True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules

Chapter 189

The night before the third episode of the show was due to air, Winnie received news from the EU Supernatural Department.

Due to the Department’s physical training requirements, all new students were to report to the academy two weeks early for a rigorous, closed–door boot camp.

In simpler terms: military training.

Upon receiving the message, Winnie immediately discussed it with Baily and Bagot at the production team’s office.

“I won’t be able to participate in the next two episodes,” she said bluntly, dropping the bombshell that left Baily and Bagot’s faces drained of color.

After the revelation last episode that Winnie was the heiress to the Bright Group, her online popularity had skyrocketed.

Not to mention that over the course of the show, Winnie had consistently topped the charts in personal popularity and discussion – even outshining the fan–favorite, Kane.

Hearing that Winnie would miss the next two episodes was something the production team just couldn’t accept.

“Look, we can shuffle the shooting schedule around, don’t just bail on us,” Baily tried to persuade her.

“And what about your academy? Can’t you get out of boot camp with a doctor’s note or something? We can pull some strings if that’s what it takes,” Bagot chimed in, suggesting that no girl, especially in the sweltering summer heat, would be keen on military training.

Winnie listened to their pleas, her expression unfazed as she replied, “I can’t miss the academy’s early reporting.”

She pondered for a moment and then offered seriously, “If taking leave is difficult for the show, I can step down and recommend another talented supernatural expert to take my place.”

Baily and Bagot looked even more horrified at the prospect of her leaving the show for good than they were about her missing two episodes.

“No way!” Baily declared without hesitation, “I’ll talk to the showrunners. School comes first – we’ll fit in as best we can with your schedule!”

Winnie eyed Baily, then Bagot, uncertain, “Are you sure this won’t give you trouble?”

Both shook their heads in unison, “No trouble at all. It’s common for celebs to take a break from shows for schools. Starting university is not something to take lightly.”
