Out of Ashes Into His Heart novel Chapter 96

It was a sleepless night. The next morning, I dragged myself to work looking visibly exhausted. Dealing with Tom would have to wait—work came first.

But as soon as I arrived at the office, I noticed a crowd of colleagues gathered outside Mr. Burke's office, desperately trying to peek inside.

"Wow! It really is a big celebrity. She's stunning."

"She's way prettier in person!"

Hearing my colleagues' exclamation, I figured a famous actress must have visited the company. I had never really been interested in celebrities though.

As I settled into my seat and started organizing the materials I'd need later, Joseph approached me. His brows furrowed together in concern. "Grace…"

"Joseph, what's wrong?"

"Mandy Green is here…" Joseph replied.

I froze at the mention of her name. "Mandy Green?"

Joseph nodded. "I just went into the manager's office and overheard their conversation. Mandy came specifically for you. She said if you agree to be her exclusive voice actor, she won't pursue the previous matter anymore…"

"That's impossible. I'll never agree to that." Frustration surged within me. As expected, enemies would always cross paths. Mandy was persistent.

Hearing my refusal, Joseph's frown deepened as his face filled with worry. "Grace, don't be impulsive. She's a well-known celebrity. Someone like her isn't someone you can afford to offend. If she really wants to make things difficult for you, your career in the voice acting industry might suffer."

"Joseph, I appreciate your concern, but I'll handle this myself," I said.

"Grace…"

Before he could finish, a colleague interrupted, calling me to Mr. Burke's office.
