Unscented-Chapter 1197 - 1139 Cooperation

Despite being slammed an option of fine. It seemed the meeting would end well.

"I’m happy I came to this meeting. When I was coming in. My thoughts were there was nothing good that will come out of this. But everything have two sides" Melissa said happily.

"Now that you are happy, shall I introduce you to a program we are planning to hold. Why not be one of our high esteemed stakeholders?" Mr Black asked her.

"I would really love to be" Melissa accepted without much further ado.

"In that case, we should carry you along and tell you all the benefits of this program" Mr. Black seemed happy for her acceptance.

"I’m all ears, sir" Melissa replied politely.

"This program was established to sensitize all the personnels of entertainment companies. Not just investors, entertainers but also the technicians as well. We will educate everyone about their duties. How to know if they are being enslaved or cheated" Mr Black looked like he had a lot to talk about.

"That is for the employees, specifically,I think" Melissa chuckled.

"We also have plans for the employers. There are some entertainers who exploit companies because of their popularities. The companies couldn’t do anything for the fear of audience leaving them" Mr Brown answered her swiftly.

"Additionally, we will set up a policing body. Cases like yours with Anthony will be their main focus. They will be tasked with avoiding such occurrence at all cost" Mr Black added.

"Yes, your case has caused a change in the public opinion about us. We are going to do something to gain our footing back too" Mr Brown scoffed.

"All what you are saying are good things. So which category do I fall into?" Melissa questioned.

"Of course, stakeholders. We are using your face and influence. You will be our high esteemed figure anywhere we are having the social meetings" Mr Black answered quickly.

"I need to say this. We are grateful that you accepted to be part of our program. A lot of companies has turned us down. They claimed they do not have time. And this program is going to be beneficial to us all" Mr Brown appreciated her.

"Without seeing the planning for the program. From what I heard for you, I am rest assured the program is going to bring a lot of development to Entertainment Companies generally" she buttressed.

"Many people don’t see that" Mr. Black moaned.

"It is a privilege for me to partake in something right after this saga" Melissa nodded.

"We will keep you informed as the preparation progresses" Mr Brown assured her.

Melissa’s phone started ringing.

"I’m sorry, I should have turned that off" she ended the incoming call.

"You can answer the call, please" Mr Black waved at her.

"Thank you" Melissa answered the call immediately as it started ringing again. She stood up and moved to a corner for a little privacy.

"Hello ma’am, it’s me, the nanny" nanny said from the other end.

"I know, what happened?" she asked sternly.

"Can you help me reach Mr. Murray. I’ve been trying to contact him to no avail. There is something urgent to discuss with him" the nanny’s voice was shaking.

"Is there any problem at home?" she was worried. She knew the nanny would not call except there was something she couldn’t handle.

"There is no problem but Mr Murray asked me to call him and I haven’t been able to reach him for some time" the shakiness of her voice had become more glaring.

"So why is your voice shaking like this, did you offend him?" she questioned him.

"No, not at all. Just help get the message across to him. Tell him it is about the children" she said hastily.

"And what’s the message?" Melissa asked eagerly.

"I’m sorry, he has told me not to bother you with it. He will understand when you tell him it’s about the children" she repeated.

"Now that he is unavailable, do you realize I am in the position to cater for my children, what is it about them?" she asked with a more strict voice.

"The children are sick. I think they have fever" she said reluctantly.

"You mean my kids are sick and you couldn’t tell me straight away?" she was angry but this wasn’t the nanny’s fault.

"I’m sorry, ma’am" the nanny begged.

Melissa ended the call. There was no way she could get home on time even if these people let her leave.

An idea struck her mind.

She made a call.

"Hello, Linda" she said hurriedly. "Are you at home?" she asked.

"Yes. I just walked past your house, not long ago" Linda chuckled on the phone.

"Please, I need your help. My kids are sick. Can you get them to the hospital for me?" she requested politely.

"Oh, my! Of course! Don’t worry. They will be okay" Linda consoled her.

"Thanks" Melissa ended the call and went back to join Mr Black and the others.

"You looked sad, is that a bad news?" Mr Black showed concern.

"My kids are sick" Melissa let out. "I need to leave now" she announced.

"You will need to tarry a bit. Mr Brown had gone to get the details of your fine. He will be here in no time" Mr Black looked behind.

Mr Brown approached them immediately.

"What’s happening?" Mr Brown gave Melissa the file in his hand. "I’m afraid there is a downside to the penalty you are given" he sighed.

Melissa opened the file. "What is the downside?" she asked

"You have to make the payment before you leave here" Mr Brown couldn’t talk confidently.

"That isn’t a problem" Melissa brought out her phone again. "All I need is to send this account details to my assistant. He will pay right away" she asserted.

"Mr Brown" Mr Black called. "She just received a call now that her kids are sick. She needs to leave as soon as possible" he solicited for her.

"She has to pay before she leaves and I see it’s like she is already making the payment" Mr Brown nodded.

"Your account has been funded. I’m looking forward to being your special guest.

Melissa rushed out and headed for the hospital
