Janet gazed at Brandon. As soon as she saw Brandon nod, Janet answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Draco! What the hell is wrong with you?! How many times did I call you? Why didn't you answer till now?" On the phone, the woman sounded really irritated.
Janet clarified, "It's not Draco. This is Janet, his assistant designer. How may I assist you?"
For a moment, the woman was speechless. When she had regained her composure, she remarked in a calm tone, "I'm Zuri, the main organizer of this year's Iridescent Show. Have you got Draco there with you right now? Give the phone to him."
Zuri had been in contact with Draco since she started preparing for the show. Earlier that day, she learned that Draco had boarded the aircraft. Zuri had her assistant go pick up Draco from the airport, but her employee never returned with him.
Zuri sent a message inquiring about Draco's whereabouts. Draco, though, did not respond.
As Zuri watched the evening news, she discovered that Draco's flight had been canceled. She tried to call Draco to find out what was going on, but he never picked up.
She was the show's main organizer, it turned out.
After realizing that, Janet said, "No worries here; Mr. Wesley is doing great. It's just a mere accident. We need some time to handle the situation."
Janet refrained from mentioning Draco's poisoning.
"What is Draco up to, anyway? Do you know that I have placed Draco in a pivotal role in the show? All of the models and settings are in place, and he's going to open the show for us! If Draco does not show up, we will suffer a significant loss!" Zuri's statements were incisive, and her strength and decisiveness were evident.
In a state of helplessness, Janet started to explain, but Zuri cut her off. "Tomorrow morning, the show will begin! Tell me! What is it going to be? Will Draco be there or not?"
