Chapter 338: Chapter 338: I Won’t Participate
During this period, Lily Turner hasn’t been scheduled for any work obligations. This is the short break she had been asking for a long time, and there are still three days until her vacation ends.
At this time, Freya Yeager suddenly called, and she sounded quite urgent. Lily had a bad feeling in her heart that she might have to cut her vacation short.
"You have to end your vacation early."
Although she had anticipated this outcome, when Freya said it out loud, Lily was obviously taken aback and asked discontentedly, "Freya! Did you arrange some work for me again behind my back?"
This was not the first time something like this had happened. In the past few years, she had frequently encountered similar situations.
Lily’s dissatisfaction was very obvious, and even over the phone, Freya deeply felt it, but she pretended not to notice.
"The production team of JN TV’s program ’Intimate Couples’ invited you to participate in their show, I..."
"I’m not going!"
As soon as Lily heard that she was invited to participate in the ’Intimate Couples’ TV show, she refused before Freya could finish speaking.
Performing various affectionate scenes on TV with someone she wasn’t intimate with was something she couldn’t accept. She couldn’t find any reason to accept such things; she simply couldn’t.
However, her refusal was met with strong opposition from Freya, "The company has already signed a contract with the ’Intimate Couples’ program. If you don’t go, the company will breach the contract and then have to pay a hefty penalty."
Freya laid out the pros and cons of the situation to make Lily understand and not feel resistant to this matter.
"I finally see, you guys just see me as a money-making tool." What Freya said made Lily feel very uncomfortable, and as soon as she hung up the phone, she shouted at the person on the other end.
Are they treating her like a robot?
They wished she wouldn’t take a day off for 365 days a year and work for them every minute to make money.
Over the past five years, she barely had any time off. The company arranged one job after another, and she didn’t even have a decent vacation.
This time, she had a hard-earned break for a few days, but it was still ruthlessly exploited by the company.
Freya was well aware of Lily’s dissatisfaction, but this was her job. She had to generate income for the company, and the company wouldn’t keep an idle person.
"I know you’re angry about ending your vacation early, but there’s no other choice. This schedule is urgent, which is why I had to call you so frantically." Freya explained fairly clearly, though she didn’t mention why the matter was so urgent. She thought Lily would find out sooner or later.
Lily was fixated on being seen as a money-making tool and didn’t pay attention to what Freya had just said; it barely registered in her mind, just in one ear and out the other.
"The exact time!"
Since the matter was settled, nothing she said would change it. Even if she said something, it wouldn’t change because of her opinion.
Lily stopped arguing with Freya because it would just be a waste of breath.
"A flight at 10:30 directly to J City!"
"10:30?!"
This time was much earlier than what Lily had anticipated. She had thought it would be tomorrow, and never imagined she’d be flying to J City at 10:30.
Compared to the agitated Lily, Freya seemed much calmer, "Yes! The flight is at 10:30, and I’ll come to pick you up in an hour."
