Crystal's heart raced when she saw Tyrone, and Leona whispered encouragingly, "See, I told you your chance would come. I refuse to believe that Mr. York would be so blind as to think you're not leagues beyond Quintessa. You're a thousand times better than her. If Mr. York falls for you, your brother's issues will be sorted in no time. And as for Quintessa, well, she'll see what she's really worth." Crystal blushed, "Stop it, I can't do that. After all, Mr. York is Quinn's boyfriend."
"Don't be silly. Do you even know what Quintessa is like? She's been with every guy on the set. You'd be saving Mr. York, you know?"
"But I..."
"No buts. Come on, Mr. York was looking at you the whole time earlier."
Leona dragged Crystal over to Tyrone, "Hello, Mr. York, Crystal here has something she'd like to say."
With cheeks aflame and mustering her courage, Crystal spoke up, "Mr. York, hello. I'm sorry for bothering you last time. I didn't mean anything by it. My brother works at your company. He's very capable and hardworking, but ever since he joined, he's been suppressed by his superiors. Recently, his superior blamed a mistake in a proposal on him, causing my brother to be wrongly accused. I believe that a big company like yours wouldn't let its employees suffer such injustice. I hope you can clear my brother's name."
"What's your brother's name?"
Thinking her plea had been successful, Crystal excitedly replied, "My brother's Harry Anderson. Thank you, Mr. York. Thank you."
Tyrone made a quick phone call, "James, check if we have someone named Harry Anderson in the company."
"Yes, we do. I know him. He's always cutting corners and barely does any work. Made a mess of a proposal last time, nearly cost the company tens of millions. We're currently reviewing his position." James's description was the complete opposite of Crystal's. It was clear whom to believe. Disgusted, Tyrone said, "Review? Just fire him. My company doesn't carry dead weight."
Crystal was stunned on spot. Why was this happening? Hadn't he just agreed?
Tyrone snorted coldly, "Now, let's talk about my affairs." He raised his voice, "Bring it in."
Before Crystal and Leona knew it, a dozen men entered, carrying a huge barbecue grill. The heat wave hit them before the grill even got close. The grill was set up in a circle around them.
Tyrone, legs crossed and with a sinister look, said, "I heard you're all quite resilient, able to withstand the sun for hours without trouble. Well, let's see how you fare now."
He was using their own tactics against them. They had been cruel to Quintessa, so he'd treat them likewise. The movie wasn't finished, so he couldn't just kick them out or blacklist them. That would affect Quintessa too. But, making them "sunbathe" every single day was definitely fair game.
Crystal's face turned beet red from the scorching heat, "Mr. York, what is this? How can you treat us like this?"
Surrounded by the grill, the already high temperature made their clothes and hair feel like they were singeing. Their heads were overwhelmed by the heat.
Tyrone's laugh was almost devilish, "Why? Because you fricking messed with my woman and then have the audacity to play innocent."
