Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 232 Funding Crisis

After that last confrontation, Elsa and Jack stayed quiet for a few days. Unfortunately, the peace only lasted for two weeks.

Early in the morning, just as I settled into work, there was a knock on my office door. Heather pushed open the door and walked in, her face full of frustration. She didn't waste any time before groaning. "I can't do this anymore. I'm done!"

I chuckled, amused by her actions. "What now?"

Heather dropped into the chair across from me, looking absolutely miserable. "The production company doesn't have enough funding. The company hasn't officially started turning a profit yet, and we've already burned through the initial budget.

She clutched her head in frustration. "But one of the films is almost done. All we need is the post-production budget. If we stop now, then everything we worked for will go to waste!"

I listened patiently and only spoke once she was done. "Did they say who blocked the request?"

Heather shook her head. "Nope. It was just a straight-up rejection. They're practically leaving us to rot. The script isn't well-known enough yet. Where am I supposed to find sponsors?"
