My Mute Bride

My Mute Bride Chapter 192

“Look out!” Rachel stopped her assistant from falling. If it weren’t for her, the assistant would have crashed into the lighting prop, and that’d be disastrous. “Are you alright?”

Her assistant paled from the shock. “Thank you, Chris.”

The one who shoved her assistant was a harsh-looking young lady. “Serves you right.” Then, she picked the chair and left.

Rachel didn’t want to get into any arguments, but she wouldn’t let her assistant get pushed around like that. “Hold it right there!”

The harsh lady frowned. “What do you want?”

“Apologize.” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“What did you say?” The harsh lady couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “Why should I? She tried to take Miss Amber’s stuff. If anyone should be apologizing, it’s her!”

“First of all, I don’t see Amber’s name anywhere on the chair. And I don’t think you brought it yourself.”

“But…” The harsh lady gritted her teeth. “But Miss Amber has been using this chair all this time. Are you a newbie? Don’t you know the rules around here, old lady? Do you know who Miss Amber is? She’s the most popular doctor on the show.”

Rachel ignored her. “And secondly, even if this is her chair, that doesn’t mean you can push anyone however you want. You’re lucky she’s alright, but if she’s not, there’ll be hell to pay,” she said coldly.

“That’s just unreasonable!” The harsh lady glared at Rachel. “I’m not arguing with you. Miss Amber is waiting for me.”

“Take one more step and I’m suing you for battery.”

The harsh lady was finally looking scared.

But just then, a woman said, “I can hear you from the next booth over. Rachel, ever since you can talk, you’ve been quite aggressive. And now you’re targeting a helpless intern?”

Obviously, the woman was Amber the b*tch. She was a guest the channel invited, so she had to come for a shoot every week for her show.

Coincidentally, Rachel was also invited to talk about the mass production of Burton Pharmaceuticals, so they ran into each other.

Amber stood before Rachel and told the onlookers, “This lady here, Chris, used to be a mute. Guess that’s a surprise, huh? But then, she miraculously started talking after twenty years of being a mute. If it were me, I’d talk about your experience instead of the new meds. After all, that’s loads better than some fancy new item, right?”

The crowd was buzzing with excitement.

However, Rachel answered calmly, “If they’re interested, then I don’t mind sharing my experience, but that’s for another day. Your assistant almost hurt someone, but she’s still not apologizing.”

Amber replied nonchalantly, “Just that? Sophie, just say sorry.”

Sophie was surprised, but a moment later, she said reluctantly, “I’m sorry. Happy?” She glared at Rachel and Lisa.

“She said sorry. Can we go now?” Amber asked, then she told Sophie to take the chair away.

The onlookers were about to go on with their own business, thinking that this was the end of it, but Rachel suddenly said, “Amber, you don’t need to work today. Just here to inform you.”

“I’m sorry?”

“No. Not just today. You don’t have to come ever again,” Rachel continued calmly.

“Huh? What makes you think you can say that?” Amber scoffed. “You’re just Burton Pharm’s sales director. Justin might have let you handle the company, but this is the studio. They invited me to host this show. You don’t have the right to fire me.”

“We’ll see about that in a minute.” Rachel called someone right there and then. “David, I’ve thought about it, and I accept your offer.”

David? Amber’s face fell. “David? Which David?”

Rachel hung up and smirked. “You should know. There aren’t many Davids in the studio.”

Before Amber could form her thoughts, a production assistant came over from the next booth. “I’m sorry, Dr. Hudson, but a situation popped up. We can’t record the show today.”

“What do you mean you can’t record the show?”

“It’s a new notice. Your show is canceled. This week is the last episode. There will be a new show next week.”

Amber looked upset, and Sophie was angered. “How can you do this? We’ve prepared the content, and the rehearsals are done.”

“I’m sorry. We’ll pay the final sum as soon as possible. Sorry for the trouble.”

“Why you…”

“Sophie.” Amber stopped her. “Don’t trouble them. It’s just normal for the studio. We aren’t as powerful as a certain someone, and that’s on us.”

Rachel replied calmly, “Instead of being all sarcastic with me, you should think about your future after your show’s cancellation. The company won’t tolerate any slackers.”

Amber finally lost her composure. First, Rachel’s team crushed her team, and now her show-which she worked hard for-was canceled. There was nothing else she could contribute.

“Let’s go, Lisa.” Rachel then added, “And take the chair.”

Amber almost went on a rampage right away.

Lisa took the chair right in front of Rachel and Sophie, but this time, she was confident. “Sorry for the trouble, Chris.” She put the chair down and gave Rachel an apologetic look.

“It’s fine. It’s not your fault. You can’t reason with an unreasonable person, so you’ll have to take a… different approach, so to speak.”

Lisa nodded.

Later, Amber left the recording hall and waited for her assistant in her car, but then she heard the staff members who came out engaging in a discussion.

“Did you see that? One call from Chris and the boss canceled Amber’s show. Awesome.”

“Who is she? She’s just a sales director, right? Amber’s Mr. Burton’s fiancée. How did she even find the courage to stand up to her?”

“Oh, you don’t know? Chris is Justin’s ex-wife.”

“Wait, what? Really?”

“I have a friend who’s working in Burton Group. It’s true. Chris is Justin’s daughter’s mother. She even went to see him in the company, and they had dinner together. I’m sure it’s true.”

“I see. So she’s legit. Amber’s just a mistress. No wonder she’s scared of Chris.”

The discussion went on.
