Chapter 18 Questioning
Chapter 18 Questioning
"Nothing." Jeremy looked away with a decadent look on his face, "Emma, I've been tired lately. Don't distract me to take care of you, okay?"
His voice softened and Emma's heart was somewhat soothed, "I told you to go to Logan and you wouldn't listen!"
In Emma's heart, going to Logan was the right thing to do. Elena had married Logan, so the Brown family would take care of Jeremy anyway. But Jeremy didn’t listen, and even felt sorry in his heart.
"Stop, I don't want to hear any more of this!" Jeremy got impatient, and Emma didn’t dare to say more.
Emma nestled into his arms, "Jeremy, I've done everything for you. You mustn't do me wrong!"
Her words came to Jeremy's mind as if they were reminding him of something. It caused him to drift off and inexplicably think of Elena.
Elena had gotten Logan's permission and went to the office with extra ease. But as soon as she stepped into the office, Sophia couldn't wait to come over and hold her, "Elena, it’s bad!"
"What's wrong?"
"It’s said that Aria in Group one has some relations with KL Group, so she has a well-thought-out plan for Logan's interview. She has also asked the chief editor and applied for a switch with us, so now it's us who will go to interview Daisy!"
The smile that had flooded Elena's face stiffened for a moment, "Why didn't you say anything about this yesterday? Now the temporary swap makes all the preparations we made yesterday wasted, doesn't it?"
"But what can we do? They have social connections, but we don't!"
Before the words were out of her mouth, Coral had walked over with a dark face, "Sophia, Elena, come over for a meeting!"
Sophia gave Elena a look and silently followed Coral into the office, "What are we going to do now, Editor-in-Chief? Do we just give up on Mr. Brown's interview?"
At those words, Coral's dark face grew sullener, "Then what else can we do? The Group one claimed that they could get Logan’s interview. That's why the chief editor made the decision on the fly and we followed suit."
Sophia lowered her head, unable to lift her spirits. Coral let out a long sigh, "Actually, it's not bad to interview Daisy. Compared with Logan's eccentric and changeable nature, it's easier to deal with Daisy actually. You two are going to do an interview plan about her, and I'll contact her."
"Okay." Elena nodded, a pent-up anger stored in her heart. She shouldn't have mentioned it to Logan if she'd known what she'd done was all for someone else.
"Go out first and remember that you don't have to care what Group one says. We just need to take care of what's in front of us!"
"Got it, editor-in-chief." Sophia nodded seriously, but couldn't help but add hatefully, "Humph, I'd like to see what they're capable of. If they can't deal with Mr. Brown after boasting, they'll be shameful!"
Coral looked agreeable, "Come on, we should have faith that we won't lose to Group one!"
Elena mentally sighed in chagrin and was afraid they were going to be disappointed.
Sophia left the editor-in-chief's office in depression, while Aria had already held her head high to come over and show off, "Gee, Sophia, what happened to you? Why are you lowering your head? Are you sad at the thought of being frustrated at Daisy?"
"What are you so proud of? Don't you just rely on social connections? We still don’t know whether Mr. Brown will say yes or no!" Sophia was disgruntled.
Elena took her hand, "Let's find Daisy's profile first."
Aria grunted, "Why not? I gave a call to my executive friend in KL Group just now and there was an immediate call back telling the editor-in-chief that Logan had agreed to this interview!"
"How can that be!" Sophia exclaimed out, knowing well that Logan had refused all interviews a few years ago. It didn't matter who invited him. So how could he really say yes this time?
"Why should I lie to you?"
"Elena..." Sophia's face was mixed with joy and anger, completely unsure of what to do in response, "How to do? I really regret it! Why haven’t I striven more, in case my idol’s interview was done by myself?"
"Bring your mind back and stop thinking about it." Elena pinned her down in her seat, "Remember, admitting defeat at this point would be exactly what they want! Even if they are pleased with themselves, we can't destroy our own power. "
"Elena, don't you feel sorry for yourself?" Sophia asked her in a whisper. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
A look of helplessness flashed across Elena's face. It was really a pity. She particularly invited Logan because she worried that he would refuse, but now someone else picked up this bargain. She felt wronged a lot. But anyway, they still had to make Daisy agree.
"That's why we have to prove we're not worse than them, right?"
Sophia glanced at Aria's smug face, secretly clenching her fist, “Right! It's a little early for us to admit defeat!"
Sophia's fighting spirit was instantly aroused, and she couldn't help but shout, "Come on!"
Elena burst out a laugh and buried her head into her work.
Group one had made an appointment with Logan and it was going extraordinarily well. But on Elena's side, there was no progress at all. Daisy's assistant had been politely declining, and they didn’t have a chance.
All day long, Group two all took a big blow. Towards the end of the day, Sophia came over and bumped her arm, "Elena, there's a handsome guy looking for you!"
Elena looked up suspiciously, handsome guy?
As she thought, she looked in the direction Sophia was pointing. A familiar figure caught her eye. It was Jeremy!
Sophia squeezed her eyebrows, "Elena, who is that? Is it your husband?"
"No." Elena immediately denied it, walking out and pulling Jeremy with her. Jeremy wasn't annoyed by her tugging him along.
She did not stop until she reached a stairwell where no one was in sight. Elena chilled, "Jeremy, what are you doing here?"
Jeremy shrugged with a calm face, "I stopped by to see you."
"Nuts!" She rolled her eyes, clearly not wanting to spend time with him here.
"Elena!" Jeremy clasped her hand, a quick flash of struggle in his eyes that was quickly covered up, "I know all about Shirley."
Elena immediately shook off his hand subconsciously and looked at him as if he was a fool, "So what? Have you come to denounce me publicly for my ‘crimes’ too?"
"No." Jeremy shook his head, "I was just a little worried about you, so I came over to check on..."
"Heh!" Elena snorted slightly, "Do you think I'm still the same stupid Elena I used to be?"
The old Elena would believe whatever he said, but now she didn't believe them at all!
