It’s late, you should go sleep.” “Tellplease, Wanda... | promise to be a s tight lipped as a mummy...” | closed the door, blocking out Cecilia's voice. That girl was always saying nonsensical things.

Once in my room, | continued working on my laptop. Heidi had prepared a proposal for the show, and | had to check through i The work for the preparation stage was almost done now. It would be a busy period of tforsoon.

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

The next task in line was to | 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 | asked you guys to chere 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. | 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.” | stood up and extended my hand. “On behalf of the Grant o work on the online marketing This was definitely the fastest production program in history. | 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 | know | would bump into Theo and Mason at the office entrance.

We had not met since the last tin the restaurant. During that time, he had seemed to revert to what he used to be like -aloof and unresponsive towards me.

| had deliberately planned my schedule around him, making sure we would not meet each other during work hours. It was because of that that | 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.

| felt a little awkward. | 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 ssoup for you. I'll send it over later.” Dark clouds briefly cover Theo's eyes before dissipating into nothingness. He did not say a word. | could not read his expressions nor did | had any idea what was going on in his mind.

| nodded before leaving hastily as if | was running away from something. Heidi glanced atquestioningly. “You guys “It's nothing. Let's go. Director Leid’s waiting,” Director Leid was a director | 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.

Sof the more competitive segments would be done there since the water thpark 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 | 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.

What do you think Director Leid was indeed a workaholic. H e had started work-related discussions the moment | arrived.

“I have no problem with your adjustments, Director Leid. | trust you.” I skimmed through the adjusted proposal and saw that he had indeed done ssubstantial 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 givea guided tour through the different segments and intended shooting styles.

It was exceptionally hot today. After a short while, | started to feel dizzy and nauseous. | held it in for as long as | could until it got too much. | rushed toward a resting area at the side.

| felt better after retching for a while. Heidi saw how unwell | was and said, ” Wanda, please rest here. There isn’t much left to see, so I'll go on your behalf and report whatever | see to you later.” Inodded.

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

A pair of hands suddenly reached over from behindand took over the massaging. | shot up with fright.
