Ariana took a deep breath. She walked up to Theodore and said softly. “Thank you for your help.”
Theodore replied in an indifferent tone, “Why are you thanking me? You don’t have to. Sarah is signed to my company. I’m only doing this because of that. Moreover, | don’t want the press to have a field day over this. The ongoing scandal is already enough problem as itis.”
