Chapter 100
Her sudden cheerfulness and optimism didn’t fool Theodore at all.
He knew that she was only pretending.
Although he didn’t press on, he made up his mind.
Ariana ate to her satisfaction before going to her room.
She took a shower, but she couldn’t sleep immediately.
She decided to do some carving with clay.
The outcome was a palm-sized sculpture of a person.
The more she looked at the sculpture, the more she felt that it looked like someone.
She took a pin-sized graver and engraved Theodore’s name on its feet.
Suddenly, Ariana burst out laughing.
The sculpture looked so amusing.
She altered the sculpture’s facial expression and made it look like it was crying.
The good laugh lightened up her mood further.
After a while, she pulled herself together and began to check her emails.
Sarah was on the right track to getting back her good reputation.
She was sought after by many now.
There were numerous invitations for interviews and guest appearances at top shows.
But these shows didn’t want any long-term cooperation with Sarah.
They just wanted to use her for clout now that she was trending online.
Although it was good for Sarah to be on screen, leveraging on such publicity wouldn’t do her career good in the long run.
She might fade again soon if care wasn’t taken.
If that happened, even the smallest production team wouldn’t want to invite her.
It was a tough choice.
Ariana wanted the best for Sarah, so she picked out a few relatively better offers and decided to discuss them with Sarah tomorrow.

The following morning, Ariana was discussing with Sarah when she received a call from Josh.
She was surprised but curious to know why he was calling.

“Good morning, Ariana.
Please can I know Sarah’s schedule?” Josh uttered in a cautious tone as soon as the line connected.
Before she could say anything, he continued, “I’m sorry about what happened yesterday.
It was a terrible mistake on my part.
We can continue the cooperation.
Is Sarah still willing to be on the variety show? If she doesn’t mind, we can sign the contract immediately.
”
Ariana’s heart flustered with joy and astonishment.
However, something just didn’t add up.
She became calm and thought hard about the whole thing.
It was what she had wanted, but she didn’t accept it immediately.
She just said euphemistically, “I’d have to discuss this with Sarah first.
I’ll contact you once we have decided.
”
“That works, but how about I bring the contract to you later? We should discuss face to face and iron out whatever problems.
As you know, the shooting will start soon.
We need to settle all the necessary things as soon as possible.
”
It was even more surprising that Josh was in such a hurry to get the contract signed.
Wasn’t he the same person who stood them up yesterday? Anyway, Ariana said hesitantly, “Okay, let’s meet up later.
”
But Josh arrived at the company in less than ten minutes.
Ariana wondered whether he teleported or was already waiting outside while they spoke on the phone.
Josh seemed like a completely different person.
Unlike yesterday, he smiled at them brightly and praised Sarah to no end.
“Sarah, you are the most talented singer of this generation.
None of the other singers come close to you.
This show will be a stepping stone for you.
You will take the world by storm, trust me!”
Ariana and Sarah couldn’t help but exchange confused looks.
“Please go through the contract.
If you aren’t satisfied with any of the clauses, just point them out.
I will get them adjusted immediately.
If everything sits right with you, please append your signature to it.
I’d be glad if you can give us another chance, Ms.
Flynn,” Josh added sincerely.
Ariana had been silent for a long time.
After looking through the contract, she asked, “Don’t you need to tell Mr.
Jasper Anderson about this?”
