The Witch (Lisrene)

Chapter 6

The edited scripts were printed into a booklet each and placed on Lisa's table. He drew out the first booklet and flipped through it swiftly while circling the problematic areas with a red pen. A short while later, many areas on the script were circled out.

This was actually the first draft of the script. It would still go through multiple editing afterwards. Usually, companies would use a digital version during editing and only print the scripts out after they reviewed the final draft, and it was also more environmentally friendly this way. However, as Lisa had acute insomnia, his eyes were often uncomfortable, causing him to avoid staring at computer screens whenever possible.

He completed reviewing the scripts about an hour later and pulled the 3 booklets out of his office with an irked expression.

"The boss came out!"

"From the sound of such heavy footsteps, be prepared to get scolded, my comrades."

In the office, 2 editors who were still drinking their life-saving coffee, could predict their boss' mood from the sound of his footsteps as he walked down the stairs.

Lisa came down the stairs and first spotted a sleeping figure sprawled over his workplace.

He still dared to sleep after submitting such a lousy script?!

"Lil' Yeri, wake up! The boss is here." Wendy, who was sitting behind Yeri's workplace, used a pen to secretly prod the fast asleep editor but failed to wake him up. He could only look on helplessly as Lisa walked towards Yeri with a displeased look.

Just as he lifted his hand and was about to throw the scripts down, his vision blurred. Yeri's dreamscape materialized in his mind.

"Don't eat my liver, don't eat my liver...."

In his dreamscape, Yeri was laid out topless on a bed with fresh blood all over his body. A black shadow with blurred facial features was holding a surgical knife to cut open his body. Even though he was awake, he could not move his body. He could only watch helplessly as the shadow slit open his body-incisions were made one after the other.

"It hurts! It hurts!"

Lisa closed his eyes before opening them again. He found that he left the dreamscape. His brows furrowed while looking at Yeri still sprawled across the table.

Yeri perspired profusely with a twisted expression due to the events happening in his dream.

"Lil' Yeri! Lil' Yeri!" For the sake of their friendship, Wendy braved the threat of death and gave Yeri's back 2 hard thumps after he noticed that Yeri remained asleep.

But there was no reaction from him.

"Lil' Yeri?" Wendy felt that something was amiss. No matter how sleepy he was, he should have woken up by now. He walked over to pull Yeri to an upright position before noticing that his face was extremely pale, "What's wrong with Lil' Yeri? Is he sick?"

"What happened? What happened?" The other 2 employees in the studio came running over.

"Is Lil' Yeri sick? Shoot! He worked non-stop for two nights straight. He'd better not die on us. I'm gonna call the ambulance." Jisoo took out his mobile phone and was about to call the ambulance.

"Why are you calling the ambulance? The hospital is just 3 km away. It's faster to drive him there ourselves." Wendy reached out to carry Yeri up.

Just at this moment, Lisa raised his hand and slapped Yeri's face.

"Boss, Lil' Yeri is already sick!" Wendy was shocked. No matter how deranged his boss was, he shouldn't treat a dying employee this way.

"Lil' Yeri is awake!" The baby-faced young man, Seulgi, who was supporting Yeri exclaimed in surprise.
