THE BENEFACTOR (English) 27
"You took matters into your hands. Do you think you will be rewarded after this scandal?" A middle-aged teacher didn't flinch when she noticed the three pair of eyes staring at her with undivided attention. She knew, in her mind, that these students didn't do anything wrong. They were pushed by the circumstances to fight back and give as much as the trouble they had taken. Still, the director is sitting right across the room and she can't show impartial judgements. "You're lucky that there were not a lot of outsiders when this happened, lest we won't be able to face the society with pride!" 'But what can they possibly do against Mr. Brooks and Hyacinth? They can't just tell the director about them. Not without evidence. And even if they had waited, that bad egg Hyacinth will still find a way to make problems for them. It's simply atrocious!' She gave the director a discreet signal. 'You must see that these kids were just left with no choice. You don't have to punish them as well! The

Jana's amusement didn't last for a week. Lawrence thought his incessant calls made Myriad feel loved but in all honesty, the whole thing only reminded Jana of her imminent death once she couldn't find an escape plan. She's a high school student, so her moves are restricted by her age. For one, she couldn't take Austin. Austin is a great guy— but in the end, he's just a part of the game. She can't hung herself on him when she knows he might not even be real in person. But it's hard trying to 'not' love the male lead. "You're spacing out." Spencer poked Jana's cheeks with his pen. "Is it because of your brother's call?" "Hmn." She won't dwell into why he knew about her dilemma. Austin taking a suspicious glance at them back and forth is the sole culprit. "He wants me to visit home. But I don't think I can safely go with the assurance of getting back whole and breathing. You know, there's a chance I'll die on the way.' The arranged plane crash appeared sooner than she had imag
THE BENEFACTOR (English) Task World 3: Targeting The Charming George Salinzer
THIRD INSTANCE: TARGETING THE CHARMING GEORGE SALINZER JANA lowered the cap on her head and tried her best to mix among the crowd. The small camera inside her makeshift lighter shines because of the streetlights. Not too far from her spot was a billboard of a perfume ad containing a man in his prime. He sat on a red loveseat with his tie askew and a bored expression in his face. Jana can see the arrogance and the indifference but she couldn't deny that he's extremely attractive. 'George Salinzer.' He's an anti-social man who managed to overthrow the entertainment industry because of his skills in acting, dancing and even singing. He was hailed the number one hottest guy in town and he's been resting in that spot for the last five years. He managed to be consistent for five unbelievable years! It is normal to have reporters following his tails. Just a week ago, he was almost attacked by a stalker. The woman claimed to be a reporter— fine, paparazzis had no clean representation i

"JANA, I need some juicy details, okay?" The editor in chief grumbled on the phone while chewing his dinner. Jana endured the unappealing noises. 'This is your boss, so hold your horses.' "You suggested this in the first place. Does this mean you can't really do it?" "You're wrong to think that on my part. I have to inform you that I'm doing my best but the guy was just so slick—I can't get him on the act!" It was like George Salinzer was very careful with his move. Like all this time he knows that Bernice of The East is following him. "Fine. But please be reminded that I'm not patient. I won't forget the good things you've brought to me before. I wish for those blessings to come again, okay?" Jana needs to bring back the glory of her muckraking ways. She hope James can help her in this. 'Yeah, fat chance. He's tight on a budget too.' "I will tail him for a few more days. If nothing comes up, I will try and find another subject before pursuing George. He's been unusually carefu

JANA WAS glad that the restaurant was not that far from her apartment. She managed to get inside right on time. James left already after giving her a brief 'good luck'. It looks like he's not interested with McKinley after all. Jana totally understand him. He probably hadn't taken his dinner yet. For James, nothing is more important than food. Wearing her black blazer and a large cap, she eyed every table until she found George's. Jana didn't have to look for long. There were a lot of people staring at his direction. It was just a matter of seconds to find the source of attention. It was a pity that Denise cheat can only accommodate her for one time. She wanted something like that for her too but until now, Jana doesn't know Vivien's special function. Except maybe in being her emotional companion, there's nothing unique about Vivien. For an Ai, she's quiet and never speaks about anything besides issuing plot information. She couldn't even get double points so Denise' suggestion

George's condo unit looks warm, and incredibly dusty. Jana sat unmoving in the couch. How can a handsome man like him have a dirty house? Though Jana should really change her perception about him. There's nothing normal about how he's acting right now. Vivien's information were twisted! Or that George is a player inside the game as well. She can't ask him that directly. "Do you know Director Sanders?" George lit a cigarette as he sat opposite Jana. "I'm sorry about the dust. It's been years since I last remember this place." "Yeah, I can figure that myself." Jana's nerves were frayed and fragile at the moment— she want nothing else but to flee from George. "And yes, I do know him. What about Mr. Sanders?" "He's my uncle." He stopped and failed not to show his grimace. "He's my uncle in paper. She's my mother's adopted brother, and I don't like him." In attempt to delay George, she asked, "Why?" She doesn't expect George to answer. Things like family problems should not be d

She debated whether bringing an extra piece of towel would help. 'Of course it does. Maybe George sweat a lot?' Jana really needed to visit the internet now. Vivien's suggestion surpassed her expectations though. She decided to agree with it. This is her first day on the job. 'Why do I hate it already?' "Fine. Let's go!" The heavy bag on her shoulders pulled her back but she persisted. This is only the starting point. She's going to get used to this soon enough. 'Yes. We have to be optimistic about everything.' "Vivien, what time is the shoot?" "It will start at 9 am. Host should arrive earlier than the male lead." "Got it." 'But I don't have a car?' Jana pursed her lips and stared at her reflection on the elevator. 'Do I have to take the subway?' "We can book a taxi, host." 'Booking a taxi? What an expensive way of living!' "Vivien, I ate nothing but instant noodles in the last three days. No one is more familiar with my financial status than you already are."
THE BENEFACTOR (English) 7
Ever since the day Jana first entered the studio, George has been looking at her with questioning expression everyday. As if he wants to study her but is afraid about what he will find out. After quietly mumbling to himself, "Huh, I'm so right.", he wouldn't tell Jana what's the matter. Jana can only leave the guy's head to rot on its own. On the fifth day of doing her job, George asked her to reserve a table at a restaurant after work. Jana did her job without asking. Observing George's movements and searching things on the internet about Director Sanders. Jana haven't met him yet but she knows it will be soon. She started to notice the tightness around George's eyes. The reason could only be his uncle. Jana didn't ask. She knows George hates it when she does. He will inform her once he already made a plan. In her opinion, a male lead like this is a trustworthy team mate. And so she patiently wait. The matter between Seline Chan and George was not settled that day. Georg
