She stopped in her tracks, gently plucking at Gary White's sleeve. "Mr. White, I think perhaps we shouldn't proceed."
Gary paused as well, a look of puzzlement crossing his face as he looked down at her. "Why not? You want to meet Gerard North, don't you?"
This was the sort of meeting many could only dream about. Although Joanna wasn't in the music industry, the chance to meet an industry titan would not be easily dismissed by anyone.
"No, it's not that," Joanna said truthfully. "I'm just... a bit afraid."
"Afraid?" Gary's brow arched, his expression partly amused. "Afraid of what, exactly?"
"I've heard that Gerard North can be quite intimidating. He seems unapproachable." Joanna had a habit of speaking her mind in Gary's presence. The thought of Gerard's formidable reputation instilled some fear in her.
