The named screenwriters were trembling with fear. They hadn't expected such a simple conversation could lead to their actions being uncovered. Moreover, the person who overheard it was Lina, who was similarly capable as Linda "To be honest, I've productions.

"You should respect the company and the director as collaborators instead of talking behind their backs. Let's set aside for now whether that behavior is appropriate or not "I've been busy lately and was often away from the company. You thought that gave you free rein to say whatever you wanted because no one was around to hold you accountable, right?
"You'd already lost the game when that thought crossed your mind. I've never claimed to be a nice person and always said that I would reward all of you fairly for your contributions to the company.

After all, everyone in this industry knows that things can get very ugly if I truly lose my patience." Lina's tone remained gentle, but her words were anything but that.
