Is it true that a production unit and its Team Leader (TL) went through a COVID-19 ordeal? TL has been tight on maintaining the quality of the show that the risk of COVID-19 seemed to have been overlooked.
In the process of coming up with episodes, the production team was instructed by TL to conduct research on topics that could entice viewers. These days, even drama materials are based on real experiences, which have a strong draw on the audience. However, the instruction of TL violated the management’s memo of going out of town, which is in compliance with government restrictions. The production unit informed TL that they have enough episodes for replays. TL refused the idea.
The production unit could not disobey TL, as they were on a per project compensation. Hence, no work meant no pay. After going out of town for research, the members came home and were swabbed. The results were positive for a number of staff. TL told the staff to keep quiet; their medical needs will be taken care of and they have nothing to worry.
The stricken staff was replaced by new members, who were subsequently hit by the virus as well. No amount of secrecy could be toned down. The management found out and called TL to explain. TL defended the position and the advertising revenue seemed to have been important. Given the circumstances and possible complications, the management made a company-wide decision to curb the spread of the virus. The irony of it all is that TL was allegedly found to be covid positive.

Friendship and Mr. Flawless
Steadfast Woman (SW), Creative Homemaker (CH), and Balanced Assessor (BA) have maintained their friendship since they started careers. What was remarkable is that they reached their industry status based on merits and achievements. Hence, they shared common ground.
BA has been the constant listening ear and steadfast friend. She supported SW and CH during dark times, but they never imagined that one day, BA would open up. According to BA, Her Man (HM) often leaves their bed in the middle of the night to spend time in their library. This behavior did not bother BA given that HM needs the silence to cope with work. She returned to sleep when HM was not next to her. One night, BA realized HM was spending too much time in the library. She stood up and prepared coffee for him.
As BA approached the library, Household Worker (HW) in her sexy night outfit and disheveled hair stepped out. BA dropped the coffee mug. HM rushed out of the library to see what happened. He was in his boxers. BA rushed back to their bedroom. HM said he asked HW to bring him coffee. BA kept quiet.
SW and CH asked BA why she did not probe. BA admitted she might be unable to handle the possible truth, as her intuition said something was fishy. Like her usual advice, the two said she should avoid fighting with HM to keep the marriage smooth. After a few days, BA fired HW. HM did not say anything.
Meanwhile, SW and CH talked about BA and giggled at the type of competition BA had. After all, their partners, who allegedly had bouts of infidelity, had women of higher stature than HW.
