Chapter 19 Why Did You Pick Me 1/1 " Are you sure ? My company is pretty small . Wouldn't your talent be wasted here ? " Nancy asked . " I don't care . I'll still be your spokesperson even if it's an unknown company . How can I let others bully you ? Let's sign the contract already , " Hillary urged firmly . Nancy chuckled . " Okay . Thanks a lot . " " But it'll probably take a few days for the filming to wrap up. There are a few things that still need to be settled , " Hillary said . " Don't worry about it . It's not urgent , " Nancy replied . In no time , the two came to an agreement . Nancy sent the contract over as soon as she had prepared it . The next day , Nancy bumped into a familiar figure on a call as she was heading out . Seeing her , Gideon mouthed the words , " Do you want a ride ? " Nancy pursed her lips gently , recalling Ian's warning . While she pondered whether to turn the offer down , Gideon ended the call and said , " Your dad and I are business competitors . But between us , it's purely personal . " You're not going to let a business rivalry influence your opinion of me , are you ? " " I'm curious as to why you picked me to be your friend ? " Nancy was desperate to know . Gideon smirked and said , " You're talented and beautiful . Anyone would want to befriend someone like that . " Between us , we can only be either friends or enemies - nothing in between . Don't tell me you want us to be enemies . " Nancy fell silent for a moment before prompting , Let's go. " Gideon was right . With their identities , they were better off as friends rather than enemies . Nancy arrived at the office on time . The first thing on her agenda was a meeting . The only difference was that Rebecca was already in the conference room . The second Nancy took her seat , Rebecca complained , " Ms. the new product , and now we only have half the number . " " That's right . Why did you dismiss Ms. Lidell as our spokesperson ? She's the one we carefully handpicked . " oore , everyone on the internet is attacking us because of you . We had so many orders for Nancy scanned them with a cold gaze . " And you guys ended up handpicking I someone like Raine ? She'll make the company pay for her mistakes one day . " " Ms. Moore , what do we do now ? Everyone on the internet is attacking Rebecca's supporters took turns to voice their concerns . us . " Rebecca scoffed , " You're just jealous of her . Raine might not be an idol , but she has more followers than the famous stars . " If you don't want her , then you should look for a better spokesperson . The thing is , no one wants to endorse our products now . They're all afraid of ofíending the Lidell family . " When Rebecca finished speaking , many employees cast Nancy bitter looks . After all , their salaries were tied to their performance , and Nancy's actions had caused them significant losses . " A better spokesperson ? I found one already . The company will announce it soon . Rebecca stared hard at Nancy . " Oh ? Who is it ? Why didn't you tell us sooner ? I doubt your new spokesperson would be stay in a company like this . " With that , Rebecca threw her employee tag on the table . as good as Raine . That's it . I can't " I'm quitting, too , " the other employees behind Rebecca uttered the same thing and removed their employee tags . They had all conspired with Rebecca to pressure Nancy . Now that things had gotten so serious , the management would surely look into it . Then , Nancy would definitely be fired . " In that case , I shall not make you stay . Is anyone else quitting ?
