Chapter 600
Son-In-Law Madness
Chapter 600 Firing Myles Maintaining the TV stationâs viewership alone was reason enough for Spencer to keep him as director.
Upon ending the call, Donald found a chair and settled down on it.
Brows furrowed, Myles asked, âWhatâs wrong? What did Mr. Duncan say? Is he going to replace me?â
Brody hurried forward to obsequiously add, âYou must be kidding, Mr. Carling. Your show is going to air tomorrow and has a huge audience waiting with anticipation for it. Thereâs no way Mr. Duncan would do something as stupid as that.â
If Myles were to be removed now, the show would lose its director and have no one in charge.
Also, It was common for a showâs ratings to fall off a cliff whenever there was a sudden change in directors.
Consequently, Brodyâs sycophantic words inflated Mylesâ ego further.
Not wanting to waste any more time with Donald, Myles gestured at Fulbert and ordered, âGet him out of here. If he refuses, call security to kick him out.â
Upon humming in acknowledgment, Fulbert was about to execute his orders when Spencerâdrenched in sweatâcame running in.
âMr. Duncan, what brings you here?â
Slap!
Spencer swung a forceful hand at Mylesâ face.
âIf I didnât f*cking come here, do you think Iâll still have my job? Since when have you learned to overstep my authority?â
Mylesâ was stunned after being struck by Spencer.
Has Spencer gone mad? How dare he hit me? Does he not care about the stationâs ratings anymore?
âIâm sorry that my subordinate doesnât know better, Mr. Campbell. This mess is my fault.â
After slapping Myles, Spencer quickly bowed at Donald in apology as if the latter was his boss.
Nonetheless, Myles wasnât going to take the insult lying down, for he was a famous director, after all. If he could no longer work at this TV station, he would easily move to another.
After all, Spencerâs slap was the equivalent of a public falling out between them.
In a grim tone, Myles snapped, âSpencer, Iâm fine if you donât seek my permission for your starlets to participate in my show, but now, you actually hit me because of an outsider? Fine. Itâs clear to me that you donât care about the viewership of Pollerton TV Station.â
âF*ck you!â Spencer kicked Myles to the ground. âIâve had it with you for always threatening me with the TV stationâs ratings. And what do you mean by your show? This show belongs to Pollerton TV Station!
Now that you have been fired, get yourself out of here right now!â
Having been known for his amiable temper, Spencer shocked everyone with his fury.
What came as a bigger surprise was that even if he disapproved of Myles, there was no need for violence which would lead to an irreconcilable grudge.
Cognizant that Spencer used to be in the army and that he was no match for the former in a fight, Myles got back up to his feet and threw his work pass on the ground.
âFine. This is your decision, so donât regret it!â
With that, Myles stormed out of the production set. As for the clueless Brody, he had no choice but to leave together with Myles.
âMr. Campbell, about todayâ¦â
âYou did well resolving the matter. Now, get them to continue with the rehearsal while I bring my two starlets over.â
âAll right, Iâll get it done right away.â
Donaldâs approval elicited a sigh of relief from Spencer.
A short while ago, he received a call from his superior informing him about Donaldâs predicament.
In a nutshell, if he didnât deal with the matter to Donaldâs satisfaction, he would be out of his job.
All this while, Spencer tolerated Myles solely on account of maintaining Pollerton TV Stationâs viewership and also his position as the director.
