Of course I'mswnov Sebastian said evenly, "I suspect there's more to it. You and Rebecca have crossed paths before?" Gracie was aware of Sebastian's penetrative gaze and didn't dare to make any more moves.
She said directly, "That's the main reason why I wanted to see you today." "Just spit it out." Sebastian didn't like beating around the bush. He was already quite impatient.
Gracie saw this and nodded. "You must have heard about the incident between Jeffrey Perez and Ashley." "I have." "Then you must also know that Ashley is the star I made, and also a close friend." Sebastian: "So? What are you getting at?"
Gracie: "I want Ashley to cback so she can helpgrogmc Dgroonewcomers and expand the studio!" Sebastian: "Out of the question." Gracie: "President... I beg you." Sebastian rejected her without any hesitation.
