Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 74

Having said that, she packed up all sorts of snacks and fruits for me, as well as a thermos full of soup.

I could not refuse, so I took everything. It would make a pretty good lunch, at least.

Upon arriving at the office, Heidi reported that preliminary work was underway. The celebrities were all staying in the hotel and the director was giving them their final instructions.

The first filming location was to be indoors, inside a shopping mall. To not disrupt the mall's shops, the filming had been set to begin tomorrow night.

Everyone was doing their own job, and there was nothing much I could help with.

"Wanda..." Heidi did not leave after she finished reporting on work. She hesitated to continue.

"Is there something difficult you want to say to me?" Seeing her reluctance, I had no choice but to prod her o nit.

"Oh, no..." Heidi immediately waved her hands. "It's about work... Sigh, well, Newlight Media said that Sandy has to be the spokesperson, no matter what competition you decide to hold, or..." "Or what?" I was curious. Newlight Media's boss had

not been this stubborn when we had spoken previously. It had only been a few days, but he was already getting so pushy.

Heidi bowed her head, not saying a word.

"Speak!" I raised my voice.

"...Or they will make Grant Corporations face the consequences!" After a pause, she continued, "I think they're just trying to intimidate us. I didn’t want to tell you this at first because your body isn't capable of handling any more pressure at the minute, but I was also really worried."

"Alright, I understand. You can go now."

After Heidi left, I sank into my thoughts. It looked like Newlight Media's backer was threatening me with Grant Corporation. Why had they not directly approached Theo, though?

Although I had no idea how Theo would react to learning about this, after recalling what Xander had said the last time, I did not want to put him in such a difficult position.

Considering Newlight Media's attitude, landing an endorsement was probably not the only thing they wanted. There had to be an even bigger scheme behind this.
