Chapter 149 Come Back and Work for Us
Amelia’s words oozed with sarcasm and hidden meaning.

Patience was caught off guard at first, then quickly gave a thumbs–up and nodded. “Of course, no problem. Rain or shine, I’ll go with you!”
She immediately understood what Amelia was getting at. A fake like Gianna throwing a birthday party? That could only spell disaster.
If Gianna had the nerve to invite Amelia, she shouldn’t be surprised if the two of them ruined her party.
Amelia already gave the Nygards enough headaches–bringing Maxwell’s ex along would make things even more awkward for them.
Just the thought of it was enough to make Patience happy.
The two shared a knowing smile, as if they could already picture the Nygards getting humiliated at the party.
They gossiped about the Nygards for a while, then went their separate ways.
Patience had a meeting with a senior musician at a restaurant. The musician had been unhappy with his current company and wanted out of his contract, so Patience saw a perfect poaching opportunity.
But just after parking her car and walking a few steps, she ran into someone she really didn’t
want to see.
It was Maxwell.
“Why are you here?” Maxwell looked genuinely shocked to see his ex.
“What, you own this place? Am I not allowed here?”
Patience rolled her eyes at him and turned away.
She had planned to walk this way, but after seeing him, she immediately headed in the other direction.
“Hey, why are you walking off so fast?” Maxwell hurried after her, annoyed. “What’s with your attitude?”
To Maxwell, Patience had grown prickly–she was nothing like the sweet, caring woman she
used to be.

“What kind of attitude do you mean?” As long as it annoyed him, she was happy to act that way.
“Why do you have to be so sharp with your words? I think we could sit down and talk.”
“Sorry, I have nothing to talk about with you. Can you move? Don’t block my way to success.”
She was on her way to meet the senior musician. If things went well, maybe she could land another star for the company.
So honestly, she had nothing to say to this jerk.
“What are you up to now? Wait, are you still working with Amelia? Why would you lower yourself like that?
“You should just come back to Nygard Group and mentor Gianna. If you’re willing, I’ll have Lina manage someone else.”
Maxwell knew she was mad at him, so he tried to make peace by offering her an incentive- he’d let her take Lina’s job.
He figured anyone would rather be a top agent at a big company than struggle at some small- time agency.
Plus, if Gianna made it big, her manager would be famous too.
Patience is smart. Surely she knows what to pick, right?
He was only making this offer because she was his ex–girlfriend.
But Patience answered mockingly,
“Huh? Maxwell, did you hit your head or something?”
She stared at him like he was an idiot, her contempt obvious.
“You–what is that supposed to mean?”
“Isn’t it obvious? How dare you dump your useless sister on me again? Her current manager is probably suffering in silence. Hahaha!”
She was telling the truth.
Gianna was hopeless. After all these years, her acting was still awful–she hadn’t made any progress at all.
If she had any real talent, she would have made a name for herself long ago.
