However, now that Myles had offended someone he shouldn't have and gotten him involved, Spencer found no reason to hold back anymore.
After all, he couldn't stand Myles any longer. As for the TV station's viewership, it was a matter to be dealt with on a different day.
Upon their departure, Brody and Myles went to a café near the TV station.
“Mr. Carling, what happened? Since when did Spencer have the cheek to sack you?”
Pressing a hot egg to his swollen face, Myles knew Spencer like the back of his palm.
“Duncan will never put himself in a disadvantageous position. I think Donald is probably someone important which explains the audacity he has shown me.”
“In that case, what should we do? My starlets... No, what I wanted to say, Mr. Carling, is that are you going to let Pollerton TV Station kick you out just like that?”
Myles sneered, “After what Spencer has done, I will return the favor to him. Does he really think that I am at his mercy? Today, I'm going to show him that Pollerton TV Station will not be able to function without me.”
No sooner had Myles spoken than Fulbert entered the café with a group of production crew members. In the blink of an eye, the previously empty café was filled to the brim.
Brody was first stunned by the sight before giving Myles a thumbs up.
“This is brilliant, Mr. Carling. You have pulled the rug from underneath their feet!”
The production crew of the reality show numbered fifty. As most of the core members had worked with Myles for a long time, most of their loyalty lay with him.
Now that I have been fired, I'm sure it's fine for me to take all my subordinates with me, isn't it? After all, they have quit by themselves, and you, Spencer, can do nothing about it.
Now that only a few low-level crew members and part-time actors were left at the set, Myles was curious to see how Spencer was going to beg him to go back.
“Mr. Quantrill, why don't we make a bet to see when Spencer will request my return?”
“Sure. What do you have in mind?”
