DING!
DING!
Melissa covered her ears, trying not to hear the endless calls and messages bombarding her phone. She hadn't even gotten up from bed, wrapped tightly in a blanket, but no matter what, her phone sounded louder than usual.
"Ugh!" she groaned, yanking the blanket down and glaring at the device. It vibrated again on the bedside table, and when she reached for it to turn it off, the screen lit up with Manager Kang's name flashing across it.
Her teeth ground together, her swollen eyes burning with fury. When the call finally stopped, her voicemail icon appeared. She played it, and his tired voice filled the silence.
"Melissa, you need to pick up the phone. The higher-ups are calling for you and want to talk. I'll be there later once I drop off Simon at the set, but… you really need to come, Melissa. We have to fix this together."
She bit her lower lip hard, listening until the message ended.
