Chapter 697


    “I don’t care about how he’s gonna cuss me out, I can’t handle the stress of long work hours. I


    believe everyone would put their health first…”


    The assistant looked a bit troubled, “Mr. Reed, it’s way past the agreed time, some people might be


    really steamed! You’ve made your point, maybe we can wrap it up now…” Philip cracked a smile


    and took another sip of his coffee..


    “Let them huff and puff over the phone. Remember, only agree to go after the third call…”


    The assistant sighed in relief, “Alright.”


    Back at the shooting crew, Shawn’s assistant hung up the phone and ryed Philip’s assistant’s


    words to Shawn.


    “He said he’s still on an IV drip, asked us to hold our horses!”


    Shawn heaved a sigh, mming the bottled water he was holding onto the table.


    “He had the balls toe up with such an excuse!”


    But not long after the call ended, Chloe received a few pictures.


    She smirked, walking back to Shawn, “Let’s consider recing him. Because even if Shawn arrives,


    I won’t let Jete continue shooting.”


    Shawn looked up at Chloe in surprise,


    “Ms. Summers, what are you getting at?”

    Everyone around gathered. This had turned into a big scoop in the entertainment industry.


    People in showbiz always wore a mask. Every smile hid another face, looking righteous on the


    outside but sly on the inside. Even when they couldn’t stand each other, they’d still put on a friendly


    face. They had never seen such an obvious opposition before.


    Chloe’s face showed a hint of frost, her voice icy.


    “Shawn, the decision to rece him now is a sign of respect to you. I don’t want to let down all the


    efforts the team has put in, otherwise, I could wait until Philip arrives, and then rece him right in


    front of his face.”


    Upon hearing this, Shawn’s face softened a bit despite the embarrassment.


    The one stood up today was not only him but also Jete. As Jete’s boss, it was


    understandable for Chloe to be mad about her artist being neglected. As she said, choosing to


    rece him now gave him time to find a substitute and avoid causing a stir in his crew.


    She chose not to blow her fuse right when Philip arrived, definitely an act of protecting his dignity.


    But…


    “Why this sudden decision?”


    Chloe, without hesitation, handed over her phone to Shawn.


    “If I can tolerate this, then I’m too soft.”


    Shawn took the phone and his face turned grave upon seeing the pictures. In the picture, Philip was


    evidently enjoying coffee leisurely in a high–end café, with the timestamp being the moment right


    before his assistant called him.


    He was trembling with anger, clutching the phone tightly.


    “Philip has really crossed the line, he’s gone too far-”


    In a fit of rage, Shawn gave a hard kick forward. The bottled water he just drank was knocked over


    by the force, instantly flying up, and the entire table fell forward.
