Unconscious Husband: Meet Her Love In Silence by Ken Slaner

Chapter: 144
Josh slowly wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue and crossed his legs. “It’s only routine. I did it for the show and for the
viewers. Other people’s scenes were cut a lot too. None of their agents came here to complain. You’re just a troublemaker.” @
“Do you even believe your own lies? I don’t see any other artist’s performance being cut like that. Only Sarah’s performance was
cut short. Her scenes in that episode probably didn’t even last six minutes combined. Are you saying that’s the same for the
other artists?”
Ariana trembled with anger. When the promo video had been released, she guessed Josh and Jasper might do something
different to make things difficult for them, but she never thought they would take it this far.
“The contract doesn’t specify how long an artist’s scenes need to be, and we have our own considerations when it comes to
editing. You know nothing about that, so it’s not your place to complain. Anyway, you will get paid just as we agreed.”
Josh’s expression remained unchanged. He clearly didn’t take Ariana, or her anger seriously at all. He had no reason to go
against Jasper for her sake, since Adrian dumped her.
“You’ll regret this,” Ariana sneered.
Josh laughed, the fat in his face bouncing as he did. “What? Are you threatening me? What are you going to do? You have
nothing but your pretty little face.” @
When Ariana and Josh parted ways, they had become complete enemies.
Ariana returned to the hotel, full of anger and outrage. Her hope was running out but she called Donna anyway.

The phone rang for a long time before she finally picked up. “If you’re calling to talk about Sarah’s matter, you can hang up right
now,” Donna said impatiently.
It was no surprise that Donna guessed the purpose of Ariana’s call. After all, Donna was the department director. It was her job
to keep an eye on all of the artists.
But her bluntness did come as a surprise.
“Now that you know, I will be straightforward. I was hoping the company would put some pressure on the program team;
otherwise, the company will suffer more losses.” After a pause, Ariana continued with a softer tone, “Sarah is an important artist
for the company. If the company doesn’t take her seriously, then the program team will get even more arrogant. This isn’t just
about Sarah’s career. It’s about the company’s reputation too.”
“The company’s reputation has nothing to do with Sarah,” Donna sneered.
Biting her lip, Ariana ignored the irony in Donna’s words. “So, the company will sort this out, right?”
“You’re overthinking this. Why are you asking the company for help over such a small matter? Elva is also an important artist for
the company and the program team has treated her well. The company will not take a stand against Guava Broadcasting on
behalf of Sarah.” Donna’s voice became raised and angry.
Ariana moved the phone away from her ear. She could still hear Donna’s angry voice without turning on speakerphone.
“Let me tell you something. Sarah is just an unpopular singer now. If she becomes famous again, then she’s lucky. If she doesn’t,
then she’s simply not destined to be a popular singer.
Elva is the most important artist in the company right now.”

Ariana tried to protest, “Even if Sarah is unpopular right now, the program team shouldn’t be using dirty tricks like that to crush
her even more. She hasn’t done anything wrong. Why...”
“Cut the crap. I don’t want to hear anymore.” Donna interrupted her in a sharp voice. “You’re Sarah’s agent, but the power to
make decisions is in the hands of the company and you have no control over that. I hope you understand that. If you think
they’ve been unfair to Sarah, then after she’s eliminated from the show and comes back, we can arrange for her to be a
spokesperson for Harenin Foods, the snack brand, as compensation.”
Hearing this, Ariana hung up the phone, and held her head in her hands. @
She had never heard of Harenin Foods. It must be some kind of cheap brand. If Sarah became the spokesperson, it would make
her some money, but it wouldn’t be helpful for her music career.
Just then, Betsy shouted from inside the room, “Ariana! Come and look at this
