Chapter 41 Flipped
Chapter 41 Flipped
"Come here, Elena Bush!" cried Coral, the chief editor.
Confused as Elena was, she stood up and came into her office, "May I help you, Miss Coral?"
"Elena, I have something to tell you. You did a great job last month because you have successfully interviewed two high-profile figures. How talented yet young you are!" Coral praised her highly.
"Thank you. I just did what I should." she smiled and answered her calmly.
"So I decided to give you another assignment, interviewing Jeremy Smith of Group Smith who married recently. I hope you can make an appointment with him and finish this interview successfully."
Jeremy Smith? Who married recently? So she would interview her brother-in-law?
Elena wan utterly unwilling in her heart. She knew it was a small world. But she never thought her work would get related to Jeremy this soon. What was worse, she was the only person responsible for this assignment. She just wanted to refuse.
"Miss Coral, I am afraid I can't..."
Coral frowned, "Why not? He went to our company for you, right? Several colleagues have witnessed it. Now that you know each other, you are the perfect one to do the job!"
"Not really. Coral. We know each other but we are not friends." Elena explained hurriedly.
"Elena, I give you this job because I think you are competent and promising. Don’t let me down!" Coral’s voice went cold and her look was unhappy.
"I get it." Elena replied, just swallowing her words unwillingly that nearly came out of her mouth.
Hearing this, Coral was relieved and said, "No worries. It is not difficult this time. Since you are friends, I believe you will have a pleasant communication. The interview just consists of some questions regarding his recent marriage. You can draft interview questions and send me to check later."
"Okay." Elena nodded and walked out of Coral’s office, gloomy and sad.
Looking at her poor face, Sophia couldn't help asking, "What happened?"
Elena didn’t know how to explain this, so she just mentioned the interview briefly. Sophia saw Jeremy Smith last time and nodded, "So, the chief editor asked you to interview him?"
She nodded, but Sophia couldn't make out and asked "I know him, that handsome man who came here last time. What’s the problem?"
"Never mind." Elena didn't want to gossip about it everywhere, so she had to bury it in her own heart.
"What? Something nasty?" Aria's sharp voice came again.
Looking up and seeing Aria, Elena was confused and turned to Sophia. When did Aria come back from business?
Noticing this, Aria smiled, "What? Afraid to see me? What can I do? Eat you up?"
"No," said Elena.
Aria scorned, "You should thank me. I proposed the interview to the chief editor for you especially!"
So she did it. Elena immediately realized why she got so unlucky this time...
Sophia heard the conversation and sensed something weird, "Is there something wrong about this interview?"
"Not at all, but I am afraid someone did something nasty and didn’t fear to show up after the wedding, let alone facing his wife!"
Elena ignored her sarcasm and said quietly, "Aria, you are over-thinking. I will surely strive to finish the task since it’s my work."
How could she be so calm? The sarcasm in Aria's eyes went deeper, "You brazen woman. He has married, and you are still so eager to stick to him. Shame on you!"
"Aria!" Sophia stopped her. She didn’t understand what Aria said, but she could totally get her sarcasm and scorn. "Elena is not that kind of people. Whatever you think of her, please don't judge others with your vulgar mind!"
"You say me, vulgar!?" Aria glared at her.
Sophia stiffened, "I am just telling the truth. Furthermore, the interview belongs to Group two, so you should mind your own business."
"Aria, anyway, it is my privacy, so it is none of your business." Elena retorted instantly.
Aria was just attacking them with words and didn’t have guts to take action. So she just snorted coldly and telling herself she had various ways to crush Elena later. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
As Aria returned to her own place, she checked her contact list and really found that familiar name. So she wrote a message and send it...
Seeing Sophia was still indignant, Elena comforted, "Don't quarrel with her for me next time. What if she makes trouble for you?"
"I am not scared. And I don’t think she can interfere with Group Two." Sophia held her head high and added, "Besides, my parents have always discouraged me from doing this job. If she really makes me
suffer, I can just quit."
Elena felt great gratitude and said sincerely, "Thanks."
Sophia smiled sweetly, "Elena, in fact, I should thank you. But for you, I would never have a chance to see my idol in person!"
Elena was surprised and burst into laughter immediately, "In this case, I should also say thank you to your idol?"
"Ah! Don’t make fun of me." Sophia blushed.
To be honest, Sophia couldn't tolerate Aria keeping making trouble for Elena. "You didn't do anything wrong. In my opinion, she just gets back at you because you interviewed my idol instead of her."
Smiling bitterly, Elena knew there was at least another reason. Aria thought she was a shameful mistress.
...
The interview draft was finished soon. Since Jeremy was married recently, Elena came up with a theme more related to his life and marriage. Coral checked it and approved.
"The draft is good. Since Jeremy and you are friends, you can make an appointment first. Later I will arrange him to come here and get photographed for the cover."
"OK." She nodded, feeling worried about the interview.
"Oh, one more thing. Thanks to you earlier, we had interviewed Logan Brown successfully. The magazine became bestseller immediately and we will print more to meet the demand! The chief editor will definitely reward you in the meeting next Monday!"
"Really?" Elena asked in surprise with a happy look.
"Of course." Coral took out a magazine on her table and said, "it was the sample printed before. You can can keep it."
K... keep it?
Elena looked down and stared at the handsome man on the cover. Logan wasn’t photographed for the cover at first. But later he gave her one. In the picture, he looked less stern and softer in the leisure wear.
As usual, he was good-looking with a prominent nose and thin lips. He seemed to be frowning slightly. And his eyes, his bright and beautiful eyes...
Elena blushed just looking at his photo. She turned to Coral, "Th... thank you, Coral!"
When she got off work later, she looked at the magazine and again she was attracted by the handsome man on the cover. She put it away quickly and found her heart beating fast. That was, flipped.
After returning to the villa, Elena went to the second floor with the magazine hidden in her bag, fearing it would be seen by others. Not until did she put it under the pillow than she relieved.
"What are you hiding?" Logan was amused and asked.
When did he come here? Elena was taken aback. She quickly sat on the bed and shook her head, "No... nothing!"
Anyone could easily see through her bad lie. And that made Logan even more curious. He came closer and happened to see something looking like a magazine.
"If so, let me have a look?"
"No, no way!" She rejected without hesitation. She sat straight, determined not move an inch unless he left right now.
Logan didn't insist and left her bedroom, "Well, I give up."
Elena let out a long sigh. She could just tell him this magazine was given to her by her company. But now he just showed up and she couldn’t help hiding it instantly as if she didn’t want to show it to him. What happened to her?
She carefully took out the magazine and tried to find a better place to hide it.
Outside the door, Logan went away and then came back. When he saw his face on the cover, his eyes were warm and he smiled happily.
