Eileen and Egbert didn’t chat for long before they got to the training room to start teaching the contestants some dance moves.

In two days, it would be the third stage performance. Word on the street was that the show was supposed to air right after the third performance.

After a whole morning of practice, it was time for an afternoon break. Eileen then got a call from Lenwood.

On the phone, Lenwood sounded super sweet.

“Eileen, our show is a hit!”

Eileen was thrilled, “I saw it! The views is over 40 million!”

“More than that, including this morning, it’s already over a hundred million!”

“Wow!” Eileen was totally taken aback. She hadn’t checked her phone all morning.

Lenwood then brought up the interview.

Eileen was stumped, “What interview?”

Lenwood explained, “It’s just a casual interview. You and Bartley are invited. No need for on-site interview, just a video call will do. It’s mainly about funny stories during filming. Just chit-chat to hype up the show.”

Eileen immediately cheered up, “Huh, you said you didn’t want anyone to know I directed the show.”

Lenwood quickly comforted her, “No no, things are different now. Who knew you had such a huge influence!”

Even Egbert was affected!

Lenwood then sweet-talked Eileen a bunch before settling on a time for the interview that night.

At 5:30 in the evening, Simon was already seated in his study, ready for the video interview.

However, when he looked up, the sofa opposite him was already filled with people.

Simon was speechless, “…Just watch, please stay quiet.”
