Psycho

Chapter 22: Psycho

Lance Gregory, HGN's youngest main Producer-Director, is currently standing in a meeting room in front of his Assistant Director and Main Writer, they are all waiting for the outcome of Lance's phone call to a certain someone that the are desperate to cast in their new program.

*toot toot tooooooot

Right there and then, Yusof Juan the Assistant Director and Herley Dan the Main Writer can see the dark aura around Lance.

"How dare she hang up on me…" he said in a very low tone while facing the two. He is like a demon prince that was suddenly wakens up from his slumber.

He is very scary.

Many people from the Production Team doesn't want to work with Lance, from the very beginning he is very competitive and a perfectionist that every single staff that worked under him have cried and walked out on their own.

Some of he hard headed and prideful staffs, they have been cut off by him in a very harsh manner, but despite his bad temper and attitude he was able to secure a rating of 29% on a non-primetime slot for weekend.

"Before she went back to the station we have tried to cast her but she keeps on rejecting the offer despite the high pay" Yusof said to Lance.

Then Lance dropped his script to the table causing Herley to be more scared.

"She's our sound engineer for this program right? Then she needs to report to me whenever I call her! She's my staff for pete's sake!" Lance is really in a bad mood. He clearly needs Mia to do this program, not as a sound engineer but as a cast member.

They stayed that way for a while when Lance suddenly burst out of the meeting room and rushed to the annex building.

Right after Mia freshens up she rushed to work and reported to her studio at HGN, Blake was then touring the studio for the monthly check of the equipment that they use for Location shoot.

After firing up her studio, then went towards their common area near Blake's office to check the white board where their schedules are posted, as soon as Mia approached the white board Blake called her with a very loud voice with a distance of 10ft. she instinctively covered her ears and look at her supervisor with sharp eyes.

"What the hell is your problem?" She's clearly not in a good mood. Mia's head hurts like hell at the moment.

Right there and then Lance came out of Blake's office also furious.

Everyone inside the engineering common room can feel that a very bad encounter will happen between the two. That made the air inside the room a bit dark and gloomy.

"Ehem!" Blake was the first to break the dark silence brewing between the two of them, Mia and Lance. "He came here to report you for insubordination and tardiness"

Mia snapped at the report "Insubordination? He was casting me! That is way beyond my job description" Mia is furious.

"When your superiors tasked you to do something for the production you do it" Lance then butted in the conversation.

'This guy is really insane' Mia can only sigh and crack her neck, her blood pressure us indeed rising "Excuse me you crazy shit, that rules apply to your production staff, not to the technical staff, do I have to remind you where you are to report me for insubordination?" then Mia turned her back to see the schedules posted on the white board.

She got no time for this Evil and stupid PD's antics.

"I can change that rule if I want to" Lance spurted out, he indeed have the power to do that.

"Can I turn in my resignation effective today Blake?" Mia looked at Blake with dead eyes.

Blake had known Mia for almost 8 years, he was Mia's direct senior when she was still a senior, and he knows that she's dead serious. She annoyed and she's about to explode.

At the same time, He knows who Lance Gregory is, He started when Mia went on leave, even among the tech people he is known to be a terror, he brags that he even have some experience working as a tech before but most of them think it was when he was in college.

"Why can't you just follow me? You need to do this program as a cast" Lance then stared at Mia's eyes. Right now Mia has a very deadly aura.

"Am I going to die if a pass on your offer?" then Lance shook his head like a kid being reprimanded by his mother "Then let me refresh that statement of yours, I don't need to accept your offer, you need to me to accept your offer, Am I right?" it stunned everyone present in the room. No one has ever done that to the Evil PD.

"Let me get things straight, I was assigned to your program as one of the sound engineers and I can promise you that I will do my best but ask me again to do something that isn't included in my job description then I could drop you program"

'It is indeed true' Blake on the side with all of the staffs that worked together with Mia was then reminded of her nickname at HGN that even the executives know.

'Psycho'

She's just plain psycho.
