Chapter 314: The Spotlight +8 Pearls
โHello everyone, Iโm Summer, the head of Stewart Group. I apologize for the personal matters that have caused a stir recently, so Iโm here today to clarify a few things.โ
Francis, holding his interview notes, began asking the prepared questions.
โMs. Stewart, before we discuss who your boyfriend is, our audience has some questions theyโre curious about.โ
Francis knew Summer was here primarily to address the rumors. But to maintain high ratings, he decided to first heighten the audienceโs curiosity about Summerโs boyfriend.
โGo ahead,โ Summer said.
โCan you describe what kind of person your boyfriend is?โ
Thinking of Fraser and their recent events, she recalled his audacious and carefree demeanor, his laid-back approach. He could also be very gentle and quite dominating, managing everything effortlessly. Yet, her presenceโฆ
Summer smiled, โHeโs a man who makes me feel very secure.โ
Francis replied, โIt sounds like Ms. Stewartโs boyfriend is quite the partner! How did you two meet?โ
โIt was simple,โ Summer said, โhe saved me.โ
Francis continued, โWow, he saved you, and you feel secure with him. Can you describe how you two usually interact?โ
โThough he occasionally irritates me, most of the time, heโs actually very gentle.โ
The audience reacted, connecting the dots to Lucas of Aldridge Group, known for his charm and elegance. The crowd began to murmur, โIt must be Lucas! They should get together!โ
Francis noted the audienceโs reaction, โIt seems like everyone has guessed who Summerโs boyfriend might be, right?โ
Suddenly, the camera panned to a man in the crowd. Lucas was there, dressed in a silver-gray suit, exhibiting a gentlemanly demeanor. Francisโ eyes lit up.
โWe didnโt expect Mr. Trac from Aldridge Crown to be here today. Is he here perchanceโฆ heโsโฆโ
The audience got excited, shouting, โOfficial announcement! Marriage!โ
Summer was startled to see Lucas.
Francis, leaving Summer aside, stood in the middle of the stage and shouted, โLetโs invite Mr. Lucas to join us on stage.โ
Backstage, Winston was flabbergasted and rushed to the producer.
โThis isnโt right, isnโt todayโs interview supposed to be about Ms. Stewart? Why is Lucas being brought up on stage?โ
The producer, thrilled, said, โWhat do you know? This is what makes an interview!โ
Meanwhile, at the Graham Groupโs opulent office, Fraser lounged in his office chair, legs casually crossed, as he picked up a crystal photo album from the desk. His gaze was fixed on a little girl in the album; his fingertips brushed over her image, a slight smile on his lips. โAfter all these turns, Summer, you finally came back to me.โ
Just then, there was a knock on the office door. Mike, hearing the man inside say โCome in,โ opened the door and gestured for Jamie, the Vice President of Public Relations, to enter. Jamie had been summoned by Fraserโs assistant, Mike, earlier that morning. He was responsible for managing the global public relations of the Graham Group. Such a summons likely meant something significant was about to be announced.
Jamie walked into the office, standing before the desk, looking at the regal and handsome man seated there. โMr. Graham, what do you need?โ
Fraser set the photo frame back on the desk neatly, his voice low and casual, โIssue a global announcement on the Graham Groupโs official website today.โ
Nearing the contents of the announcement, Jamieโs face showed unmistakable shock; his voice trembled.
โMr. Graham, are you confirmingโฆ a marriage with Ms. Stewart from the Stewart Group? Forgive my bluntness, but your marriage has implications not just within Graham Group but also for broader social dynamics. I recommend that holding a shareholdersโ meeting might beโฆ prudent.โ
Jamie felt a chill run down his spine as Fraserโs icy gaze swept over him, goosebumps rising on his skin. Jamie bowed his head lower. โMr. Graham, Iโฆ didnโt mean that, itโs justโฆ this is reallyโฆ significant.โ
