her head up. “Omar Jenkins? The person calling me is Omar Jenkins?” she repeated, as if she didn’t trust her own ears.
The assistant nodded, confirming it.
A wave of confusion washed over Annabel. Why would Omar be calling her now? Still, she signaled for the call to be transferred. She didn’t speak right away, choosing to wait for the other party to break the silence.
It seemed Omar had the same idea. After a long pause, he finally spoke. “It’s been a while, Miss Hewitt p>
Annabel knitted her brows, her expression cool and unreadable. “What do you want, Mr. Jenkins p>
“Don’t be so cold. You can call me Omar,” he replied, an unmistakable smile in his voice. It unsettled her. She had no desire to deal with this inscrutable man any longer.
