The questions and details of the talk show today had been printed out by Susan Reed beforehand and given to Lucy.
She only needed to memorize the answers and remember not to make any mistakes.
The show was held in a TV studio.
The talk show lasted approximately three hours, and the process was relatively pleasant.
This was not Lucy’s first time participating in these talk shows, so she was able to respond effortlessly even when the talk show host deliberately strayed off the script.
When the program ended, it was already 2:30 pm.
Lucy had not eaten lunch, so her stomach was rumbling in protest.
Once she had changed her clothes, she left with Carina.
As they walked out, the two of them discussed where to eat later.
Unexpectedly, she saw Simon Wilburn emerge from the opposite side.
At this time, they were still inside the TV studio where the show was recorded. This entire building belonged to a major TV company, so it was normal to see celebrities come and go.
It was not out of the ordinary to run into Simon Wilburn here.
Since they were already familiar with one another and had an upcoming movie together, their relationship was decent.
Lucy nodded her head at him and smiled. “What a coincidence. Are you here for filming?”
When Simon Wilburn walked in earlier, his face clearly indicated that he was in a bad mood.
However, as soon as he saw that the person who greeted him was Lucy Katz, his face burst into an ecstatic smile.
He almost ran over to her and said, “Yes, why are you here?”
With a smile, Lucy motioned towards the recording studio she was in earlier.
“I was here for a talk show.”
“Oh, I see.”
When both of them had replied, it seemed like they had run out of things to say.
Feeling that the situation was a little awkward, Lucy was going to just send her regards and leave. Yet unexpectedly, Simon Wilburn looked at the time on his watch and said, “I have another program here, but it’s still early. The recording only starts at 4:00 pm, and I haven’t had lunch.”
With that, he asked her directly, “By the way, have you had lunch?”
“Not yet.”
Simon Wilburn’s eyes lit up upon hearing that. He smiled at her. “Then, let me treat you to a meal, as payback for the trouble I caused you the last time.”
Last time?
Lucy was speechless for a moment before she could react.
Of course, she knew what he was talking about. It was about their previous scandal.
It was that time when they were secretly photographed in the underground parking lot.
He should not have mentioned it. Now that he mentioned the incident, Lucy was reminded of Joel’s vile face.
As she remembered Joel’s warning to her, her face paled.
She quickly turned his offer down. “It’s okay, I still have something to do. Maybe next time.”
When Simon Wilburn heard her answer, he did not seem to notice anything unusual but appeared slightly deflated.
“Oh, since you’re busy, then maybe next time. In that case, I won’t hold you back anymore.”
Lucy nodded. The two of them said their goodbyes and left.
Once they walked out of the building, there was a car waiting for them.
When they got into the car, Lucy relayed an address of a restaurant to the driver.
This was a restaurant that she had visited before, and the food was good. Since it was rare for her to have some free time, she wanted to go back there and treat herself to a mini vacation.
