Chapter 1424
"Please don't take it that way, Mr. Snyder. Mr. Caleb genuinely forgot about the appointment. He would have rescheduled
everything to accommodate your needs if it were another client. But he's working with the daughter of the Saun family. Mr. Caleb
can't afford to offend them," Michael's assistant explained.
Stella paused and looked toward Vermont when she heard that.
Vermont's face turned cold. "Oh, so it's fine to offend me instead?"
"Of course not..."
Vermont was not in the mood for excuses. With a stern face, he said, "Tell Michael that if he doesn't come tonight, he won't be
taking any makeup jobs for Green Hill Media's artists in the future."
He then hung up the phone without giving the assistant a chance to speak.
When Vermont looked up, he saw that Keegan was expressionless.
"I counted on you to hire a good makeup artist for Stella, and you didn't even put in a deposit? How cheap can you be? " Keegan
asked.
"Well, I didn't expect the guy to stand me up." Vermont was not trying to save money on the deposit. He trusted Michael's word
because he had worked with him many times. He thought a quick notice would settle everything, but that was not the case.
Vermont knew Keegan would be extremely mad at him for messing up, especially since the party was tomorrow. So, he had to
lay down the law and force Michael to come.
Meanwhile, Stella bit her lips and thought about what Michael's assistant had just said.
"Stella, could they be referring to Jaylene when they mentioned the daughter of the Saun family?" asked Felicity.' Wenham
Saun's family is the only Saun family they could not afford to offend. And since Stella is right here, they must be talking about the
wolf.'
Stella pressed her lips together and said, "Most likely."
"Could Jaylene be doing this on purpose? I mean, why would she book your slot when there are so many makeup artists in
Rivera? It's all too coincidental," said Felicity.
The circumstances were truly baffling.
At the Saun residence, Michael's assistant hung up the phone and quickly told him what happened.
"Mr. Caleb, Mr. Snyder sounded furious. He wants you to go over there immediately. He even said that Green Hill Media would
stop hiring you to do makeup for their artists if you don't show up."
Michael was in the middle of color-correcting Jaylene's foundation shade when he heard this. He frowned and whispered, "Didn't
you tell him what I told you to say?"
"I did, but Mr. Snyder didn't listen to me. He insisted that you be there."
Michael immediately became worried, not because he would lose jobs in Green Hill Media, but because he was afraid Vermont
would cause him trouble in the entertainment industry.
"Is there a problem, Mr. Caleb?" Jaylene asked in a low voice. She had approached Michael through a friend a few days ago.
Naturally, Michael accepted the offer to do makeup for the daughter of the Sauns. He hoped to expand his network by doing
business with her because she represented Elegant Media and the Saun family.
Hence, he decided not to show up to his appointment with Vermont and intentionally turned off his phone. He did not expect
Vermont to be so insistent this time.
Michael thought about how to answer and said, "I'll be honest, Ms. Saun. I originally did not want to take on this job. But the
person who introduced us told me a lot about you and said you requested my presence. I couldn't bring myself to reject you, so I
accepted the offer."
