Oliver sat on the couch with a dark expression, playing a game. His manager, Robin, was pacing the room anxiously.

“Boss, you’ve signed the contract. Do you know how big of an impact it will have if you refuse to act now?”

Oliver let out a cold laugh. He executed a perfect move in the game, defeating his opponent, before speaking, “It’s just a breach of contract fee, right? It’s not like I don’t have the money. I’ll pay them. No matter what you say, I’m not doing this show.”

Once, he saw a director getting cosy with an actress and spent the entire night outside their door with a loudspeaker, playing a song that went, “Daddy’s daddy is grandpa…” It was said that the director ended up being taken away by the police that night.
