The Become A Villain In The Novel
Chapter 5
I'm holding a yaw. Actually, when do I have to listen to all this shit? I glanced at the man who knew his name who was making a presentation.
I've read it at a glance. But not interested. And I don't understand it at all. I told you I'm just a writer. I don't know how to run a company. If you ask me, do I want to agree to this plan? Answer's no. But do I want to fund the show if it's a big success? Of course I would.
Okay, I sound wishy-washy, very shallow, and have no kindness. Yes, I am not an angel heart even though I do not want to harm others. If I'm kind like Shania, maybe I'll get inside her?
So, is this why I got into Catherine's body? Because deep inside me I'm a criminal? Monster money?
“Bu?”
I gasped as Keegan wiggled my arm a little. Oh, goddamn. I hope I'm not caught thinking about anything else. But others are focusing on the speaker.
“What do you think of this idea, Kee?” my whiskey.
Keegan explained all her opinions very smoothly. It's so good that I don't know what he's talking about.
“I don't think this is bad. Lately many people like events like this.” I just understood the meaning.
“Do you think so?”
“Iya. I guess Mom would like it. Usually I like this show.”
Seriously? But I can't ask that. Because Keegan will suspect that my habits have suddenly changed. Even I don't remember at all.
“Events like this usually invite unexpected sources and reveal some dirty facts about the world of artistry, installation or certain companies or individuals. The person who will host this event is also very famous. He is sharp and likes to ask questions that trap. So sometimes the source can't be kinked and looks like a fool.”
Like Najwa Shihab or Deddy Corbuzier? Or a host on a gossip talk show who likes to sneak? I read a bit of the material in front of me. It seems more to the gossip show host who is a nyinyir hobby.
“But because this event is like dismantling and disassembling disgrace not infrequently the invited speakers quarrel and say harsh words. Sometimes the things told are embarrassing so the source sometimes has to be covered by his identity. His face was censored and so on. Ah, I definitely know more about this yes.”
No. gabe. I don't know about this at all so talk again. As she told me this, little by little Catherine's memories of such an event appeared in my head. I have to know what this show will be like just decided, right?
“It's okay. Just tell me all your thoughts on the show. I love hearing it.”
Keegan sees me confused. “Mother lately is a little different.”
Sure, he could have realized it right away. "What's wrong with that,” I said alma mater and as calm as possible.
I didn't see it. But I think Keegan is taking me seriously right now. “If I were, I would take this project. We have enough money to do it."
I don't know how much money Keegan said. But that doesn't mean I can just as willingly spend it on obscure investments. I personally do not like such provocative events. I prefer accomplished speakers, and far from bad gossip, whose stories can inspire people. But I myself realize, not only achievers who can make you inspired. Sometimes you need to learn from something bad and painful. Sometimes it can even teach you better. Because everything can be bad or good is from the way the person looks at it.
I began to focus on listening to the materialist's explanation. Asked this and that made him tired because he seemed to have explained but I did not listen.
“An interesting way,” I said. The man smiled. “I will agree if the invited speakers are only asked accordingly. Even if it traps, do not be too excessive. I want this show to have good value. Not an event that is only cornering and full of provocation to encourage the audience to swear on those who are invited or dismantled its rottenness. Do it reasonably.” For no matter how bad the person is, it is not our right to vilify and destroy them. Because then it means you're the same bad person as that person. Just like you did with Catherine and me.
“But people prefer provoking events. Viewer rating—“
“If you want to make your own company there,” I said quickly. “If you obey my selfish heart, I do not want to do it. I don't run a company alone. So let's make a deal, I want to but don't overdo it. WJC does not produce junk shows. Just like WJ Entertainment did not debut the trash artist.” I stared intently at Dimas, the Co-CEO of the WJC.
Some of the others saw me worried, while others seemed to sneer even though they said nothing.
“True. Looks like what Ms. Catherine said was better.”
“Of course. Controversial events usually do not last long. “
“I agree. This show is already quite entertaining.”
“Of course entertaining. And it would be even more entertaining if Catherine's mother was a guest in the event.” Everyone here looked at the person who had just spoken.
“Hey, what does it mean that Miss Catherine should be a guest of the event? Ms. Catherine is busy, where it might be possible to come to such a lowly event. He's the leader of a big company.”
The man replied, “Why not? Many entrepreneurs who appear on TV shows, even leaders such as governors, ministers, and presidents are also often invited on TV.”
“Of course it's not an event like this. Most of these events invite artists or people who are famous on social media. Definitely different class with Ms. Catherine.”
Others snickered the man.
“He's crazy what. Why do you talk so in front of Ms Catherine?”
Dimas glared at the person who seemed to be his subordinate. The man looked scared of Dimas. “He was just kidding, Mom. He has no evil intentions. Revan is too plain and outspoken.”
Then the man smiled guiltlessly at me. “Yes, Mom, I don't think long. Sorry to joke I missed.”
“No problem,” I replied by holding back an upset. I want to act arbitrarily by firing him. But there are also many people here who do not like me because of the incident with Shania at this time. There must be someone who will add that I fired employees for no apparent reason and so on. If I get any more arbitrary, I'll slowly self-destruct. “But next time think before acting or speaking. The words you speak will no longer be withdrawn. How much you apologize. So take care of your tongue it's fine.” He was silent, his smile was gone, then I smiled. “But I will consider being a guest at the event.” I got up from the chair and left the room.
