Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 60

I pushed her extremely curious face away and made m y way to the bedroom. "Don't be nosy. It's late, you should go sleep."

"Tell me please, Wanda... I promise to be as tight lipped as a mummy...” I closed the door, blocking out Cecilia's voice. That girl was always saying nonsensical things.

Once in my room, I continued working on my laptop. Heidi had prepared a proposal for the show, and I had t o check through it.

The work for the preparation stage was almost done now. It would be a busy period of time for me soon.

For the next few days, I was the first in and the last out at work. Sometimes I did not even have the time to eat.

The groundwork of the talent searching show had been established now, and all the participants had signed their contracts. There was a lot to do and very little time. The next task in line was to settle the decoration of the locations and to work on the online marketing.

This was definitely the fastest production program in history. I had given it a timeline of only 20 days to go

from preparation to recording, but by the looks of things, the timespan would not be a problem.

It was just how the world worked. As long as there was a sufficient amount of money, there was nothing one could not do. Everything was going smoothly thanks to the support of a financial giant-the Grant Corporation.

It was on my agenda today to go for a site visit. Little did I know I would bump into Theo and Mason at the office entrance.

We had not met since the last time in the restaurant. During that time, he had seemed to revert to what he used to be like—aloof and unresponsive towards me.

I had deliberately planned my schedule around him, making sure we would not meet each other during work hours. It was because of that that I had really not expected to bump into him today.

Theo's facial expressions were frosty and rigid, coldness rolling off of him naturally. It was as if he had not even seen me.

I felt a little awkward. I did not know whether to say h i or not.

Fortunately, Mason broke the tense atmosphere by saying, "You've been having problems with your digestive system lately, right? I told Cain about it, and he's prepared some soup for you. I'll send it over later.”

Dark clouds briefly came over Theo’s eyes before dissipating into nothingness. He did not say a word. I could not read his expressions nor did I had any idea what was going on in his mind.

"I have no problem with your adjustments, Director Leid. I trust you." I skimmed through the adjusted proposal and saw that he had indeed done some substantial work. He had amended several shortfalls from the initial proposal and increased the number of fun and watchable elements within the show.

"Great! I'll have Winnie show you around set, Director Lane. Please excuse me." Director Leid sent Winnie, his assistant, to give me a guided tour through the different segments and intended shooting styles.

It was exceptionally hot today. After a short while, I started to feel dizzy and nauseous. I held it in for as long as I could until it got too much. I rushed toward a resting area at the side.

I felt better after retching for a while. Heidi saw how unwell I was and said, "Wanda, please rest here. There isn’t much left to see, so I'll go on your behalf and report whatever I see to you later."

I nodded.

After Heidi left, I sat on the chair and closed my eyes. My hands massaged my temples.

A pair of hands suddenly reached over from behind m e and took over the massaging. I shot up with fright.
