The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 163

"I'm so sorry, Ms. Xavier. The exclusive interview scheduled for you today has had a last-minute change. The station director just informed me that your slot needs to be pushed back."

When the television network representative called, Sylvia Xavier was staring at her fresh manicure. She had chipped one of her fingernails somewhere, and she was overflowing with irritation.

"We already finalized the schedule. Was there some kind of emergency?"

"Not exactly an emergency," the rep replied with polite formality. "The network had to squeeze in a new program at the last minute, so we have no choice but to adjust your interview schedule."

Sylvia ran her fingers through her hair, pushing her long locks back in frustration.

Over the years, she had built massive influence across finance, business, fashion, and even the entertainment industry. She was a nationally renowned public figure.

Financial and business interview requests poured in endlessly, and she was a constant presence at high-end fashion shows and elite galas. Everywhere she went, she was praised and given VIP treatment. Being bumped from a scheduled interview was a first for her.

Sylvia swallowed her fury, knowing she couldn't lash out on the phone. "I understand," she replied coldly.

Ending the call, she grabbed her purse and drove straight home.

Changing into a loose silk nightgown, she walked barefoot across the plush cashmere rug and casually mixed herself a bowl of yogurt. Madeline Xavier had just returned from the spa, still wrapped in a bathrobe. Seeing her daughter lounging around, she immediately frowned. "Weren't you supposed to record an interview today? Why aren't you getting ready?"

"They pushed the schedule back," Sylvia replied casually.

"Pushed it back? How is that possible? Networks beg for your time. How dare they cancel your recording at the last minute?"
