Meanwhile, inside Globe Entertainment, a man continued apologizing endlessly over the phone.
"We're truly sorry for the inconvenience, sir," he said for what felt like the hundredth time, sounding as though he was moments away from breaking down completely. "Please give us a little more time. I'll personally try to convince him."
The person on the other side of the call clearly remained unhappy.
After all, the company's biggest star had abruptly refused to continue the shoot midway, leaving behind a massive production team and a client who had already invested millions into the campaign.
"I understand your frustration," the man continued while massaging his forehead tiredly. "Yes, I know how much money has already gone into this project. I'll handle it."
After another long round of reassurance, the call finally ended.
The man immediately dropped his head onto the desk dramatically.
"Goodness," he muttered weakly. "Being a manager is shortening my lifespan."
