Avery blushed awkwardly.

Since you are asking, Eric will surely agree to it," Eric's manager said without hesitating. "Once he is done with work, I'll let him know." "May I ask how much his endorsement fee is? You can tell me, and I'll discuss it with Eric," Avery said.
"Are you planning to sign him on based on his market rate?" the manager chuckled. "His endorsement fee isn't cheap. Just last month, a makeup company wanted him to be their spokesperson. They wanted him to be their company's spokesperson. Are you planning to get him to be your company's spokesperson or are you signing him on to endorse a single product?" "The company's spokesperson," Avery said.
"Oh, his charges for that are high! The makeup company offered him a nine-figure contract." The manager was afraid that the amount would scare Avery, so he chose to give her a vague view of the amount she would be paying if she chose to sign Eric on. Avery was not frightened at all. She knew that Eric's popularity had soared these past few years, and he had been working really hard on acting and performing. His works were often on the trending list.
"Other companies discuss the endorsement contracts with you, right?" Avery asked.

As even if I were to tell him about it, he would still call you. I won't be the middleman in this contract. You know his temper. When he is compliant, he is fully compliant, and when he is resistant, he is fully resistant. He would rather quit than listen to what I have to say." "Hmm. Did he accept to be the makeup company's deal?" Avery asked.
"No! It all depends on his mood, and whether he wants to accept it or not. The price does not matter." The manager laughed haughtily, "Do you know why he didn't accept to be the makeup company's spokesperson?" "No, I don't. If he didn't accept it, there must be something wrong with the company!" "How could there be something wrong with the company? If they were willing to pay such a high price for his services, then it surely shows that they are not a small company! They are internationally renowned. Many celebrities dream of being their spokesperson! Eric had rejected them before they hired someone he did not like to recommend their products. Do you know why he did that?" Avery did not know why Eric had done that. She only knew there was a difference between being a spokesperson for the company and being a spokesperson for a product.
"It's basically where the company pays a few celebrities to help them advertise their products once. They were not even the product's spokesperson." The manager took a jab. "I can only say that Eric is not short on cash, so he can be more capricious." "He hasn't taken on many endorsements." Avery rarely saw Eric endorsing anything. On the contrary, she only saw other famous celebrities endorsing things.
"Yes! Actually, many companies want him to endorse their products, but he rejected them all. He wants to focus on his music and acting career. Entertainment programs are all the rage right now, right? Many programs wanted him on their show and offered him a high price for his services, but he did not sign any contracts with them either." The manager sounded extremely sad about that. "I have worked with so many celebrities. He could have gotten money without doing anything, yet he refused to sign any of those contracts." "Respect his wishes! The most important thing in work is to be happy." "How can I disrespect him when he does not even listen to me?!" The manager chuckled in amusement. "He is almost done with work. He has seentalking on the phone." "Then, why don't you talk to him about it!" Avery was suddenly a little nervous. After hearing what Eric's manage had said, she suddenly felt like she had been pushing a little too much. Eric did not like being a spokesperson, and yet, that was what she wanted him to do for her. The manager agreed and hung up.
About five minutes later, Eric took his phone back and called Avery.
