Chapter 1

I was an excellent and accomplished producer director with many shows that received extremely high ratings.

Of course, it was all thanks to my vision when selecting guests.

Patrick Hastings was a top male idol. I treated him like a treasure and let him participate in any show.

It was not because he was handsome and talented but because he had a lot of fans and could bring up the ratings!

I believed that every producer hoped to invite top stars to support the show, and I was no exception.

At first, I even felt like I had struck gold!

Patrick's fans had never let me down.

With him, my variety shows were on the hot search list every day.

I was especially grateful to his fans.

But in the year when I made the most money, Patrick's reputation collapsed!

I had worked for nothing in my life...

It was because he was a permanent guest in every variety show of mine.

Without having time to feel sad about my shows, I contacted Hastings Studio immediately.

Later, I learned that his studio didn't even have a legal department.

I asked them to pay liquidated damages, but they just left.

And they had long blacklisted my phone number.

I wanted to sue, but I couldn't even find Patrick.

His fans were anxious, and I was even more anxious.

My editor and I tried to remove him from the picture, but our funding didn't allow us to do so.

Now, there was already a lot of criticism online.

[Patrick, go to hell! If it were a normal recording, I wouldn't say anything. But it was in Tilanuss!]

[It was my idol's debut.]

[My favorite idol would show up this time. I don't care if Patrick is dead or alive. Just play it.]

[Don't worry. Ms. Johnson will definitely find a way.]

But I really couldn't, because I had just received a notice that his incident was controversial and the shows were recommended to be canceled.

All my shows were suspended, and I had to pay liquidated damages to other stars.

A few years ago, I had still dreamed of getting rich quickly. But today, I lost everything.

I made him famous and gave him the opportunity to become a top star, and he gave me ratings.

I initially thought that the relationship between us was mutually beneficial, but he did not take any legal responsibility after his reputation collapsed, which was really unkind.

I finally got a clearer picture of him and his studio.

If I were given another chance, I would never let him participate in any of my variety shows.

...

I opened my eyes.

I literally went back to the day before we taped the show.

It was also the first show I worked on with him.

I rushed to the studio and destroyed the contract with Patrick without even asking other staff members for their opinions.

My assistant was shocked when seeing this. "Ms. Johnson, we'll tape the show tomorrow. What are you doing?"

I didn't know what to say and couldn't say that I traveled back in time.

"I think Patrick's image doesn't fit our show. I won't work with him anymore. I will pay him a certain amount of liquidated damages."

I was willing to compensate him for any expenses as long as he stayed away from me.

All the staff present stood there in confusion, looking at me.

"Don't do this. Patrick is the guarantee of the show's ratings."

I ignored everyone's advice and unilaterally broke the contract.

I knew that my action would immediately draw abuse from his fans.

But I would accept it. I would be only scolded for a short period, but it was different for him.

"Ms. Johnson, it won't work. We need to find someone with a fan base, to replace him. But I can't think of anyone else except him," complained Jennifer Lewis, the planner.
