"Read a little."
Bertha glanced at her, continuing to deal with the task at hand.
"So why are you still..." Anne was even more confused.
"Why am I still so calm? That's what you want to say?"
Bertha decisively closed the computer screen, leaned back in her chair, and explained to her.
'Derek said in front of many reporters that he wanted to explain to the public, so I wanted to see what he had to say. Furthermore, even though those comments were negative, I was completely unaffected."
"But……"
"No buts, please continue your work. The talent show is about to start filming, and your recent job hasn't been too easy."
Anne knew that her boss was not a normal person, so she kept quiet and continued doing her work.
Bertha is busy striving for her career.

At the hospital dozens of kilometers from Angle Group, Laura lay on the hospital bed, boredly scrolling through her phone.
Her wound has recovered quite a bit.
Over the past two days, she had been following the malicious speculations about Bertha by the media on major social media platforms, occasionally bribing a few people to add fuel to the fire.
Seeing the flattering comments she made on Bertha overshadow the comments defending Bertha, she felt very proud.
She was surfing Facebook when a message appeared, causing her smile to freeze on her face instantly.
"Laura, the boss hasn't made any movements in the past two days, nor has he arranged for me to do anything. I don't know what he wants to do."
After Cadell agreed to help her, he dedicated himself to helping her pay attention to Derek's every move.
With just a small action, Cadell immediately informed her.
But Derek hasn't moved for a long time, making her suspicious.
'I know, thank you, Cadell." She directly used a sweet tone to send Cadell a voice message.
Cadell heard her voice, he was both touched and scared, he was even more determined to help her, and the goal was to let Bertha receive the appropriate punishment.
Laura turned off the phone angrily. She leaned back on the bed. After thinking for a while, she turned on the phone again and called someone.
"How have you been?"
Karlina's seductive and lazy voice came from the other end of the line.
'Thank you for your plan, I'm still in the hospital right now," Laura said sarcastically. 'What should we do now?"
Karlina looked at her newly done nails for a while and said lazily. "Don't worry, I've found her weakness. I can send her to hell tonight."
"Really?"
Laura asked uncertainly. "I fell into her hands twice. Lessons learned from previous experiences, you have to be careful."
'Wasn't it because you were stupid last time?" Karlina raised her voice. 'If it wasn't for you, how could the plan fail? Protect yourself."
Laura was angry but didn't dare to get angry. She gritted her teeth and hung up the phone, silently writing this debt on Bertha's head.
'Just wait, I'll see how long you can laugh.'
She threw the phone on the bed, her expression both fierce and sinister.

The progress of recruiting members for the girl group is about to be completed.
Bertha took care of the final touches in the afternoon, overseeing the recording of the first day of the show via remote connection.
The items went smoothly, Bertha nodded in satisfaction and turned off the connection.
She has arranged for personnel to monitor the filming scene. If anything goes wrong, she will receive a notification as soon as possible.
The phone suddenly rang, it was a call from the person in charge of the base.
"Miss. Bertha, things are not okay. Contestant Mica has disappeared."
Bertha's eyes shrank. "Is Mica missing?"
"Yes, director. And this incident is not the usual contract violation of leaving the competition, this is strange. Mica's condition before the show was recorded was very good, she got along very well with the other contestants, and she couldn't leave suddenly without saying hello."
"I understand. The show's filming will continue, keep this a secret. If you have any questions, please contact me at any time."
Bertha calmly arranged. "I will investigate this matter. The base must be stable."
She hung up the phone, frowned thoughtfully, and dialed the number at the bottom of the contact list.
"Boss." The person on the other end of the line was very surprised and stammered. "Is it you?"
"It's me," Bertha answered very briefly.
The person was immediately excited, his shock and joy could be felt even through the screen.
"Boss, you haven't contacted us for six or seven years. Is there anything important this time? The Black Dragon will do everything you ask."
The Black Dragon is a mystical organization under her authority, underground bases are scattered around the world, covering many walks of life.
As long as Bertha gave the order, there was no information they couldn't get.
"Help me investigate Mica's whereabouts. I want the results within ten minutes. Regarding the fact that I haven't contacted you yet, it's a long story. When I have time I will let you know."
Bertha put down the phone, her eyes could not hide her worry.
Although she had confidence in the Black Dragon's work efficiency, as time passed by another second, it became more difficult to predict whether Mica was safe or not.
Her phone rang again, Bertha glanced at the time, only eight minutes had passed.
"Boss, we have found it. At noon, Mica received a call, the person on the other side asked her to go out to the filming base, and they confirmed that there was something important to discuss with her."
"After Mica went out, she was immediately drugged and stuffed into the trunk of a car with a fake license plate."
"The car drove to a western mountain outside X city. After going through a tunnel, the surveillance system lost track of the car. I suspect that she was kidnapped."
'Okay, I know, thank you." Bertha was extremely calm and alert.
She checked the map that Black Dragon's people had just sent and quickly prepared to drive there.
The phone rang twice again, it was a text message from an unknown number.
"Mica is in my hands, please come here quickly within an hour. If you exceed the agreed time, you must bear the consequences. Note that you can only go alone, if you dare to call the police or let anyone go with you, we will kill the hostages immediately."
The strange number sent another message, which was a photo of Mica tied up and beaten.
Bertha leaned against her bright red Magotan, lost in thought.
