The Woman From Hell

I pushed her extremely curious face away and made my way to the bedroom. “Don’t be nosy. It’s late,

you should go sleep.”

“Tell me please, Wanda… I promise to be a s tight lipped as a mummy…” I closed the door, blocking

out Cecilia’s voice. That girl was always saying nonsensical things.

Once in my room, I continued working on my laptop. Heidi had prepared a proposal for the show, and I

had to check through i

The work for the preparation stage was almost done now. It would be a busy period of time for me

soon.

For the next few days, I was the first in and the last out at work. Sometimes I did not even have the

time to eat.

The groundwork of the talent searching show had been established now, and all the participants had

signed their contracts. There was a lot to do and very little time. The next task in line was to

I paused for a moment before continuing, “This is a new product now. According to Grant Corporation’s

usual practice, new products are only endorsed by a new ambassador. But….”

“But what?” Sandy’s manager hurriedly asked.

“We don’t want to let go of such a good ambassador like Sandy, so this is also the reason why I asked

you guys to come here today. We plan to hold a competition like a celebrity reality show and let the

audience vote and decide for the ambassador.”

“You mean a competition between celebrities?” George and his manager exchanged a glance. Their

faces changed color. I guessed my suggestion was beyond their expectations.

“President Manson, don’t worry. We will consider the reputation of the celebrities i In this competition

and won’t make things difficult for them. I also believe in Sandy’s ability.” I stood up and extended my

hand. “On behalf of the Grant

This was definitely the fastest production program in history. I had given it a timeline of only 20 days to

go from preparation to recording, but by the looks of things, the timespan would not be a problem.

It was just how the world worked. As long as there was a sufficient amount of money, there was nothing

one could not d o. Everything was going smoothly thanks to the support of a financial giant-the Grant

Corporation.

It was on my agenda today to go for a site visit. Little did I know I would bump into Theo and Mason at

the office entrance.

We had not met since the last time in the restaurant. During that time, he had seemed to revert to what

he used to be like -aloof and unresponsive towards me.

I had deliberately planned my schedule around him, making sure we would not meet each other during

work hours. It was because of that that I had really not expected to bump into him today.

rigid, coldness rolling off of him naturally. It was as if he had not even

seen me.

I felt a little awkward. I did not know whether to say hi or not.

Fortunately, Mason broke the tense atmosphere by saying, “You’ve been having problems with your

digestive system lately, right? I told Cain about it, and he’s prepared some soup for you. I’ll send it over

later.”

Dark clouds briefly came over Theo’s eyes before dissipating into nothingness. He did not say a word. I

could not read his expressions nor did I had any idea what was going on in his mind. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

I nodded before leaving hastily as if I was running away from something. Heidi glanced at me

questioningly. “You guys

“It’s nothing. Let’s go. Director Leid’s waiting,” Director Leid was a director I had specifically invited

over. He was the king of variety show programs, and with him involved, it would be very unlikely

The seis had been separated into an outdoor and an indoor set so they would look more interesting to

the viewers. The indoor set would involve jewelry-related Segments, and it was located at a Grant

owned mall

The outdoor segment was there solely to increase the fun element of the show. To get viewers even

more interested, Director Leid had chosen a Grant-owned water park in the country.

Some of the more competitive segments would be done there since the water theme park was a good

background and it would not be too difficult for the artists t o complete the challenges.

When we got there, Director Leid was in the midst of instructing the crew on setting up a temporary

stage for the show.

Thank you for your hard work, Director Leid.” Heidi and I walked in with fruits and drinks in our hands.

“You’re too kind, Director Lane. I’ve changed the proposal up a little since we will have to adjust what

we’ve already.

planned out, adapt to our venue, and set suitable rules with just the short amount of time we have on

our hands. What do you think

Director Leid was indeed a workaholic. H e had started work-related discussions the moment I arrived.

“I have no problem with your adjustments, Director Leid. I trust you.” I skimmed through the adjusted

proposal and saw that he had indeed done some substantial work. He had amended several shortfalls

from the initial proposal and increased the number of fun and watchable elements within the show.

“Great! I’ll have Winnie show you around set, Director Lane. Please excuse me.” Director Leid sent

Winnie, his assistant, t o give me a guided tour through the different segments and intended shooting

styles.

It was exceptionally hot today. After a short while, I started to feel dizzy and nauseous. I held it in for as

until it got too much. I rushed toward a resting area at the side.

I felt better after retching for a while. Heidi saw how unwell I was and said, ” Wanda, please rest here.

There isn’t much left to see, so I’ll go on your behalf and report whatever I see to you later.”

Inodded.

After Heidi left, I sat on the chair and closed my eyes. My hands massaged my temples.

A pair of hands suddenly reached over from behind me and took over the massaging. I shot up with

fright.
