315 Cancelling the contract 01 (1/2)
Jeremy blinked his eyes a few times. He did not even realize he had fallen asleep while in the car. He stretched his arms and let out a yawn. He got out of the car. Greg followed behind.
Four days already passed after the phone call from Ryn and the team managed to control the situation. Of course, Jennifer and her manager turned everything to their own version and painted Ryn as the causal of the 'fight' and Jennifer was the victim the whole time. Jennifer did try to pull Jeremy's name into the conflict but Jeremy's team was ready with this. It even came to Jennifer's manager contacting his manager (music) and asked him to cooperate with her.
Of course, he declined the request.
Right now, he was on the way to the entertainment agency with his lawyer.
”Are you sure about this?” Greg whispered as they almost entering the building.
”Hmm…” Jeremy was tired with the drama. He wanted to put this whole thing to a stop. Of course, it took him quite a few days to think about it. But he did not discuss this with his group mates.
He took a deep breath before entered the building.
Greg did not act like a regular lawyer. Instead of bringing a black briefcase and wearing full suits, he was bringing a brown leather backpack and flamingo shirt. In fact, Greg looked like he was on a holiday instead of representing Jeremy!
They bumped into some artists and the managers. Jeremy spent sometimes chatting with them but did not tell why he was there. About twenty minutes then he managed to meet the boss of the company. He was smiling so none of them could guess what he had in mind.
”Jeremy, to what do I owe this visit?” the boss asked as he welcomed Jeremy to sit. He did look at Greg who was following, frowning. Was this man Jeremy's new assistant?
”This is Greg Mo, my attorney,” Jeremy introduced Greg to him.
”Hello, Mr Mo,” he tried to hide his uneasiness when he realized the man was actually a lawyer. Why would Jeremy bring a lawyer into the office? Something smell fishy.
”Hello,” Greg accepted the hand offered and then sat beside Jeremy. He was smiling in a friendly manner, which threw the boss off.
What was going on right now?
”First of all, I am sorry to come here unannounced but I do have an important thing to discuss with you,” Jeremy said in a serious way but the smile never left his face.
The boss cleared his voice and tried to smile, ”What is it about?”
Jeremy looked at Greg who nodded his head. Then, he turned to look at the company's boss. ”I want to end my contract.”
The boss looked at him in shock. This… this… But why?
”Are you not happy with the schedule and the promotion?” he asked. He did not want to lose this golden goose.
”We can give you time off,” the boss said hurriedly.
Jeremy just smiled.
”Or is it because of Jennifer?” the boss asked suddenly. He did hear the latest problem regarding Jennifer and the PR team went into overdrive just to take control of the situation
”Greg,” Jeremy turned to look at his friend. Greg should take over by now.
”I have calculated how much Mr Long has to pay for the cancelling of the contract,” Greg took over the talk. He took out a file and showed the figure to the boss. ”Would you need to calculate this with your team?”
