Considering Katsuragi and Watanabe's reactions after Chazawa dropped the bombshell, it is more like they can't say no.
As far as it goes, Katsuragi and Watanabe had to pull many stunts to get the contract with Yotaka (hence why you saw both of them negociating with several employees, be it the editor in chief or the Organization head). As such, it isn't like they are in position to do as they see fit.

Therefore, it is very likely that in such instance, Yotaka would have the last say, and if the author of their current best seller is unhappy with the anime, it isn't surprising for them to complain to the studio.
Likewise, it also explains why Watanabe and Katsuragi had to comply when Chazawa asked them a PV out of the blue.

Even though it is quite rare, there are series that the author has the final word.
