The Billionaire's Mistake

MISTAKE 205

Chapter 205: Trying to get Anya fired.

Anníe stepped out of the room and called the marketing director of Houston Corporation. When the man heard here request, he almost scoffed. Could he dare remove Miss Jones? The black family would be insulted. Besides, she was not their staff but just part of a joint team. She worked for Shaw group and they were not to be trifled with. He would never be stupid enough to jump into that trap.

"I cannot do that, Houston corporation has no right to remove a staff from Shaw group. You can talk to their team leader to see what happens" the marketing director said and Annie frowned.

"I have already done that. He said he cannot remove her without permission from the company. Isn't there a way to fix this? Jasmine really wants her gone." Annie said. When he heard her words, the Marketing director wanted to scoff. Of course Jimmy could not remove her, unless he wanted to loose his job.

"Then you might need to contact black group or Jasmine can just manage till the shoot is over," the market director said and ended the call. Annie was livid. Could it be this hard to remove a person in the corporate world? In the entertainment industry, it would be as easy as a phone call.

When Annie returned, her expression grave, Jasmine rounded on her. "Well? What did they say?"

"I spoke with the marketing director, and... I'm afraid it's not good news, Jasmine," Annie admitted, wincing slightly. "Anya Jones is part of the Shaw Group team, and they have no authority to remove her from this project." Jasmine's eyes widened in disbelief. "The Shaw Group? You mean that billionaire Daniel Shaw? I thought she worked for Houston."

Annie nodded. "Yes, exactly, I thought so too. They cannot fire a staff from another company. The director said that if Anya is causing you any issues, we'll need to take it up with the Shaw Group directly or manage till the shoot ends." "Manage!" Jasmine exclaimed, throwing her hands up in frustration. "I can't believe they're putting that little staff member's needs above mine. I'm the one bringing in the big bucks here!"

"I know, Jasmine, I know," Annie soothed, placing a hand on the actress's arm. "But we can't just demand that they remove her. We'll have to approach this carefully, maybe see if we can get her transferred to another team or something." Jasmine's eyes narrowed, a calculating look crossing her features. "No, Annie. I won't settle for that. If they won't remove her, then I'll make them."
