Chapter 205: You Wouldn’t Dare
Susan looked around the office in horror and saw the camera in the corner.
Her face became pale as if she had seen a ghost. Then she said calmly, “Even if there is a camera monitor, what can it do? I don’t believe that others can watch the monitor screen and hear what I said?”
“They can’t see it, but they can hear it.” Hazel pressed a button on the phone, and Susan’s arrogant voice came from the speaker. “Although I don’t have as much money as him, now I am very…”
Susan’s face filled with dread, and she wanted to attack. She was not willing to bow down to Hazel, she clenched her teeth and said, “Even if you have a recording and upload it to the Internet, I can guarantee that it will not spread!”
“Susan, you are so…” Hazel thought carefully about what words she should use and softly said, “You are so innocent, how have you survived for so long?
Although you have been in the country only a short time, you have offended many people. I just simply hand it to them, and they would be happy to let it spread.”
“You wouldn’t dare?” Susan panicked.
What Hazel said was right, she had offended many people, and they had been exposing her behavior. Her team was competent, though, and had been covering up the majority of her actions quickly. Therefore, her reputation on the Internet was not the best, but it could have been worse.
Susan knew things were different, and if the negative publicity fell into the wrong hands, she would not be able to control it.
Hazel sneered with a chuckle, and she looked at the time on the phone, said indifferently, “You still have seven minutes.”
Susan was more flustered, but she growled, “Hazel! If you bully me like this, my cousin will hate you!”
“Six minutes.” Hazel still looked indifferent.
“You…!” Seeing that Hazel was serious about the situation, Susan said furiously, “You delete the recordings and videos first, then I will call!”
“Oh, five minutes,” Hazel said, “I have called a few people in such a short time. Will you be able to do it? I guess I can still sort things out and sell it to those who were offended by you ……”
Hazel’s attitude was apparent, and she simply was not going to compromise with Susan. Susan couldn’t keep going anymore. She quickly took out her mobile phone and said in a panic. “Wait, I will make a call now!”
Susan started making calls as fast as her fingers could dial the numbers.
Mathew stood off to the side in shock. He had dealt with Susan, and so he knew how arrogant and unreasonable she was. Could Hazel really make Susan be obedient?
Five minutes later, Susan finally finished the call. This was the first time she has suffered a loss, and she hated Hazel.
“I called, and now you should fulfill your promise,” Susan endured with anger. “Delete the recordings and videos!”
Hazel nodded. “So, to express my sincerity, I will delete the recording first. As for the surveillance video…”
“Hazel, you played me!” Susan’s face was angry and distorted.
Susan was annoyed and began to rush at her, Hazel looked at the monitor uncaringly. Susan glared at her, but she could not do anything more.
“How could I play you?” She smiled lightly. “I didn’t say I would delete it or not. Who is to say that if I delete it, you don’t make more calls? Don’t worry, when the ribbon cutting of Joshua-Hazel Pictures is over, it will be deleted.”
“I don’t believe you!” Susan growled. “If you don’t keep your promise?”
“Then you will suffer a huge loss.” Hazel looked at her with a smile.
Susan was stunned and couldn’t speak. Truly, if Hazel did not keep her promise, Susan could only wait silently and accept the loss. Hazel was playing hardball and was not going to bargain.
“Miss Edwards, please leave,” Mathew said. He said impatiently. “We are very busy today, so don’t mess things up.”
Susan was even more annoyed, but this is the first time she has suffered such a big loss. Hazel had played her, and she looked down on her even more than before. Also, a director who begged her relentlessly began to treat her with arrogance, how could she continue to endure being treated that way?
“Busy? How can you be busy?” Susan sneered. “Isn’t it a show for you to watch? Do you think there will be important people coming here? Mathew, you think you can have an unknown actor make this ribbon-cutting ceremony become a high profile event? You are really deceiving yourself…”
Her words had not been finished, and there was a rush of footsteps outside the office.
A female employee was panicked, she pushed open the door of the office and said, “Something has happened, Director Mathew. There are a lot of people here for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. We do not have enough staff to handle it…”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Mathew was prepared to reprimand her for rushing into the office without knocking, but after hearing what she said, he was too shocked to really speak. He finally managed to say, “A lot of people are here? Who is coming?”
“It’s really a drama!” Susan snorted.
“What is going on? Some famous people are coming, and who they are is going to scare you!” The employee said, without giving Susan a chance to speak. “There is Denmark Group’s president Joshua Denmark and the Anderson family’s Isaac Anderson, Chairman of T Entertainment, the Ministry of Culture for the City…”
Listening to the list of names she reported, almost everyone was a very important person. Mathew was in shock and couldn’t speak, Susan was even more jealous and hateful. Her face was twisted with rage.
Since Joshua was attending, others would naturally follow his lead. Susan was furious, she couldn’t understand why, even if Joshua invested in the film industry, why did he needed to make it such an ordeal?
“First, you need to find a few people and go to borrow some chairs,” Hazel arranged in an orderly way. “Director, you contact the ceremonial company, ask them to arrange for a few more hostesses. And…”
Hazel continued to list orders as she walked out of her office.
Susan caught up with her, “Hazel!”
Hazel’s face was cold, and even when she was not busy, she did not have the time or patience to deal with Susan. She was busy now, trying to solve the unanticipated crowd. She was in no mood to deal with her.
“I will give you ten seconds to get out of my sight!” Hazel opened her mouth coldly, “Otherwise, I will release the video at the ribbon-cutting ceremony!”
“You…” Susan waited anxiously for her.
“Ten.”
Susan heard Hazel continuing to count down, Susan gritted her teeth and ran towards the elevator, but it did not arrive immediately. Susan could not listen to Hazel count anymore, she rushed to the stairs.
