Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 48

Chapter 48 Tit for Tat

“But what?” Elspeth was intrigued.

Abbie looked around. Only after making sure that no one paid attention to them did she lean over and whisper, “But the TV host is Blake’s diehard fan. You previously shot that intimate commercial with him, so I bet she will attack you instead.”

When Elspeth heard this, she didn’t think it was something to be wary of. On the contrary, she looked forward to the afternoon interview. “Alright then. Let’s see how she will attack me later.”

Sure enough, a TV host came to the office to interview Elspeth at 3.00PM. She was wearing a tight- fitting professional suit that wrapped around her curvy and slender body snugly. It was an enticing sight.

The male employees in the company stared at her in awe, hoping that she was there to interview them instead.

The host sashayed, swaying her body as she went. The minute she saw Elspeth, she felt a strong sense of intimidation. She’s so gorgeous! Her face and facial features are so exquisite, and even her hair carries a touch of elegance. So, this is my rival in love…

“Hello, my name is Lenora Owen, and I’m the host of the local TV station.”

“Hello.” Elspeth nodded at her with a smile. “I’m Elspeth Lynwood.”

“Without further ado, I’ll start the interview right away.” Lenora glanced at the cameraman on the side and signaled him to turn on the camera.

“It comes to my attention that you don’t know the patient. May I know why you decided to save that lady at that time?”

“I was bored and just happened to witness her collapsing,” Elspeth answered without hesitation.

“Did you accept the lady’s thanks and money after that?”

“She did thank me, but I didn’t accept any money from her.”

“Don’t you want any monetary reward from her?”

Elspeth looked at her aggressive stance and knew that this was her so-called attack. So, she changed the subject and asked, “Will the government give a monetary reward for the citizen’s bravery?”

“Of course!” Lenora secretly mocked Elspeth for being petty while donning a professional smile on her face. “In fact, it’s quite a lot of money too!”

“If I ask other questions, you’ll be able to answer me, won’t you?”

“Certainly!” Lenora was highly confident.

“When exactly will the money be paid out?”

Lenora had never considered this question. A qualified host would not allow the interviewee to divert the topic of discussion to this area, but she had asked unprofessional questions in order to humiliate Elspeth. Much to her bewilderment, Elspeth picked on her weakness. What a smart b*tch. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Her expression changed slightly. “I’m not so sure about that.”

Elspeth feigned confusion and puzzlement. “What? Didn’t you say you could answer me on everything? So, why can’t you answer my question? Are you a newly appointed host?”

“I—” Lenora was rendered speechless, and her expression turned slightly gloomy.

“The government rewards 1,000 dollars per person for their bravery and righteousness, but I have enough money to go by, so I won’t do a good deed deliberately for 1,000 dollars. Also, Miss Owen, please rehearse before the next interview. Don’t embarrass yourself.”

Then, Elspeth turned to the cameraman and raised an eyebrow. “Please edit this scene out of the footage. I don’t want Miss Owen to be humiliated.”

Lenora’s face flushed red due to rage, and she almost couldn’t control her temper.

The cameraman awkwardly mumbled, “B-But this is a live broadcast, not a recording.”

“Hurry up and shut it off! Can’t you see how mad Miss Owen is now?”

Lenora suddenly came to her senses and realized that this was a live broadcast. She swiftly regained her composure and apologized, “I’m sorry. I made a few blunders earlier, so I wasn’t pleased with myself. Please forgive me. Well, that’s it for today’s broadcast. Miss Lynwood, thank you for the interview. We’ll see you again next time.”

Then, she winked at the cameraman, signaling him to turn off the camera immediately.

On the other hand, Elspeth stretched her body lazily. “Is that it? I’m going back to work now.”

“Wait a minute! Why did you humiliate me just now?!” Lenora’s face turned nasty, and her gentle demeanor was thrown out the window.

Elspeth was dumbfounded. Is she actually trying to shift the blame right back to me?! “Miss Owen, I think you knew very well why I said those things.”

Lenora scowled. “You’re not stupid, after all. Alright, I’ll come clean to you since you know it all. But, I’m warning you to keep a distance from Blake. This is your last chance, or I won’t let you off the hook!”

“You honestly read too much into things, Miss Owen. Blake and I are just friends.”

“You’re bluffing! Will friends shoot ads as a couple? Drop your act already! If I catch you seeing Blake again in the future, you’re so dead.”

Elspeth simply cast an indifferent glance at the camera and smirked. “By the way, there’s something I forgot to tell you. I think your camera is still on.”

Lenora froze in horror. Then, she turned to look at the camera, and her face turned stark white when she spotted the flashing red light on the camera. Did everyone hear what I said?! Everyone heard my undisguised love for Blake and my vicious threat to Elspeth!

A horrified Lenora surged forward to turn off the camera before turning back to glare at Elspeth. “You did this on purpose, didn’t you?! You knew that the camera was still running, so you wanted to embarrass me!”

Elspeth shrugged and smiled indifferently.

Due to Elspeth’s popularity, many people watched her live interview. At this point, although the camera was turned off, they knew what had happened. As a result, Lenora’s reputation was utterly ruined.

‘Look at your favorite host! Haha, she always wears that gentle and soft-spoken appearance. This is new!’

‘She’s so petty! Oh my, she’s disgusting.’

‘I want to puke! How dare she like Blake?! Does she think Blake will like her back?!’

‘Elspeth is so dashing! ‘I have enough money to go by’! Wow, she’s so cool…’

The embarrassed Lenora didn’t want to stay there any longer. Since Elspeth disregarded her thoroughly, she wiped her tears in agitation and left with the cameraman.

Elspeth shook her head as she watched her leave. Then, she remembered that she needed Callum’s signature on one of her documents, so she took the documents and went to his office.

“Callum, I—” Before she finished, she spotted Callum’s phone on the table, and on the phone screen was the live broadcast that had just ended. She smiled brilliantly. “Aw, you watched my interview! Do you care that much about me?”

As soon as she said this, he quickly shut down the website and said faintly, “It popped up by itself.”

“Wow, your phone is quite user-friendly.” She smiled ambiguously. “What did you think about my interview?”
