Chapter 81
“You seem very surprised to see me, don’t you, Ms. Wight?” Hesper had already sat down on the guest table with a faint smirk, but Juniper was still standing in a daze, too surprised, almost astonished, and the scene dove into a moment of awkwardness.
“Juni, what’s wrong with you? Say something, quickly!” Her
assistant’s anxious reminder sounded in her earphones, and Juniper finally came back to her senses.
As she sat down gracefully, she tried to cover up her embarrassment from just now with a series of commendations. “Yes, it’s a little surprising. I didn’t expect our guest to be this young. You look so young and promising, Ms. Rivera.”
She placed quite a bit of emphasis on the last few words, giving off a
sarcastic tone.
Hesper chuckled all of a sudden. “Ms. Wight, didn’t you go through the script before you came into this interview as the host? It’s Ms. Lane, not Ms. Rivera.”
“Nonsense, you’re obviously…” Halfway through her exclamation, Juniper stopped abruptly. She remembered what she saw when she was going through the script backstage. The guest that they had invited today was indeed Ms. Lane. However, she had forgotten about it because Hesper was the one who took the stage.
“You’re Ms. Lane?”
“Other than that, who else would I be?”
Juniper felt a chill up her spine, then a wave of numbness crept underneath her scalp from the back of her head up to the front.
‘This woman is obviously Hesper. I’d still recognize her even if she’d
been burned down to ashes. How did she become Ms. Lane out of
nowhere?
“Ms. Wight, shouldn’t we be starting already? At the end of the day, this is still a live broadcast.” Hesper let off casual ridicule.
Hearing this, Juniper quickly adjusted her state and forced a smile.” That was only a joke to lighten the mood of the interview. We’ll
officially start the session now.”
However, anyone with a discerning eye could tell whether it was a joke or not.
The director sat silently behind the camera. His expression looked so dissatisfied that no one around him dared to approach him at this
moment.
He originally chose to entrust this project to Juniper because of her attractive and young appearance, but who knew that she would cause such a huge problem during her first interview?
Other colleagues were also whispering to each other. “Juniper
doesn’t seem to be prepared for this. How in the world can she make such a rudimentary mistake?”
“Who knows? Perhaps she thinks she’s a famous celebrity now, so she didn’t take the script seriously.”
Juniper’s assistant bit her lip as she heard the comments, but she dared not say a word.
She was just an assistant; what someone like her thought would not
matter.
Fortunately, the director gave those people a cold glare. “Shut up, and go back to your desk and study your script if you have nothing to do. Something like this had better not happen when you’re hosting your
own show!”
