Chapter 444 A Task
Almost instantly, the call was picked up. A surprised voice came through. “Ms. Nelson?”

“Oscar, you’re the one Jonah assigned to look into those online posts damaging the company’s image, right?”
“Um, yes.”
Leah spoke calmly, “My friend found out that the guy running the company cafeteria also posted bad stuff online. Add him to your list.”
Oscar Stone, Jonah’s secretary, paused in shock. “Ms. Nelson, could you send me concrete proof so I can confirm it from my side?”
Leah’s tone instantly turned sharp. “What’s that supposed to mean? Are you saying I made it up to frame someone?”
“I didn’t mean that. It’s just…” Oscar hesitated.
“It’s hard to explain everything to Mr. Jonah, and the list has to be finalized before next the quarter ends. Replacing the cafeteria contractor takes time–we’d need to pick a new one at least a month ahead. It’s cutting it close.”
Leah sneered. “Do you think I didn’t consider that?
“I’ll handle Jonah. Just add the name. And about the cafeteria, I know someone in that field. I’ll pass you his contact information. Talk to him directly.”
She wrapped it up with just a few words.
Oscar stayed quiet for a moment.
Leah then said casually, “You’ve been working with Jonah for three years, haven’t you?”
“Yes. He promoted me when he took over,” Oscar replied.
“Then you
should know how close Jonah and my dad are to me. Do you still need to bother him about something this minor?”
Oscar knew what she meant. In the years he’d worked under Jonah, he’d bought Leah more gifts than he had for his fiancée.
When she damaged the company’s image recently, he was the one who handled the mess behind the scenes. It was obvious how much Jonah and Willard cared about her.
After thinking for a second, Oscar replied seriously, “Alright. Got it.”
Leah smiled in satisfaction and ended the call.
Her expression turned thoughtful. She’d been unsure about making this move, but now.
Zayn, you pushed me into this.

She quickly texted Bennett and told him to get in touch with Cash and Oscar.
Once that was done, she felt calmer and got ready to leave..

But the moment she opened the door, Robin was suddenly standing there, catching her completely off guard.
Leah’s face turned pale. “W–why are you here?”
Her heart pounded in panic.
Damn it! When did she show up? How much did she hear?
Charmaine said expressionlessly, “Your earpiece is off. Everyone’s looking for you.”
Leah quickly made up an excuse. “I just went to the restroom.”
Charmaine chuckled and exposed her lie. “In this room? There isn’t one.”
She didn’t bother hiding Leah’s lie and walked off without another word.
Leah watched Charmaine leave, her eyes growing colder by the second.
Later, after everyone had settled into their lodgings, the crew assigned the first task. The guests were split into teams to visit locals and eat dinner at homes.
“Haha! Can you believe a big–name show like ‘Healing Hand‘ didn’t even provide dinner?”
“Luxury shows love doing these ‘simple living‘ segments!”
The guests were allowed to choose their teams. This challenge was all about how well they could interact with strangers. Only those confident could pull it off–shy ones usually didn’t dare.
That was why the two variety show regulars quickly became team favorites. They were more used to this kind of situation than even the director.
Two full teams formed right away, leaving six people to make up their team.
Charmaine, two chief surgeons, a strict ICU head nurse Leah, and Zayn ended up as one team.
The six of them looked at each other awkwardly.
Online, the comments were filled with jokes. “Hey, these six don’t look like they have social skills, do they?”
