Hannah spoke as if she didn't notice the embarrassment of the man across her. Her tone was sorrowful, "Ah, honestly, these past two years have been tough for a young woman like me. I thought a handsome, financially affluent man like Director River would be a little more... passionate come night-time. I didn't expect for him to be..."
As she said this, she turned to look outside the window at the beautiful sunny day, shaken her head in exasperation, "It really brings to mind the old saying, if you don't rise, it's a sunny day."
Sputter —
The assistant, who had been blushing and struggling to swallow, had been trying to drink some water to soothe his dry throat, but ended up spitting it all out in surprise. Luckily, he managed to cover his mouth in time to prevent causing any big mess.
However, Hannah stared at the man across her with a disappointed look, "Look at you men, can't even drink water properly."
"I... I'm sorry." The man hurriedly apologised, seeming rather flustered.
Particularly after looking at Hannah's teasing smile and recalling the intentional implications of her words, he blushed.
It turns out that Director River... he didn't expect that such a serious-looking man would be...
After a while, the assistant managed to compose himself, returning to his formal demeanor, "Miss Winter, regarding the termination of the contract, we hope for your cooperation."
"Of course, I will cooperate." Hannah nodded with a smile. Just as the assistant thought he might finally be able to breathe a sigh of relief, Hannah added: "But I have one request. I heard the Shining Star Journey 2 is recruiting participants. I want a spot."
Shining Star Journey 2 is an upcoming talent show that is now selecting participants. Following the success of the first Shining Star Road, all major management companies are trying to squeeze their talents into it.
The show's organizers have also stated that they welcome talented individuals to participate. However, it's pretty obvious that it's almost impossible for an ordinary person to be selected.
This talent show serves as a key plot point in the story and Hannah must participate.
However, according to the rules on the live broadcaster platform, the broadcaster must stick to the original plot or perform extraordinarily to complete the mission. There are strictly no changes in the plot to accommodate the broadcaster.
In other words, even though the protagonist in the original story participated in the talent show, if Hannah does nothing, she would not be able to participate in the talent show. This also means that she would not be able to complete this section of the plot and thus failing the mission.
"This..." The assistant felt a bit embarrassed.
Before he came, Director River explicitly instructed him to handle Hannah casually and not to agree to any of her requests, especially relating to meeting him.
Unsurprisingly, Hannah understood the assistant's dilemma. She didn't rush, merely sipped her coffee and looked outside the window, rhythmically tapping the table with her pale fingertips.
In the end, the assistant gritted his teeth and reluctantly agreed to call George River and ask for his opinion, but he warned that he could not guarantee the results.
Hannah didn't want to make things difficult for the assistant, so she nodded and let him go to make the phone call.
The moment the man left, a notification popped up on her computer.
After the drama just now, she had quickly closed the live broadcast room.
[Master, I'm sorry. Due to my mistake, the live broadcast room was accidentally opened just now. The Live Broadcasting Platform has issued a warning to you, claiming you have deviated from the plot. A yellow card warning.]
