After ending the call, Hannah pondered briefly before dialing Piersons number.
The phone rang several times before someone answered.
The mans voice was gentle as he said, Hello, may I know who is calling?

Pierson was mumbling to himself on the phone, his face twisted in displeasure.
If this is a hassle for you, just forget it.
No issue at all. Pierson responded, I had no intentions of attending.
Suddenly, Piersons tone turned cold. I got a call from Archer Groups entertainment company for a business meeting. It turned out to be a ruse to get me there. I wondered why they picked a singing venue for business.
Hannah realized that even artists face tough situations. If Archer Group is going to pressure you, feel free to turn down my suggestion.

Tired of acting, he was eager to shift his career focus to directing and behind-the-scenes work.
Yet, Pierson didnt share these thoughts with Hannah. Instead, he assured her in a warm tone, Dont worry, Hannah. Although Im shooting a program here in Valmere, I wont attend.
Thank you. Hannah smiled. Ill treat you to dinner when were both free.
Pierson burst into Laughter on the other end of the phone and asked directly, Hannah, youre not just being polite, are you? Does that mean youll always be busy?
