Chapter 87


    The voice on the other end was nothing but deferential


    "Hat You Hittle Tramp roping in some stooge to y along with your little art What''s the going rate for that These days? Or did you just scrape up some sleazy golo to fill in mocked Lydia venomously


    Asher face went stone cold on the other end. Someone insulted the Foster Groups princess? That was a one-way ticket to trouble


    Mies, did you run into some kind of mess over there? Need me toe over with backup? Asher was all


    business


    "No need for the cavalry, but there is something else you could help me with replied Evangeline calmly


    Asher braced himself for what might be aplicated request, but he was ready. "Miss, justy it on me. Even if it''s Foster Group business, I''m on it


    No, that''s not it. Remember how I axed that endorsement deal for the newbie, Julia, with ourpany? Ive heard that Gordon Group went behind my back and set her up with Brighton Media. Give them a ring and let them know I just don''t vibe with Julia Tell them to drop t "And while you''re at it, see if she''s got any other media gigs and nix those too. Oh, and my dad? The guy''s not even retired yet, but he''s already cashing in on his perision, living the high life. Have someone dig into that, will you?"This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "Don''t sweat it. It''s no biggie, miss I''ll get it sorted out in no time," Asher replied, relieved it was not something more serious that had him all worked up for nothing


    Evangeline''s face rxed as she ended the call


    Julia sneered, "Wow, you''re quite the actress, even phoning up Brighton Media. You do realize they''re owned by Gordon Group, right? Who do you think you are, trying to screw up my job?"


    "And you think you can just reach out to mypany? Do you even know who''s in charge there? You''re such a disappointment, always talking big" said Andrew, not buying a word of it


    James wiped down the table''s edge with a wet wipe, leaned back, and started fiddling with his phone With Evangeline having called Asher, he did not have to worry.


    No sooner had Julia finished her taunt than Brighton Media rang her up to cancel their coboration. On top of that, a home textilepany that had once courted her for endorsements also cut ties, all within few minutes


    She gazed at the text on her phone, rooted to the spot, whispering to herself repeatedly. "This can''t be happening, it just can''t


    Then there was Andrew, who not only got the boot from his job but was also being strong-armed into paying back the retirement dough he had over collected for years. If he did not cough it up, they would drag him into court Panic painted his face a sickly shade of purple Lydia, lounging at home with nothing to do, was clueless about the whole mess, However, one look at


    Julia and Andrew''s troubled faces, and she sniffed out trouble.


    Maybe Evangeline was onto something Lydia remembered that time when Evangeline showed up with a


    posse of bodyguards dressed in ck to kick someone out. She had thought it was all for show, but thinking back about it, that was quite the spectacle.
