Meanwhile, the production team was working on editing the footage they had from the morning. Every shot was perfect.

“Sir, the higher-ups were right to hire Miss Reinhart for this video. I dare say that once the final draft is finished, everyone will be shocked!” The video editor heaped praise after praise at the image of Tessa displayed on the screen as he worked.

Many of the nearby crew members nodded in agreement.

“She’s also a very friendly woman,” one of them commented. “She was so polite to us, unlike certain celebrities who act kind but are actually mean and petty in private.”
