Chapter 26 Teasing Eyes
Faye looked calm when she said it.
Galen was so dumbfounded that she couldn't help but stutter, "Gee, Mr... Mr. Farrell is indeed in good shape."
At this very moment, Galen was awed by Faye's expressionless look.
The plane arrived at Cocanel. Faye and Galen got off the plane.
They had just walked out of the airport when Galen's phone rang.
Galen answered the call as she walked forward with her suitcase, "Hello."
The person over the phone asked, "Galen, is Ms. Nash with you?"
Galen glanced at Faye and replied, "Yeah, she is by my side."
Then the person on the other end of the phone asked, "Is she going back to the company today?"
Galen quickened her pace to catch up with Faye, "Ms. Nash, it's from the company; they want to know if you are going back to the company today."
Faye, "Yes, I'll be there in twenty minutes."
Hearing that Faye would come back to the company, the person on the phone was over the moon, as if Faye was his lifesaver, "Okay, we will wait for Ms. Nash in the public relations department."
The person on the other end hung up the phone. Galen looked sideways at Faye, "Looks like he's an agent."
Faye said, "Hmm."
Back at the company, Faye stepped into the office, followed by three agents.
Faye walked to the water dispenser in high heels to get a glass of water. Then she drank some water and turned to look at the three indifferently, "What happened?"
The three agents exchanged a look helplessly, and finally, the eldest one said, "Ms. Nash, some time ago, a variety show invited three artists from our company for a reality dating show and it offered a high price."
Faye walked over to the chair with a water glass and sat down, "I've heard of that."
Variety shows of this type were very popular recently. Since a variety show held by a certain TV station became a hit some time ago, many TV stations had jumped on the bandwagon and launched similar shows.
As soon as Faye finished speaking, the eldest agent frowned, "But we recently received a notice that they would invite two average people to participate to increase the ratings of the show."
Faye, "Average people?"
The agent, "Yes, it would be fine if all the participants are from showbiz. After all, everyone knows it's just a show, but with average people joining in, I'm afraid..."
That some make-believe show would turn into reality.
The agent didn't finish his words, but Faye understood his concerns.
Faye was silent for a moment and then said, "What did the person in charge of the show say?"
The agent said, "We have negotiated, but they refused to change the program rules."
That made sense. A variety dating show with average people taking part was bound to make big ratings. There was no reason for the show producers to change it.
They were all capitalists and it was completely out of their consideration whether there would be any accidents on the part of the stars.
Faye pondered for a while and said, "How about they find a reliable person and let him pretend to be an average person on the show?"
The agent looked upset, "We have also thought about it, but it's still a risky move. The three people who signed the contract this time are all newcomers. They don't have any experience, and what if they develop some feelings for the average people? They will be in trouble even though the so-called average people are just actors hired by the show producers!"
Faye raised her eyes, "When will the show start recording?"
The agent, "A month and a half later."
Faye, "You guys go back first. I'll figure it out."
The agent nodded, "Okay, Ms. Nash, I'm sorry you have to handle all this. The person in charge of the show is quite cunning, and it's hard to deal with him."
Faye pursed her lips, "I know."
