Chapter 197: Exoneration (2)
"PD Emily, the board of directors has been calling you all-"
"Ignore it."
"PD Emily, parents of contestants have been calling to ask what-"
"Ignore them too, unless they come in person. Their kids are about to go home."
As PD Emily Raleigh strode through the hallways, numerous production staff members began to swarm her with updates that she had missed from spending her afternoon and evening following the police officers who had taken Ari.
Although she had been making calls throughout her little chase, it was only to put out immediate fires while pushing off the bigger issues that needed an in-person meeting.
"PD Emily, we-"
"Save it. Where’s Ji-ho?"
"He’s in the conference room with the other high-level staff."
"Okay. Gimme."
Emily took the tablet from the panicked assistant writer before stepping into the conference room, where PD Ji-ho, Assistant PD David, Assistant PD Clare, and the main writers of the show were gathered, sipping coffee and looking exhausted.
Seeing Emily come in, there was a collective release of tension, and not one to waste time, PD Emily took the empty seat beside PD Ji-ho and began speaking.
