As footsteps came from outside the door, Roger and Edie walked in silently. They exchanged a glance and for the first time did not quarrel.
Baron saw the two of them from the corner of his eyes before telling Hazel something and hanging up the phone.
“Baron, we are friends who grew up together. You shouldn’t bear the responsibility alone.”
Roger’s lie made Leon come back to the country. So Roger was grounded by Colin for several days. He said to Colin that the family was not complete without Leon and spent a lot of effort to persuade Colin. Only then did he become free again. He had waited for a few days before contacting Baron just now.
No one knew the huge secret behind the Plum Blossom Organization.
If the Floyd Group went bankrupt, Magemoor’s economy would undergo huge turmoil. Then both the Turner family and the Garnett family would be complicated.
Roger’s appearance here meant that Colin had done everything he could to work with the Floyd Group. The Turner family did not make an obvious opinion about this, but Edie’s appearance proved that they did not object.
One could know the true attitude of a person when he was in difficulty. Although Baron didn’t believe anyone, now he put down his guard.
The three of them seemed to have returned to their childhood when they secretly played with mud together.
“I think it’s the best way to start with Leonel.”
She was a little bit familiar with Leonel. So approaching him as his fan made sense. There was no sense of disharmony. When she was in Hawaii, she said that she admired him a lot.
“He looks like a gentleman. I didn’t expect him to be so unbearable.”
Roger curled his lips, her face full of mockery. He was worried about Edie.
“Don’t judge a person like this before things are clear, okay?”
As a hardcore fan, Edie wanted to defend her idol. She stood up and said angrily to Roger, “You narrow-minded man, are you jealous?”
“I’m jealous? Are you mad?”
Edie and Roger would bicker just at the beginning of a conversation! The quarrel was a must-do for them.
They shouted a few words and stopped. They wanted to split up.
Roger would study the unknown virus from Plum Blossom Organization with Leon and find a way to solve this problem. In addition, he would help Baron solve the hotel thing in the United States.
“I will get close to Leonel and find a way to follow him to Union Club,” Edie thought for a moment and said.
After all, as a girl who had been abroad for a long time, she was quite experienced. She had watched the horror movie “Hostel”. And the most terrifying part was that everything in the movie had really happened.
In some places, one could exchange for a gun full of bullets and a person who was willing to be killed by you for just 10 thousand. Those people were sick. They didn’t care about anything in order to gain happiness.
Edie knew exactly how difficult it was. But she also liked such excitement and something which could arise things in the depths of her heart.
“Baron, this is not just for you, but for the Turner Group.”
Edie sounded righteous. She did not want Baron to owe her too many favors. Everyone said that the CEO of the Floyd Group was cold and detached, but only those who knew him knew the warmth in his heart.
But few people could really know him.
The rain on the grassland lasted for two days, so the filming was stopped. There were only two days left before the broadcast of this program. The director, Nevil Grossman, was in terrible shape. He had several blisters on his mouth because of anger.
After filming, work like post-production, editing, subtitles, and special effects also needed to be done. The celebrities participating in the reality show needed to get back for filming and advertising. So this program could not be delayed.
But the rain made the program less eye-catching. Especially Aliyah, whose boss had made a lot of investments, often complained.
“No, it’s raining wet. How can I ride a horse? Moreover, the rain would ruin my makeup. It’s too embarrassing.”
Aliyah kept complaining. She looked really terrible with her bare face, with her acne marks visible. They were even ups and downs on her face, which needed the help of foundation liquid and concealer. If she removed her makeup, her bare face would be seen, and then many fans would unfollow her. So Aliyah firmly objected to filming like this.
“Mr. Grossman, it’s raining, and the road is slippery. Perhaps it’s not safe, right?”
Elva was smarter than Aliyah and spoke more euphemistically. The director nodded. Indeed, this needed to be taken seriously.
“But the preview has already finished. Is it too late to change it now?”
The staff was in a dilemma. Looking at the dark sky, they did not know when the rain would stop. The weather forecast had deceived them. Last week, they checked the weather forecast for the next fifteen days and found it was sunny.
“If some changes need to be made, we need a more effective plan. At least it should be more innovative than the previous one so that it can surprise the audience.”
The director was silent for a long time. He gathered the staff so that they could come up with a good idea alone.
But riding horses seemed to be the only activity in a grassland like this.
“The lightning rain on the grassland is very scary.”
Aliyah shivered, with her arms crossed. In the distance, lightning tore through the sky, producing a huge hole in the air and followed by rumbling thunder and trembling earth.
“Mr. Grossman, I have a good idea.”
Elva’s eyes lit up, and a dark light flashed in her eyes. Even if she could not succeed this time, she immediately thought of a way to make Hazel suffer.
“What is it?”
“The director discussed it with the staff, but he didn’t like their ideas. The program would not be attractive enough without a gimmick after a change. Then the ratings would drop.
“Mr. Grossman, do you know the scary game Pen Fairy?”
Elva looked at Hazel with a faint smile. When they were in college, two of her roommates went crazy and had to quit school after playing this game and attracting something evil. However, Elva knew that there were no ghosts at all. They were just scaring themselves.
After the game, her two roommates became suspicious, always thinking that they had been possessed by a ghost. In the dormitory, they would put chopsticks straight in the water and scattered glutinous rice and copper coins everywhere, trying to scare away evil spirits. It looked rather strange.
The two of them were incompatible with the other girls in the dormitory. They even had to go to the bathroom together at night. In fact, they were not crazy, but just unlucky.
Elva had a big rabbit in the dormitory and put it in the middle of the hanger with a white muslin dress that she often wore. Because of the hot summer, they opened the door of the dormitory, and the rabbit jumped out the door with the hanger.
At night, the two girls went to the bathroom together, only to see a headless woman in a white muslin dress floating in the corridor under the dim light. They were too scared to scream before they fainted.
Only Elva knew about what had happened, but Hazel knew nothing about it and was also very scared.
