Joy's stomach had grown bigger and bigger by the day. Soon, while she still sometimes helped at the studio, Jennie and Irene had become reluctant to let her move around.
So Irene and Jennie stayed at the studio for more extended periods.
Recently, because of Director Lee's historical drama, the studio had been working overtime to get the dubbing made. Jennie made cameos in almost all of the Palace Lady's scenes, sometimes as an eunuch, sometimes as an attendant.
Noticing that it was almost 10:00 p.m. Joy called her friends over for dinner.
While eating, Jennie turned to Irene and said, "You should send Joy home first; I'll come back to the studio after work and finish the rest."
"There's no need for that, there's a bed here too. I can sleep here." Joy saw that her friends were working very hard. She thought for a bit, then said: "Or I can continue dubbing, it's not like it's physical work."
"Although it's not physical work, it's still taxing to the body." Jennie refuted.
"I can do the rest of the supporting roles, I read the script, there aren't any emotional scenes. I just need to change the timbre a little, and it'll save you a trip back to the studio after work." Joy said.
"She's right!" Irene who had been wolfing down her food came up for air and said, "You get off of work at 2:00 a.m. if you come back to the studio you won't have time to sleep."
"And besides, isn't Lisa coming back from Daegu today? Won't he get worried if you go home late?" Joy asserted.
"You're really not tired?" Jennie was still a little worried as she looked at Joy's stomach.
"People in rural areas still go to work when they're pregnant, you make it sound like I'm made of glass."
"Rural women are physically strong, they kill chickens and sheep without batting an eye. Can you say the same about yourself?" Irene retorted.
"I'm a rural woman, and I've never killed a chicken or slaughtered a sheep!" Jennie glanced at Irene weirdly.
"Oh, I totally forgot that you came from the countryside too. Your elegant temperament is too deceptive." Irene exaggerated.
"Get lost!" Jennie couldn't help but laugh.
Irene and Joy laughed along with her.
"When we finish this job, it'll be New Year's." Irene mentioned, "I'll have to give you guys red envelopes!"
"How much are you going to put in our red envelopes big boss?" Jennie arched an eyebrow.
Joy also looked at Irene with a big smile.
"How can I dare maltreat you girls?" Irene lifted 2 fingers and said, "Each gets 3.800.000 won!"
"Are you Huang Shiren, earning so much yet just giving out 3.800.000 won!" Jennie pretended to get angry.
(T/N Huang Shiren is a penny-pinching character in a Chinese opera called The White Haired Girl)
"Red envelope, that's just the red envelope." Irene thought Jennie had misunderstood and anxiously explained: "I'll pay you dividends after the year, 20% each."
"Isn't 20% too much?" Joy felt as if she didn't do anything, so she felt somewhat guilty when she heard this.
"Not really, getting the contract was basically because of my skills, most of the dubbing was done by you. Irene just registered the company." Jennie said reasonably.
