Zena didn't say a word, but there was a surge of great fury in her heart.
"Miss Meng." Seeing that Zena did not speak, Lucy was so anxious that she said again, "Although I don't know why you left the studio, I have been working with you for a long time, and I know that you don't want to leave."
"At the beginning, we had no business, but now our studio is quite famous. Only we know how much we have suffered to make progress. Especially you, when the studio had just been established, how many days and nights did you work overtime there?"
"You don't know how shocked we were after you said those words and left. We didn't want to leave you, and we thought that you would come back sooner or later and work with us again. So, we made up our mind that no matter who would take over the studio temporarily, we must work hard, because we didn't want to waste your efforts. We just wanted to wait for you to come back."
"But now, even if we don't want to leave, there's nothing we can do. Miss Meng..."
Zena closed her eyes, "Stop it."
She said these two simple words with all her strength.
How could she not understand Lucy's words? How could she not be distressed and painful?
She was confused, and her mind was in a mess.
She blamed herself for being impulsive. She agreed to Jimmy's request without thinking about the consequences. She was too angry, so she did not talk about the development of the studio and the work of the staff with Jimmy.
She didn't even think about these problems.
She only thought that... even if Jimmy took back the studio, he would ask someone else to manage it. These employees had worked with her for so many years, so nothing bad would happen to the studio. However, she was wrong.
Of course, it was her fault. She didn't think about this matter considerately and thoroughly.
"Miss Meng, you..."
"Lucy, did he say anything else? Did he mention what would happen to our studio in the future?" This was what she cared about the most at the moment.
"Well... we asked him, but he didn't tell us either. He only said that it was not something we should care about."
Zena gritted her teeth. She knitted her eyebrows tightly and her heart was in a mess.
"Miss Meng, what should we do? If they don't want to run the studio anymore, we..." When she saw Zena's expression, she couldn't bear to finish the rest of her words.
This studio was not only the brainchild of Zena. Every employee in the studio put a lot effort into it. They watched it become famous and successful, and no one wanted to see such a result.
Moreover, when they begun to work in the studio, some of them had just graduated from college, and some of them had had several years of working experience. After so many years, they were no longer young girls. Even if they found a new job, they couldn't get a pleasing pay. After all, everyone in this circle knew that young employees were more popular.
"I know what you want to say." Zena sighed, "But, Lucy, I... Well, I am quite confused now. Maybe I can't think of a good solution right now."
Hearing this, Lucy naturally felt a little disappointed in heart, but she knew that she
could only wait, and she couldn't be too anxious.
"But, don't worry, I will definitely give all of you a satisfactory explanation. You trust me, don't you?"
Looking at Zena's face, Lucy was silent for a while. Then, she nodded gently.
"By the way, where are the others? Have they left the studio?"
