Chapter 22 I’ll Pay More

Avery’s smile faded. She gaped and grabbed Josephine’s hands in hers. “I’m sorry, I just wanted to get you to come here. I didn’t mean to block you. But since you’re. here, this means that you value me more than that asshole, right?”

Josephine pressed her lips into a thin line as she stared at Avery pitifully.

“Alright, alright. I’ll unblock you now. Will that do?” Avery pulled her phone out and unblocked Josephine. “So will you go to Playtime?”

Sierra scoffed. “But I only want the role of Mythinth.”

“Well…” All the producers looked around uneasily. If Sierra insisted on taking the role. of Mythinth, then there was no point in Josephine taking on any other roles.”

Avery scowled. “What is the meaning of this, Mr. Colson?”

He went closer to her and said softly, “She’s the top player on our leaderboards, and she was sent by Mr. Alvarez.”

Avery could not hold back a laugh when she heard that. She deliberately raised her. voice. “Is that so? Say, Mr. Alvarez sure is generous! If only he was that generous to his wife too!”

Hushed whispers sounded throughout the office when she said that. Sierra’s.
