"I came here today for one person."
Hearing this, Terry's smile froze, looking somewhat puzzled.
"Mrs. Wilson, are you interested in one of our hosts?"
I nodded, not hiding my thoughts.
"Last time at the gallery, the female host Sarah you brought over caught my eye. This time, I'm here to take her away."
Terry's eyes shifted, clearly up to no good.
Sure enough, he started to complain.
"Mrs. Wilson, you really know how to pick. Sarah is my favorite. To be honest, I've spent a lot of money training her."
In other words, if I wanted to take Sarah, it wouldn't be cheap.
I smiled faintly.
"Mr. Lopez, as far as I know, Sarah has only been with your company for six months. How could there be a lot of training involved?"
Terry licked his lips, his eyes gleaming.
"Mrs. Wilson, that's not right. Our company provides targeted training for each host. Each person's training plan is one-on-one. Such a plan ensures that every host can become popular online, which naturally requires a lot of resources."
I had anticipated that Terry wouldn't let her go easily, but I didn't expect him to be so shameless.
"Terry, I am aware of your company's operation model. Why insist on holding onto her?"
Pausing, I continued.
"Of course, you can continue to negotiate with me, but I'm not necessarily set on your Sarah."
With that, I stood up, ready to leave.
Terry also stood up, seemingly confident.
"Mrs. Wilson, there's only one Sarah, and her value can't be measured by money."
I sneered.
"In fact, I just think Sarah is a good fit. Since you insist on raising the price, there's no way I will spend a lot of money on an unknown host. Besides, Emerald City has more than just your media company."
Saying this, I rolled my eyes and walked out.
Seeing that I was serious, Terry hurriedly blocked our way.
"Mrs. Wilson, don't say that. It's Sarah's good fortune that you like her."
"If you really like her, I can let her go, but I hope you can put in a good word for me with Mr. Wilson."
I crossed my arms, looking coldly at Terry.
"Please, if the Wilson family has to owe you a favor for Sarah, it's really unnecessary."
Seeing my firm attitude, Terry became anxious.
"How about this, Sarah's contract is here. As long as Mrs. Wilson pays the breach of contract fee, I'll let her go, okay?"
Terry thought this was his bottom line, but it was exactly what I wanted.
But paying the breach of contract fee was out of the question. I looked at Xavier.
Xavier stepped forward, his aura changing instantly.
"Hello, I am Mrs. Wilson's lawyer. As for Miss Cooper's breach of contract fee, I need to see the contract first."
Terry stammered, not daring to produce the contract, which couldn't see the light of day.
Once it was out, a professional lawyer could easily spot the loopholes.
"Well, I forgot where I put Sarah's contract. The breach of contract fee is one million dollars. As long as Mrs. Wilson pays, I'll fire Sarah immediately, okay?"
I rolled my eyes. Did he really think I was that stupid?
