My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 953 - 952: We Donβt Want This Artist Anymore
After ten minutes, Linda knocked on the door of the Presidentβs office.
A steady voice came from inside: "Come in." π³ππππππππ πππ.π°π π¦
Linda pushed the door open and walked in, seeing the man sitting at the desk, she got straight to the point: "Mr. Tucker, what is it that you needed to speak with me about?"
She had some guesses in her mind.
She had known Garret Twain for many years, and they were more than just boss and subordinate, they were old friends as well.
Both of them had a mutual understanding for each other.
"Thereβs no need for such formalities between us. It sounds so awkward. Thereβs nobody here." Garret pointed to the couch, "Sit down first. What would you like to drink?"
Linda sat down on the side, shaking her head, "Thereβs no need for it. Mr. Tucker, just tell me directly why you wanted to see me. You know my personality, I donβt like to beat around the bush."
"Alright." Garret liked to get straight to the point too. Once she sat down, he directly asked, "The artist you just signed, what was her name... seems to start with Jo, I think?"
A "thud" resounded in Lindaβs heart, but she remained composed on the surface, nodding her head, "Yes, her name is Joanna Lawrence."
As expected, it had something to do with Joanna.
"Hmm, itβs her." Garret sat back on the black leather chair, a subtle crease on his forehead, "Have you seen all the commotion sheβs caused on her Blog?"
"Iβve seen it."
"This artist has just been signed recently, right? Why does she keep causing trouble? Itβs a big deal this time, the entire Blog is filled with condemnations of her. Even the fans of Maddox Allenson have gone to our companyβs official Blog to curse people."
"While itβs true that artists need exposure, causing such frequent trouble like this isnβt good, right? Moreover, with her causing such a big fuss this time, itβs probably difficult for the company to clean this up for her. If we had to involve Public Relations, it would require spending quite a bit."
"She hasnβt brought much revenue to the company yet, having the company spend huge sums to settle this issue for her is not a worthwhile deal."
Linda remained silent, waiting for Garret to finish, then calmly responded, "Mr. Tucker, are you suggesting that we should abandon her?"
Garret twiddled a ring around his finger, replying indifferently, "How should I intervene? Seeing the current trend, do you think we can quell this situation just by spending money to pull down the hot search, and hiring online trolls to control the publicβs opinion?"
Linda furrowed her brows, "Mr. Tucker, are you implying..."
Garret lifted his head to glance at her and said, "She has offended someone, and they want to mess with her. Otherwise, how do you think the topic got onto the hot search list so quickly?"
"But, thatβs no reason for us to just abandon her. Regardless, she is an artist under our company now. Besides, this incident is not her fault at all, Maddox voluntarily protected her from the sulfuric acid, he wasnβt forced to by her."
"So the fans are upset and attacking her, that I can understand. But Mr. Tucker, surely you can tell right from wrong."
Hearing her say this, Garret let out a cold snort, "Of course, I know itβs not her fault. However, with the situation becoming what it is now, even if itβs not her fault, itβs still related to her. Thereβs no need for the company to keep an artist whoβs always causing trouble."
Linda was startled, a look of surprise appearing on her face, "Mr. Tucker, what do you mean?"
Garret looked directly at her: "Terminate the contract with her. We donβt want this artist anymore."
