Suddenly, Mad Dog forcefully pushed open the door to his office, the door slamming hard against the wall, the sound echoing throughout the office area. Everyone was drawn to the unexpected commotion. Two voluptuous Black women followed him, dressed in tight clothing, their large breasts and hips swaying as they walked, seemingly showcasing their allure.
Mad Dog held a black box in his hand, his gaze sharp and somewhat smug as he gradually made his way to the center of the office. The previously noisy discussions came to an abrupt halt; everyone fell silent, all eyes focused on Mad Dog and the box in his hand. His appearance signified the announcement of the recipient of this project news, a significant moment for every team.
Eileen's heart raced; she felt her palms beginning to sweat. Mad Dog walked steadily toward the center of the office, with the women still following him, their steps light and confident, seemingly oblivious to everything around them. Everyone in the office held their breath, nervously watching his every move.
Mad Dog stopped in the center of the office, surveying the room with a sly smile on his lips. "Ladies and gentlemen!" His voice was loud and powerful, capturing everyone's attention. "I know you are all waiting for this moment; this project news will determine the future of our television station. Whether we can rise again depends on this one opportunity!"
His gaze swept over everyone, lingering on several team leaders' faces. Eileen felt Mad Dog's eyes pass over her, her heartbeat quickening. She knew this was a major test for her and her team; if successful, it would not only affirm her abilities but also be a crucial opportunity for the team's future development.
Mad Dog raised the black box in his hand, and everyone's gaze followed suit. "Inside this box is the detailed plan and funding for this project—$30,000 in funding. The person who receives this box will be responsible for this project."
The atmosphere in the office grew increasingly tense as everyone awaited Mad Dog's next words. Eileen could feel her palms growing wetter; various possible outcomes flashed through her mind. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself as she prepared for what was about to come.
Mad Dog's smile widened gradually until he stopped, locking his gaze on a particular direction and lightly tapping the box with his finger. "So, the person responsible for this project is—" he paused deliberately to build suspense, "Eileen Harper and her team!"
Silence enveloped the office before it erupted into sounds of surprise and admiration. Eileen felt an indescribable excitement; her efforts had finally paid off. Mark and Lisa immediately embraced her, their faces beaming with joy. Her head buzzed as if she couldn't believe it was all real.
Mad Dog approached them, handing the black box to Eileen with a look of appreciation and expectation in his eyes. "Well done, Eileen; don't let me down." His tone carried a clear warning but was more affirming of her capabilities.
Eileen took a deep breath to steady herself and nodded firmly. "Thank you; we won't let you down." Her voice trembled slightly but was resolute and strong. She could feel the weight of the heavy box in her hands, as if her entire future rested within it.
Mad Dog nodded and turned back toward his office, with the women trailing behind him, wearing smug smiles. The others in the office continued discussing among themselves; although some were disappointed, there was more congratulatory sentiment directed toward Eileen's team.
With this funding, they immediately began work. Although thirty thousand dollars is a considerable amount, Erin knew that this money needed to be used in the right places to maximize its effectiveness. First, they had to go to Spain for an on-site investigation, which meant that travel and transportation costs would take up a large portion of the budget. Erin and her team realized they had to be frugal, ensuring every penny was well spent.
Erin, Mark, and Lisa sat around a small table discussing various possible plans. They were researching ticket prices from various budget airlines, trying to find the most cost-effective flights. "We could consider taking a night flight; that way we can save on one night's accommodation," Lisa suggested, quickly jotting down various options in her notebook.
"That's a good idea. Also, once we arrive in Spain, what modes of transportation should we choose?" Mark asked, his brow furrowed. They needed to consider not only the transportation from the airport to their destination but also how to get around Esperanza Town.
"I looked it up; public transportation in Spain is quite developed. We can take a bus to the nearest big city and then transfer to local trains or buses to the town," Erin replied, having done some homework in advance. "In the town, we can rent bicycles or small motorcycles; it's both economical and convenient."
They discussed repeatedly, considering every detail until they finally formulated a detailed itinerary. From choosing budget airlines to arranging local transportation, every step was precise to ensure the funds could be maximized. This arrangement saved expenses while providing flexibility for their investigation.
The next focus was preparing interview topics and reporting issues. Erin opened her notebook and listed the key questions they needed to investigate. "First, we need to understand the background and history of the Holy Angel Cult before delving into their activities and rituals," she said with determination in her eyes. "We need to find local believers and gather first-hand information so that our report can have depth and authenticity."
"We also need to be cautious; such cults do not easily disclose internal information and may be hostile towards our investigation," Mark reminded them, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
"Exactly, we must keep a low profile and not attract too much attention," Lisa agreed. "At the same time, we need to prepare recording and photography equipment to ensure we can document all important evidence."
As their discussion progressed, their plan became clearer, with every detail carefully considered. Erin felt the cohesion and determination of the team; she knew they were about to face a significant challenge, but as long as they worked together, there was nothing they couldn't accomplish.
Throughout the afternoon, they developed a detailed itinerary and determined the focus of their interviews and reporting direction. Erin felt both nervous and excited; this investigation was not only an important opportunity in her career but also a chance to prove her abilities to the world. She took a deep breath, ready to face the upcoming challenges, filled with boundless hope and anticipation.
