Chapter 199

Her Office

Kylie met Laurence’s eyes as she sat down and said, “I have some news that I think everyone here will appreciate; I have been nominated for an Oscar.”

Laurence frowned and said, “How can that be?”

Kylie smiled and said, “My invitation is on the last page that I’ve passed around. It turns out that The Tea Maiden has been a bit of an overnight sensation. The DVD box set is set for release in two weeks, and there have already been millions of pre-orders on Amazon alone!”

The shareholders nodded in satisfaction. It appeared that, from that project alone, without lifting a finger, much of Kylie’s monthly goal would be met.

“Perhaps,” one of the shareholders suggested, “you are just what this company needs at this time. I know that I, for one, am very grateful to have you on board.”

Kylie smiled shyly as she took her papers and put them back into her manila envelope. “I have to go now,” she said, “but I will see you all in a month.”
