1 The worst day ever

"Can't you guys turn off that phone call?" Nadine shouted when she was in front of her office after all the way she heard the only sound of a phone ring following her step.

The woman who had followed her from the start looked terrified as well as the other employees who were preparing for the emergency meeting on this supposedly sunny morning and now become cloudy because the situation.

"All the actresses and actors who are under the management of our company suddenly terminate their contracts unilaterally."

Nadine held back her irritation by trying to keep smiling and then took a step closer to the woman who served as director.

"Then why don't you sue them all? Do you need me to send you to go to school again?"

The director whose name was Marina then lowered her gaze, she could not hold back Nadine's gaze which could make her have a heart attack at her age that is no longer young.

Now Nadine was already in the meeting room along with some of her staff to talk about the departure of all her artists in her company.

"You all shouldn't just let them break the contract. Why should we make a contract if they can leave whenever they want? Then what about the penalty?" Nadine hasn't stopped screaming since she entered the meeting room. It felt like her brain was burning hearing news that she never imagined before.

"They have to pay all the losses to this company with brands that have used them so far."

"They've already paid all the losses for the unilateral termination of their contract, but the news spreads very fast and the public thinks our company is in trouble. Our company's stock has gone down by thirty percent, we won't be able to survive if the investors pull their shares."

Nadine sighed heavily, she leaned back in her chair which was like a throne that now felt painful. She built this company with her hard work despite rumors that her stepfather founded the company. Nadine was already very sick of people who take her success for granted and if her company collapses everyone will laugh at her.

"Then what about our models? We can designate them as actors and actresses. "

"They have also left, there is nothing left except company employees they have brought their manager and the team that has taken care of them so far."

Nadine was laughing now and it works to make everyone shiver even more scared and sure enough after that Nadine pounded the table so hard that everyone gasped.

"I pay you not to just tell the problem, then where is the solution?"

Nadine looked demanding at each of her staff. Everyone frowned, looking both desperate and afraid.

"There is a contract making a movie adapted from a famous novel that was supposed to be played by one of our actors and they still don't know this news because they come from outside country. If the movie is a success then our company name will be raised again and we can start recruiting new actresses and actors."

"But most professional actors have their management so it is very difficult to find famous actors who we can ask to join our company. "

Nadine started typing her fingers on the table which meant if she was thinking.

"This afternoon, I'll wait until this afternoon and immediately send me the profiles of actors that we should invite to join our company or we get buried together," Nadine said without rebuttal and that means it is an order which means it must be carried out no matter what.

Nadine then got up and smiled meaningfully and say, "Remember my father is very rich, losing this company will not starve me, but different from you all guys ... It will be more difficult to find a job for an employee whose company that you worked for before went bankrupt because other companies will think you are not good at work causing bankruptcy." Even though Nadine hates her stepfather's wealth, today she was forced to use it as an excuse to keep her staff from leaving the company too. Sometimes being sneaky is a little treated in an emergency like this one.

Nadine then stepped out of the meeting room with her secretary while her staff who were still in the meeting room immediately rushed to find information to fulfill Nadine's request.

....

The sound of the phone ringing outside the room gave Nadine a headache. She had lost her actresses, actors, and models in just one night. She had never had a nightmare like this before and reality always hurts more.

Nadine then turned to her secretary who was still standing at her desk and looked at it as if he had something he wanted to talk about but didn't dare to reveal.

"Why your face like that? Do you want to resign?" Asked Nadine without preamble even though her secretary was named Sammy been working with her since she started this company.

"I will not leave you in this state Miss."

"Then what's wrong with your expression? Oh my God, I'll have new wrinkles if I see your face like that."

"I'm sorry miss, but I just want to tell you about something."

"About what?"

Sammy then stepped closer and placed his tablet on Nadine's desk. Nadine then pulled the tablet closer and saw the tablet that was showing a news portal under the title, "Surprising, Actors, and Actresses who were previously ruled by 'Baby Star entertainment' have now signed a contract with the management of 'Angel Star entertainment '. "

Nadine raised her hand while she was lowering her head and ruffled her hair so that Sammy wouldn't speak.

She already knows everything. The worst day she ever had after her father's death and her mother's marriage to her stepfather and now when her stepbrother sabotaged her company. Without thinking, Nadine immediately took her cellphone in her Herm*s bag and called her damn stepbrother.

"MARCELL !!!! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU! FU*K YOU, BASTARD!"

Nadine yelled at her cellphone and cursed Marcell but Marcell was heard laughing softly and said, "I love you too, my sweet sister."
