True Love Waits

Chapter 340 Call Curtis Again

Ivan stared at Debbie's contract and said into his phone, "Your contract is going to expire soon. You plan to settle in Y City, don't you? Now you can go anywhere else to explore new horizons for your music. With your potential, I believe you will make an international star."

"But..." Debbie stammered.

Ivan knew what was on her mind, so he coaxed, "We can hold your concert in a month. If no company wants to sign you then, you can still go back to the Wen Group, while we wait for some large company to come knocking for your signature."

"Absolutely not! Ivan, I won't do that. Even if I'm going to work outside the Z Country, I will still sign with the Wen Group." Through the years, Ivan and Irene had helped her a lot. If she chose to leave the Wen Group at this moment, she would be the most ungrateful woman in the world.

"Debbie, relax. Listen to me. The Star Empire under the ZL Group is one of the leading companies in the entertainment industry. If you can sign with the Star Empire, it will add to your popularity. A contract with them will benefit you a lot. You've been working day and night all these years. Have you forgotten what you've always wanted to be?" Ivan asked.

'What do I want? I want to be powerful enough to avenge myself, ' Debbie thought.

After a short pause, she said, "My answer is the same. I want to stay with the Wen Group for life."

Ivan burst into laughter. "I admire your firmness! But... Come on. We have many popular stars, and your absence will make no difference. The only reason why I'm asking you to sign with the Star Empire is that they have Carlos as their boss. You came back to Y City for him, didn't you?"

'What? Carlos is in charge of the Star Empire?! That means if I sign with the company, Carlos will be my boss!' The very thought excited Debbie.

Sensing that she hesitated, Ivan continued, "I believe you and Carlos will eventually get back together. Then you will settle in Y City. Isn't that something you'd fancy?"

Ivan's words made sense. "But the Star Empire has more established stars. I'm afraid—"

Ivan interrupted her. "Don't think too much. You are different from them. Unique in your own special way. How about this? If you sign with the Star Empire, you can stay in Y City. And if something is off, you can always come back to the Wen Group. Okay?"
