"Hya? Have you heard the news?" It was Hyacinth"s manager.
"What news?"
"Ms. Yve was attacked and was now resting in the hospital. She had to undergo surgery which was why she wasn"t in the office the past two days."
"WHAT?! But how is she now?"
"She"s recuperating. But the PD team is worried now. The target date of your alb.u.m has been announced and we can"t afford another delay."
"Get the PD team in the dance practice room in 30 minutes. Get also a clear video recorder. If Ms. Yve can"t come here, we can show her the performance and let her listen to the alb.u.m in the hospital. I know she will be happy with our initiative."
"But... I don"t know."
"Don"t worry. Just do as I say and I will handle it from there." And her manager has left.
Hyacinth has been thinking on how she can help Yve"s condition but since she really has no idea, finis.h.i.+ng her alb.u.m and doing well were her remaining options. Hearing that something bad happened to Ms. Yve was something to be worried about, but knowing Ms. Yve she must be more worried about her alb.u.m and future plans.
"I need to make sure that Ms. Yve will love my performance in that way, we can finish everything according to schedule." Hyacinth told herself as she continue to polish her moves before the PD team arrives.

"So how"s the preparation for Hyacinth"s alb.u.m going?" It was Airis. She was talking to her spy while eating her lunch in their long table.
"They still can"t shoot the music video because Yvory hasn"t approved the ch.o.r.eography and even the theme of the music video. The PD team is afraid they might have to release a statement about the delay."
"Hmm... great! Thank you!" Airis ended the call and dialled the number of a paparazzi to release an article about the said topic.
Ever since Airis knew that Yve survived the attack, her other option would be to tarnish her work because of health issue. Sad to say, she also had to ruin the name of one of the artists. Now, all she has to do is to wait for the board to call up another meeting about this.

SkyMu"s PR Team
--
Just a few minutes after Airis" paparazzi released an article, Hyacinth and SkyMu became the most talked about names on the online entertainment world based on different search engines and social media sites. This escalated quickly considering the fame and positive feedback that Hya got from her latest movie. Her next alb.u.m has been in the spotlight ever since then. The PR team was shocked about this and are in the process of doing their best to prevent further damage.
The director of the PR team had to rush to the PD team to ask their a.s.sistance. Either they release a video sneak peek or a short audio file to ease the public. But upon arriving there, the PD team said that they don"t have any video and that the audio weren"t approved yet. Both of them are in a loss when Hyacinth"s manager came running inside.
"Hyacinth wants to talk to the PD team in-charge of her alb.u.m."
"We"re in a meeting right now." The PR director answered.
"Meeting about what? Why would the PR team be here? Is there any problem?" Hyacinth"s manager asked.
"We should tell her. She"s her manager after all. Who know she might be able to help us."
"Okay. Please have a seat."
Then the 3 people talked about the issue inside the room.

Edward, Slane and Chrysthe decided to eat their breakfast while waiting for Yve to calm down after hearing just a few of the new information. When they thought they already have a lot on their plate, Edward almost choked on his food after seeing the Entertainment morning news.
The news told the story about Hyacinth"s new alb.u.m. It said that due to the incompetence of the new president of SkyMu, Hyacinth"s alb.u.m launch will be postponed at a later wait. However, the company has yet to release a formal statement. Amidst all of this, the netizens are giving out their opinions and are bas.h.i.+ng the company particularly the new president.
As the news continue to tell a background story about the recent change in management of SkyMu, Slane checked his phone to now the real time update.
"This is bad. SkyMu and Hyacinth are on the hottest topics in the social media. This is not a good publicity." Slane said.
"What is the company"s PR team doing?" Chrysthe asked.
"I can"t blame them. Without me or Yve there, they aren"t allowed to do anything." Edward answered.
"So I guess, we should hurry up and inform them?" Chrysthe asked.
"That will be the only option." Edward said.
And immediately, the three men stopped eating and went as fast as they can to the room. Before coming in, they made sure to knock the door and waited for a response.
"Come in!" It was their boss, Vince.
They opened the door and Edward can"t wait to report the news to Yve and Vince. On cue, Yve"s phone rang. Vince stood up to get Yve"s phone. He looked briefly at the caller ID but it was not registered. Nevertheless, he gave the phone to Yve.
"h.e.l.lo?" Yve answered.
"Ms. Yve, are you okay?" Then Hyacinth"s voice can be heard on the other line.
"Yes. I am still in the hospital but I just need to clear some tests then I"ll be fine." Yve answered. She was happy to hear the sincere care from Hyacinth"s voice.
"Then, can we visit you? We need to consult you on something."
"Yeah, that will be fine but I also need to ..."
Then before she can finish, Hyacinth ended the phone call. They were shocked with what happened but Vince was more furious. Yve isn"t cleared to work yet she accepted a business meeting.
"Yve, you know you aren"t..."
"It was just a friendly meeting. Besides, I don"t know why but I felt that something bad is happening with SkyMu."
"You"re amazing, Ms. Yve! How did you know?" It was Chrysthe.
"SOMETHING IS REALLY HAPPENING?"
Edward reported on what they heard on the news and had alsp laid out some of the possible solution for this problem. At the moment, Slane can"t help but be mesmerized by Edward"s skills. It hasn"t been long since he received the news but he was able to think of short-term solutions. Although, Slane is also good but he admits that he still has a long way to go to be like Edward.
"Slane, mada mada dane..." Chrysthe whispered to Slane"s ear.
