Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 636 I Have Nothing to Offer You

Selena knocked on the door again, but Andrew still wouldn't open it.

She raised her voice, "Mr. Newman, I'm here to talk about a collaboration."

Inside, Andrew was pouring himself a drink. He chuckled at the word "collaboration."

"Mr. Newman, I know you were wronged with Amanda. I'm here to help. If you want to hide forever, I'll leave."

A bottle hit the floor inside.

The door swung open.

Andrew stood there, eyes filled with scrutiny and a hint of excitement.

"Who are you?" he asked.

Selena handed him her business card.

"I'm Selena, president of S.M Corporation. We're new, but we can help you."

Andrew took the card and opened the door wider.

The room was a mess. It was about 100 square feet, with a small bed and a double sofa taking up most of the space. Bottles covered the table, and a bucket overflowed with dirty clothes. Andrew sat on the bed, while Selena and Ann took the sofa.

"How do you plan to help me?" he asked.

"My help comes with conditions," Selena replied.

Andrew scrutinized her, assessing her credibility.

Selena stayed composed, letting him look her over.

Andrew had no other options. He grabbed a cup and took another swig.

"You see my situation. I have nothing to offer," he said.

"I'm interested in your talent. If I help with your ex-wife, you work as a director for my company, only using our scripts."

Selena glanced around. The walls were covered with posters of popular movies and TV shows, showing Andrew hadn't given up on being a director.

Andrew used to be stubborn and serious about his work. He scolded even popular stars for mistakes. So, when he got into trouble, no one defended him. Public opinion was against him, and everyone sympathized with Amanda. Amanda built a public image of a strong woman who suffered domestic violence and infidelity but worked hard after the divorce. This image was popular in the current climate of female empowerment, and Amanda had many fans. She used this image to attract viewers to her TV shows, most of which were about domestic violence and infidelity. Every time a show aired, Andrew was criticized and became a trending topic.

Amanda used Andrew to climb the ladder, even taking over resources he had secured. How could Andrew be content?

"I agree," he said.

"Mr. Newman, once your issues with your ex-wife are resolved, I need you fully committed to making movies or TV shows for my company, with no distractions."

Andrew's face flashed with anger, but he held it back.

"I put my heart into every one of my works!"

Selena took out a contract and placed it in front of him.

"Then sign this."

Andrew didn't even look at the contract. He flipped to the last page and signed.

Selena raised an eyebrow but said nothing. After Andrew signed, she also signed and said, "Amanda has a new show coming out soon. It's being promoted based on her life. You'll probably be criticized again." Andrew's eyes filled with hatred, and he gritted his teeth.

"That bitch!"

Amanda was wary of him. After the divorce, she rarely took his calls or met with him. Andrew had a tough time. His landlord threw out his belongings, and the restaurant owners wouldn't let him work. Forced into a corner, he hid in this forgotten place, living worse than a dog.

His only income was acting as a bodyguard for the women in this alley, known for shady business and frequent trouble from petty thugs. Once a director, Andrew was now a brawler, often fighting thugs and frequently injured, making about four to five hundred dollars a month.

When he was a director, he dealt with multi-million dollar transactions. Now, he earned five hundred dollars a month, covered in injuries. All because of Amanda!
