They said they were just waiting for Charles to give his approval.
At this point, Charles felt the situation had taken a surreal turn.
Charles said, "I'll ask Skylar."
He quickly made the call. Skylar picked up right away. "Hey, Charles?"
"Are you driving? I'll keep it short. My manager just told me you have agreed to attend a variety show. Now, the production team is reaching out to me," Charles asked directly, cutting to the chase.

Charles' frustration boiled over. His patience with Ruth had worn thin.
Skylar explained, "Harvey reached out to me earlier. We met up and ended up talking about Ruth. His classmate works on the production team. Ruth is working as a print model right now."
"Unbelievable! Alright, don't worry about it. Harvey and I will handle it. I can't stand her anymore," Charles said, clearly exasperated.
