Chapter 890

"So, every time they call your name, we'll have to deduct some money."

I had no idea that rule existed. "Just get on with the rules," Vania said. The suspense is killing me.

The director chuckled. "According to our calculations, you were recognized about three thousand times in half an hour."

"So, does that mean we need to pay you instead?" she asked coolly.

She was thunderstruck. What the hell are they trying to do this time?

Then, she pulled her pockets out. "You confiscated my phone and wallet, and now I have no money." I can't pay them.

Hanson never thought the day would come when a billionaire like himself couldn't afford a screen protector.

The director gave them a cryptic smile before he told Vania she didn't have to pay. "I'm just saying you need to pay with the money you currently have."

"So, does that mean we don't have any money left for the trip?"

"That is correct." The director grinned as he didn't think that was wrong.

Vania smiled dryly. "I think we can pack up and go home now." She turned to the camera seriously. "I'm not abandoning the set. They just won't let me progress." Hey, you made the bed, so lie in it.

'Whoa. She just wiped the smile off the director's face.'

'Let's see how he's gonna settle this.'

'Oh, he looks upset.'

The director was in a big pickle. I can't believe they would threaten me yet again. Fine. I can't win against them, so I'll relent. He was bemused and miffed while scratching his nose before he suggested carefully, "Why don't you work a second time?"

What? "No way," Vania refused adamantly. She wouldn't play along, and that was it. Gotta be firm.

'Oh, she's throwing down the gauntlet. Ball's in your court, director.'

'I feel sorry for him. Just a bit.'

'He looks scared.'

The director sighed at the camera. "So, what should I do now, fans?"

He needed to ask for help. All his plans went awry. Mostly because he didn't expect them to finish their job in half an hour. There was another half an hour left before the crew's class was done and he didn't want to let the hype die down.

The ratings were crazy, after all.

The director had given up, but the fans weren't. They kept giving him ideas, though most of them took the Luke couple's side.

'Don't take their money, then. Let them join the trip.'

'Oh, he's taking risks with his career, alright.'

'Hanson still isn't talking. Wonder if he's coming up with a crazy plan. I worry for the director.'

'Same. Poor guy.'

The director noticed all the sympathetic comments in the chat room, and he started pitying himself as well. How did this happen? In the end, he gave in to the couple and agreed to let them join the trip.
