In the dining room.
Mrs. Wright and Mayor Cody had been seated and saw them come in.
Mayor Cody said smilingly, "You youngster just sit together. Take it easy. It's merely a normal family dinner. We don't have many guests at ordinary time, and Brayden seldom come back. Such a lively feast is not usual."
He looked approachable, with a hint of stateliness.
But his words were not aloof at all.
"Mr. Wright. That's very kind of you." Sylvia smiled. "I hear that you want me to be the consultant of National Day Gala?"
Mayor Cody felt a bit headache about this. He said, "Every year, we will spend some money on National Day Gala. However, the ratings were always low. And the rank of Larro TV Station fell behind all the other TV stations. So... I need your help this year."
"No problem," Sylvia replied simply.
Mayor Cody hesitated for a while and asked, "Can you be the publicity stunt for it?"
Sylvia looked at Mayor Cody. There was no fear in her eyes. She said calmly, in a neither overbearing nor servile tone, "To be honest, I don't want to show in public."
Mayor Cody felt a bit disappointed, but he soon hid it.
"Master Keturah" was a perfect stunt. It would attract endless audience to watch the gala.
Franklin looked at Sylvia impassively, feeling nervous for her.
And Mrs. Wright felt a bit embarrassed. When she was about to be mediator, Sylvia's cold and clam voice called out again.
"But you can trust me. Let me take charge of the gala. I promise you will be satisfied with every performance."
Mayor Cody raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's your plan?"
Sylvia turned her head aside slightly. Basked in the light from chandelier, her beautiful facial features were dazzling.
"For many people, 'Master Keturah' is extremely attractive. But how about the ensemble? Their sweats will be ignored if the name 'Master Keturah' steals all the attention. It can be a publicity stunt for once. But in the next year or the year after next year, it will not work."
Her word was logical and thought-provoking.
Mayor Cody said subconsciously, "Go on."
Sylvia paused and said, "So what we need is a feast for both eyes and ears for all the audience. It will allow them to never forget Larro, the ensemble of Larro and the gala night! Then they will look forward to our gala next year. The improvement of ratings needs real work instead of stunt."
Mayor Cody nodded at her frequently, "Nice plan. You are thoughtful."
Mrs. Wright felt proud of her, radiant with vigor, "Of course. Sibbie. My sis."
She really loved Sylvia.
And Franklin just looked at her obsessively.
She was so confident and beautiful when she was speaking.
It seemed that there was a halo around her making her so attractive.
Brayden was shocked. This lady was so thoughtful!
"Mr. Wright, I need to decide the designs, dances and lights of the stage." Sylvia didn't ask Mayor Cody for his suggestions but conveyed her idea to him directly without denial.
How aggressive she looked... How aggressive her tone was... If it was others, he would definitely be displeased. But he didn't feel angry at all about Sylvia but felt more convinced.
Franklin just sat close to Sylvia. He held her hand in his big palm, rubbing her fingers constantly with his rough fingers.
Sylvia gritted her teeth.
