I was immediately called alone to the NAS Entertainment headquarters.

The place I was summoned to was the meeting room on the 7th floor, where we had our last meeting.

But there was one thing different from last time…

“Everyone, get ready to distribute the press release!”

“MS Planning is preparing for the press conference soon!”

“When is Ha Ye-rin coming back?”

Unlike the lively atmosphere of the last meeting, this place was already bustling and noisy even before I opened the door.

“…Let’s go in.”

“…Yes.”

With a tense expression, I opened the door alongside the staff who brought me here.

And….

Creeeak.

“…….”

“…….”

As soon as I opened the door, dozens of eyes were fixed on me.

None of them said a word to me, but their gazes somehow made me feel blamed, and I couldn’t help but feel small.

“Ye-rin, you’ve arrived.”

“…Director Jeong.”

The first to greet me was Director Jeong.

He spoke to me in a slightly softer tone than earlier on the phone.

“Ye-rin, I apologize, but I’ll have to ask again… Have you signed a contract with MS Planning?”

“…No, I haven’t. Really, I haven’t.”

The company that brought up the double contract issue and sued NAS Entertainment was MS Planning.

‘The company that Shin PD promised to introduce me to, which Han Si-woo and Yoo Seol both said was trash…’

Thinking this incident would also be related to Shin PD, I told Director Jeong everything that had happened with him.

And once Director Jeong heard everything from me…

“Shin Ji-cheon… Did he really do that…?”

“Yes, he definitely said he would introduce me to MS Planning.”

“That sly guy wouldn’t dare turn his back on the headquarters…”

His chin rested on his hand, as if he could hardly believe it.

Then he patted my shoulder, as if to reassure me.

“Anyhow, it’s certain that Na Ah Ah attempted some tampering from the MS Planning side. Don’t worry too much, Ye-rin. I don’t know what gave MS Planning the confidence to make such a big fuss, but just stating that you didn’t sign a contract with them will make this go smoothly.”

“Just… stating it is enough?”

“Yeah, just write down that MS Planning’s claims are false and that you’ve never signed a contract with them and post that on SNS. As long as public opinion sways in our favor, the company can handle the rest.”

The expression on Director Jeong’s face looked incredibly reassuring.

While it might be true that MS Planning had more experience in the entertainment industry than NAS, in terms of capital and scale, NAS was several times above MS Planning.

Moreover, since the actual contract party, me, was here, MS Planning no longer had the power to make unreasonable demands.

Just as I was beginning to feel a wave of relief from the deep anxiety I’d felt on my way here…
