Chapter 73: Give Me Five Minutes
"Yes," Jane nodded resolutely.
"As Pansy Group''s spokesperson, upholding strong moral standards is of utmost importance. We
would never consider keeping someone with such poor ethical values as our spokesperson.
Therefore, on behalf of Pansy Group, I hereby dere the termination of our contract with you."
Annie looked at Bruce with pleading eyes, knowing he was herst hope. "Honey, please say
something. You know how much I''ve dreamed of being Pansy Group''s spokesperson. You promised
me. Please keep your word."
Realizing that Bruce was her only ally, Annie''s hope rested on his response.
However, witnessing Annie''s remorseless demeanor, Bruce''s disappointment was palpable. He
replied somberly, "I gave you a chance, but your actions were disgraceful. You must face the
consequences. I can''t help you."
Bruce turned and walked out of the studio, wanting nothing more to do with Annie.
"Wait for me, honey!" Annie rushed to catch up with Bruce, but Jane intercepted her.

"Annie, don''t you think you owe me an apology for what just happened?"
"Apologize? To you?" Annie''s rage red, her fists clenched. She couldn''t believe that Jane
expected her to apologize after causing her public humiliation. No way!
Just as Annie was about to respond, two stern voices, one belonging to Patrick and the other to
Osborn, rang out in unison, "Apologize to Jane!"
Annie''s expression shifted as she wondered why everyone seemed to be defending Jane and not
her. She had already alienated Bruce, and she couldn''t afford to antagonize Patrick and Osborn too.
Annie turned to Jane and, through gritted teeth, reluctantly muttered, "I''m sorry. Can I leave now?"
But Jane remained unmoved. "Please take off the dress."
Annie shot her a venomous re before trudging to the fitting room, where she reluctantly removed
the dress.
Once disrobed, she hurried to catch up with Bruce. "Honey, please wait for me!"
Hearing her voice, Bruce paused, but his disappointment was evident. "Annie, I''m deeply
disappointed by what you''ve done."
Annie, unable to deny her actions any longer, pleaded for forgiveness. "I didn''t mean to do it. I don''t
know what came over me."
But Bruce remained unmoved, casting a cold nce at her. "Let''s break up, Annie."
"What? Break up? You can''t be serious!" Annie was in shock. She couldn''t believe that Bruce
wanted to end their rtionship. It had to be a mistake. "Bruce, this is a joke, right?"
Bruce''s stern expression told her it was no joke. "I''m not kidding."
"No, I won''t let us break up!" Annie couldn''t ept this. She had worked tirelessly to be
Bruce''s girlfriend, and she couldn''t just let it end like this. "Annie, you know I don''t appreciate people
pestering me," Bruce said with a frown.
"Why? Is it because of Jane?" Annie''s eyes burned with jealousy and resentment. "You need to
reflect on your own actions. This has nothing to do with anyone else," Bruce replied dispassionately,
shaking off Annie''s hand and walking away.
Staring at Bruce''s retreating figure, Annie felt utterly despondent. It was all Jane''s fault. She was the
cause of all this. If it weren''t for Jane, Bruce would never have broken up with her. Annie clenched
her fists, her nails digging into her skin as she vowed to herself, "I won''t let this go, Jane!"
Meanwhile, still in the studio, Jane unexpectedly sneezed.
"Are you alright?" Patrick asked with concern, taking off his suit jacket and draping it over her
shoulders. "Be careful not to catch a cold."
Shaking her head, Jane smiled and said, "I''m fine."
Osborn, watching from the sidelines, had a dark expression as he observed the scene.
"It appears that we won''t be able toplete the shoot today," Patrick frowned. "We''ll need to find a
new spokesperson and reschedule."
With Annie''s contract terminated, they had to select a new spokesperson. Jane suggested, "I have
a suitable candidate."
"Oh? Who is it?" Patrick inquired, turning to Jane.
"What do you think of Maria Marner?"
Jane asked while tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
Maria, an up-anding actress under Star Entertainment, had been Jane''s original choice for the
spokesperson. However, Annie had managed to secure the position first.
"Alright," Patrick agreed, raising an eyebrow. He hadn''t formed an opinion about Maria yet, but
since Jane believed she was the right choice, he trusted her judgment.
Jane turned to Osborn and asked, "Would you mind lending us Maria for a few days?"
"Of course not," Osborn agreed without hesitation and promptly called Maria.
After hanging up the phone, Osborn turned to Jane and said, "Maria will arrive in half an hour. We
should be able to continue shooting the advertisement today."
"Thank you."
Jane smiled, patting Osborn on the shoulder.
Patrick, who had been observing the situation, couldn''t help but wear a long face. What was going
on between Jane and Osborn?
Half an hourter, Maria arrived just in time. "Is it true? Does Pansy Group want me as their
spokesperson?" Maria asked in disbelief.
Osborn gave her a faint smile. "Since you''re here, do you still think I would lie to you?"
"I didn''t mean it that way. It''s just so sudden. Thank you!"
Maria couldn''t contain her excitement. Being a spokesperson for Pansy Group was a dreame
true for countless actors.
As a budding actress, the opportunity provided by Osborn was unexpected and immensely
appreciated.
"Work hard," Osborn reminded her. "Don''t bring shame to ourpany."
"I''ll do my best," Maria replied earnestly.
Maria and Annie had simr body types, so the dress custom-made for Annie should fit Maria just
as well. However, one of its buttons was missing.
"Contact Loe Studio and order a diamond button," Patrick instructed Morton.
Morton was about to make the call when Jane intervened. "Don''t bother. Give me five minutes, and
we''ll be ready to shoot."
Five minutes? Patrick looked at Jane with a puzzled expression. How could they proceed with the
shoot if a button was missing from the dress?
