He responded respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Parker, is there an issue?"
On the black leather chair, the man’s slender eyes were half-closed, a hint of ice glinting within them.
Even when lowering his head, Frank could still feel that icy gaze lingering on him.
After just a few seconds, David felt chills continuously creeping up his back, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He felt as if he had been frozen solid, standing stiffly, not daring to move an inch.
In the past, when he was the young master of Benington Group, he would exhibit trepidation and fear in the presence of Frank Parker.
Moreover, now he was depending on Frank Parker for his livelihood, which prevented him from being in complete turmoil.
His fear towards Frank was even greater than before.
David felt as though he was running out of breath.
He had no idea why Frank was paying attention to his signing of Annie Lawrence’s contract.
Even with the most popular artist in the company, Frank never asked a single thing.
But he had asked specifically about Annie Lawrence.
Could it be because...Annie Lawrence had undergone plastic surgery to resemble Joanna Lawrence?
So, were all those rumors about Frank’s past involvent with Joanna true?
Recalling all the ways Frank had previously defended Joanna, David was almost certain that Frank must have feelings for Joanna.
Could this be the reason...
That Frank is now also interested in Annie Lawrence?
As David’s mind was jumbled with these thoughts, he heard Frank’s cold voice again, "I heard you’re planning to propel her to stardom? The funding you applied for earlier, was it for her?"
David imdiately ca to his senses. Not daring to et Frank’s gaze, he lowered his head even more and replied, "Yes, Mr. Parker, I believe Oga Huntley has potential for developnt. With proper resources, she will surely beco popular."
"Has potential for developnt?" Frank chuckled mockingly.
The next second, as David felt a sense of danger, the coffee cup on Frank Parker’s desk had already been slamd down in front of him.
He was shocked and terrified, yet did not dare to dodge, and the steaming cup of coffee along with its contents hit his chest, soaking his white shirt instantly.
His eyes were filled with fear and he cried, "Mr. Parker!"
"You sign an artist who resembles Joanna, and you plan to heavily promote her. David, what are you trying to do?"
"Mr. Parker, I... I have no ulterior motive." A frightened David, whose face had turned pale, hastily explained, "Oga and Joanna..."
Feeling the gaze resting on him beca even colder, David hurriedly corrected himself, "No, it’s Joanna. They do look sowhat alike, but I signed Oga not because she resembles Joanna but because I think her outward image is good, and with the right promotion, she could beco popular. Other than that... I really have no other intentions."
"If Mr. Parker dislikes her, I can terminate her contract imdiately."
In critical tis, David would not consider Annie’s feelings.
If Annie had not assured him that she could win Frank over, David would have not risked signing her.
He originally thought that Frank would definitely beco interested in Annie as she is now.
As long as he had ever had feelings for Joanna.
He would definitely be interested in Annie now.
Although Annie may be a low-budget imitation of Joanna because of her plastic surgery, she does resemble Joanna by sixty to seventy percent.
And this sixty to seventy percent resemblance can serve many purposes.
