The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 46: Chapter 45: Setting an Example

"Is there a problem? What kind of problem?" Thomas Lee was somewhat surprised. He initially thought Elliana Lyle couldn’t handle spicy food, causing the incident halfway through. However, since Yates Zander mentioned there was an issue, he had to take a look.

He first picked up one of the intact spicy duck heads and carefully licked it.

Everyone watched as Thomas Lee’s face turned beet red, spitting several times on the ground!

Even tasting it a little made his tongue hurt, let alone Elliana Lyle who put the whole thing in her mouth and chewed a few times—the discomfort must have been unimaginable!

Meanwhile, Thomas Lee was also panicking. If something happened to Elliana Lyle, Norman Bennett would get back at him!

He shouted in anger, "Props team, how are you handling things? Who the hell did this?"

A girl with short ear-length hair stepped out, visibly flustered. She had no idea what the problem with the props was either.

She said, "Director Lee, this was prepared yesterday. It was stored in the fridge overnight, so it shouldn’t have any issues. You even ate one this morning, remember?"

Thomas Lee remembered he indeed ate one this morning because he was hungry at the time.

At this moment, the head of the props team, Lewis Wang, spoke, "Director Lee, the props I prepared couldn’t possibly have a problem. Even if they turned a bit sour, it’s not to the point of being unbearable. Most actors have been doing fine with them."

Implying Elliana Lyle might be too sensitive.

Victor King was still feeding Elliana Lyle water. She held the ice water in her mouth, afraid to spit it out or swallow.

She stared intently at Timara Zephyr, who was standing not far away. Timara, who usually loved pointing out faults, was surprisingly silent this time and averted her gaze when meeting Elliana’s eyes.

Director Lee had already handed the spicy duck head to Lewis Wang and angrily said, "You eat it yourself! Don’t come tomorrow! Replace the head of the props team!"

"No! Director Lee! I don’t know what’s going on either. This is..."

"No need to explain! The props had issues, and you’re the main responsibility!" Thomas Lee didn’t give him any chance to defend himself and directly dismissed Lewis Wang.

Helplessly, Elliana Lyle couldn’t speak, just stared blankly.

Lewis Wang was furious, shouting, "Fine then, I quit! This lousy crew—I didn’t want to work here anyway!"

He left without looking back, and nobody attempted to persuade Thomas Lee otherwise, knowing offending Elliana Lyle was equivalent to offending Norman Bennett.
