Chapter 3

In the early morning, she was awakened by a series of phone calls from her agent Maya Reed.

"Joanna, look at the social media platform! The producer of the global food documentary "Flavor Search" that you have been preparing for half a year suddenly and unilaterally announced a replacement!"

She sat up suddenly, no longer feeling sleepy.

"Flavor Pathfinding" is the most important part of her career.

In order to win the position of the resident host, she did not rest for more than half a year. She traveled to many countries to test dishes and write plans. She even suffered from acute gastritis due to overwork.

The producer just confirmed the final contract with her yesterday, so why did she suddenly change her?

She quickly opened her social media platform, and the first one on the hot topic list was: #Serena Blair airborne flavor search#

Click on it to see the latest official announcement released by the producer. The picture is of Serena Blair wearing a white dress and smiling innocently.

The comment section was in an uproar. Her fans were frantically defending their rights, while Serena's fans were mocking her for not having enough status and saying that Internet celebrities should not touch porcelain artists.

Her fingers were trembling slightly, and she immediately dialed the number of the producer's chief director.

"Director Harris, what on earth is going on? Hasn't our contract already..."

"Ms. Stone, I'm really sorry." Director Harris' tone was helpless and flattering, "This is not something we can decide. Quinn Group suddenly fully acquired the production company last night, and Mr. Quinn personally said that he would give this position to Miss Serena."

There was a bang.

Her mind went blank.

She hung up the phone, took a taxi and rushed to the Quinn Group headquarters without even changing her clothes.

Arriving at the executive's office unimpeded, she pushed open the door to Ethan Quinn's office.

In the office, Ethan Quinn was sitting on a large leather chair, while Serena Blair was sitting on the sofa next to him, holding a cup of coffee in her hand, and the two were talking and laughing.

Seeing her barging in, Serena immediately put down her coffee cup and shrank behind Ethan.

"Ethan..." Her voice was delicate.

Ethan's face instantly darkened and he stared at her coldly: "Who taught you the rule of not knocking when you enter?"

"Why?" She ignored his scolding and walked straight to the desk, staring at him. ""Flavor Pathfinding" is the hard work I have been preparing for half a year. Why did you give it to her with just one sentence?"

Ethan leaned back in his chair, his eyes contemptuous: "I am an investor." He stood up, walked to Serena, patted her shoulder gently, and when he looked at her again, there was only coldness in his eyes.

"Serena has just returned to this city and needs a program with a wide audience coverage to regain her popularity. As a blogger of a broken shop, what is the use of such resources? It's just to eat and Drink."

"Potan shop blogger?" She laughed angrily, but her eyes were red, "Ethan Quinn, that is my career! It was the opportunity I bought after spending countless late nights and getting rejected! In order to please her, are you going to destroy my hard work?"

"Watch your words." Ethan frowned and said in a serious tone, "Serena is a classical dancer, and her temperament is more suitable for this kind of high-end documentary than you. If you want resources, I will ask my assistant to arrange the promotion of several big-name skin care products for you. Don't make trouble here."

"I don't want promotion, I just want "Flavor Pathfinding"." She looked at him stubbornly.

At this time, Serena gently pulled Ethan's sleeve, her eyes were slightly red: "Ethan, forget it, since Ms. Stone likes it so much, I will just give it back to her. I don't want to affect your relationship because of me."

"Don't give in." Ethan held Serena's hand in his hand and looked at her sharply.

"Joanna, do you have to be so fussy about it? Serena has suffered a lot abroad. What's wrong with me compensating her with a show? As my future wife, you don't even have this generosity?"

What ridiculous logic.

He used her hard work to compensate for his obsession with his old love, and blamed her for not being generous enough.

She looked at the two people's clasped hands, and her heart seemed to be clenched tightly by a big invisible hand, which was so painful that she couldn't breathe.

This is the man she has been conquering for seven years.

Cold-blooded, selfish, trampling on her dignity and hard work.

"Okay, I'm generous." She took a deep breath and pushed back the tears in her eyes.

She looked at Ethan and said word by word, "Ethan Quinn, I gave this program to her."

Ethan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that she would compromise so easily.

He looked at her eyes that were so calm that they were almost lifeless, and he felt inexplicably irritated in his heart.

"You know what's going on." He snorted coldly.

Without looking at them again, she turned and walked out of the office.

The moment she closed the door, she leaned against the cold wall, gasping for air.

It doesn't matter, she told herself again.

Five days to go.

Once the mission is completed, she will no longer have to suffer this kind of torture.
