Chapter 4 - Ego screwing Talent

"I am speaking truth Sir, I got offended enough and I am not going to work in the place where a person like her works. I am quitting this film," Kang He Jee announced

As soon as he announced that talks gossips started in the room and everyone started biting one another's ears. Ji Woon rushed to speak with the director Kang He Jee who is fuming at Haneul who is staring at Kang with disgust

"Kang, she even apologized, let go off the matter. Don't create unnecessary scene here, we already became talk of the set. Before the discussions catch fire, kill that here and start shooting" the producer said seriously

"I am not creating any scene here. I just said what I need, I am quitting this film" Kang He Jee grunted looking at Haneul

"Enough Kang, enough. I am not here to take this unnecessary stupidity of yours. We have a contract with you, you have received enough amount from us, now you can't just walk away like this" the producer put forth his right

"I can walk away from the project citing creative differences and will pay back all the money I received. If you have the rights of a producer, I do have the rights as a citizen and a director. So I can walk away using my rights" Kang He Jee smirked

The producer understood what Kang is trying to do, he understood the fact that his support for Kang's assistant director's idea didn't go well with Kang He Jee's ego. He glanced at the people in the set chirping gossips. The manager of Wi Trin Sook kept questioning him

"Ok Kang, what do you want now?" the producer questioned

"You know that already" Kang He Jee replied

"No, I don't. Will you tell me what will make you continue with your work?" the producer sounded serious but Kang He Jee understood the underlying request

"I absolutely have no problem working with you Sir, all I want is her exit. I don't want an assistant who is this arrogant, I can continue my job if you consider my request. Think well, until then I will catch some fresh air" Kang He Jee gave a small smile

Kang He Jee walked towards Haneul who is fuming with anger, gave her a winning smirk and walked outside

"Sir, how are we supposed to end our contract abruptly with her and how can you expect me to convey the news to her?" Ji Woon questioned the producer who is requesting her to make Haneul quit the job

Inhaling a deep breath, Haneul walked towards Ji Woon and the producer

"Dear Haneul, I understood that you have done nothing wrong here, but as you heard his clear warning; we are left with no other option. We want you to quit the job" Ji Woon stated not looking into Haneul's eyes

"Got in Madam," Haneul looked either way

"I am sorry dear" the producer commented

"Don't be Sir, what will you do when someone has this fat ego. You can't ask him to leave putting your movie and money in risk so you are left with no option except throwing me away. I just want to say something Sir, if you don't cut the plant when it is small we won't be able to chop it down when it turns into a huge tree. I hope you understood what I meant" Haneul walked away from the place stating that

Tears brimmed her eyes when she saw the unwanted looks she is getting, it broke her soul when she understood that her dreams are being chopped of only due to someone's ego. She walked out of the set and went towards the locker room

She felt disgusted of the pity looks she is getting, she tried ignoring those. What killed her from inside is the fact that Kang He Jee will not let this go easily. Knowing his egoistic nature, she understood that getting new job might be difficult to her

"You know how he is like Haneul, you could have avoided speaking before the producer. He hates when someone gets the credit, that is the reason he never allows anyone of us to speak a thing on the set. I feel sorry for you" one of the fellow assistant directors pitied with her

"I never know that showing a bit of talent and being truthful will almost end my career Yok Sreg, anyways it's better I am leaving. I can't keep working under someone who is so insecure about his assistant's success. All the best" Haneul let a small smile dance on her lips

"Take care" Yok Sreg patted her back while hugging

Wrapping up her things, Haneul closed the zipper. She walked out of the room and glanced at the set for one last time, before exiting

"Haneul… Haneul" hearing the screams she turned back only to find Ji Woon panting hard while running to reach her

"I am sorry once again dear, but I promise you that I will help you find a better job next time. I am really impressed with your work and don't worry about anything. Even the producer is happy with you; he promised that he too will give you a chance in his next movie. All the best" Ji Woon smiled catching her breath

"Thank you Mam, I wish I find some work, I know I won't be given a chance by the directors fraternity once the words about my disrespectful behavior reaches their ears and I am sure Kang He Jee will make sure of that. I will try my best" Haneul replied dejected

"Don't worry dearie, nothing of such will happen. You will find a better job. I will call you as soon as I find a deserved vacancy" Ji Woon smiled giving a friendly hug to Haneul

"So, did you get your lesson Arrogant girl?" Kang He Jee smirked smoking his cigar leaning onto his Car

Haneul's eyes spit fire, when he stepped closer to her
