Chapter 141
This surely made others envious. This boy toy” was extremely good–looking, with a sweet smile and dimples. He looked just like a male protagonist from a comic.
Sometimes he’d wait for Cynthia to finish her meetings or streams. He’d sit there seriously reading a book. Even when he was just daydreaming, there was an elegant aura about him, like i distinguished young man from a wealthy family.
The boy was also very considerate, often bringing flowers and homemade meals filled with love, making everyone green with envy
Of course, everyone could see that the boy was courting Cynthia, who seemed not to have agreed yet. Cynthia avoided him like the plague whenever the boy came around.
Whenever he showed up, people teased him, saying, “Hey, Preston, did you win over her today?” The boy always beamed, showing off his pearly whites. “We’re not there yet, but I’m still trying hard.”
No one could resist someone who was so straightforward, sincere, sunny, and, most importantly, incredibly handsome. But Cynthia just didn’t like him. And it really bothered her.
Every time Cynthia saw Preston coming, it was like she’d seen a ghost–she couldn’t avoid him fast enough. She just couldn’t understand why Preston would like her
From his perspective, she was older than him and had been divorced. Truly, he was a typical rich kid who didn’t understand the world. Cynthia turned him down again and again. But this brat just kept coming back stronger each time.,
Cynthia was getting really annoyed. She had just finished streaming, only to see Preston waiting outside. Cynthia’s fingers clenched. She was already considering, if she gave him a good panch, would he finally come to his senses and leave her
alone:
Preston spotted Cynthia and quickly stood up to approach her. Just then, Freddie also came out of the office. “Cynthia, I have something urgent to discuss with you.”
To avoid Preston, Cynthia grabbed Freddie and hurried away. Freddie was utterly puzzled. After twisting and turning several times, Cynthia finally managed to lose Preston by ducking into a stairwell.
“Cynthia, pulling me around in broad daylight like this, people might think we’re secretly dating. Freddie joked. Cynthia let go of him, smiling brightly, “Are you flirting with me, Freddie?”
Freddie quickly waved his hands, smiling apologetically, his small mustache twitching upwards. Just kidding, don’t take it seriously. I actually need a favor from you” Right now, Cynthia was an important figure at their TV station
RNN wasn’t quite RNN anymore. Though it was not officially announced yet, it was almost certain that RNN would soon be acquired by Betrico Multimedia.
Betrico Multimedia suddenly acquired RNN, possibly because of Cynthia. Of course, after Whitney agreed to the acquisition, she helped RNN go public and offered Freddie a substantial share.
So, Freddie had always admired Whitney: “What’s the matter?” Cynthia slightly frowned, sensing something wasn’t quite right.
Freddie looked hesitant. “Here’s the situation. The variety show you’re working on had planned for a female guest, but due to scheduling issues, she can’t join. BCB suggested we send someone from our side to replace her.”
Freddie watched Cynthia’s expression closely. “Alison and I discussed it, and we decided you would be the best choice to replace the female guest for Mr. Lowe’s new variety show: Cynthia frowned, deep in thought.
Freddie continued to persuade her. “Cynthia, I know you have concerns because you’re not an artist and haven’t participated

in variety shows before. But you’re a host, a public figure. Your popularity is as high as those minor celebrities in the entertainment industry.
“Plus, in the current guest list, only four spots are confirmed. Me Lowe wants to invite some ordinary guests, and you could easily outshine them.”
Cynthia thought the variety show seemed like a joke. The recording was about to start, and out of eight spots for guests, only four were confirmed.
She suspected that the remaining four hadn’t been confirmed yet, which was why they were frantically looking for substitutes. “It’s just an island getaway show; you can treat it like a vacation on the house, relax and unwind.” Seeing that Cynthia remained silent. Freddie felt uneasy.
His task was to persuade Cynthia to join the show. But having known Cynthia for so long, he understood she wasn’t
someone easy to sway.
If she didn’t want to go, no amount of persuasion would work. Ereddie cautiously asked, “Cynthia, are you worried about something? If there’s anything on your mind…”
“Im going. I’m going!” Cynthia suddenly said. Freddie was a bit surprised. He thought. “Why is she so agreeable today? I haven’t even started using my persuasive skills yet.
Cynthia smiled and said, “Freddie, I’ll go. The crew is starting filming tomorrow, right? I’ll go home to pack my bags now.” Freddie looked at Cynthia in surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment
“Is there anything else, Freddie!” Freddie shook his head, “No, that’s it. Cynthia patted Freddie on the shoulder. Then I’ll go get ready now.”
Cynthia was the first to leave the hallway. Freddie was stunned for a moment before he snapped back to reality, unable to hide the smile on his face. He quickly called to report, “Ms. Bennett, it’s settled. I’ve completed the task you assigned, she agreed to participate in the show.”
After Freddie finished his call and left, a head popped out from the upper floor of the hallway. Preston was just looking for Cynthia, but she wasn’t around.
Knowing that Cynthia was avoiding him made him feel down. He randomly pushed open a fire exit and sat on the stairs, feeling sad. But soon, he heard the sound of a fire door opening from the floor below.
Then he heard Cynthia and Freddie talking. He wondered, Was Freddie suggesting that Cynthia should join a new reality show? Actually, there isn’t anything wrong with that, but what the call Freddie made afterward is weird”
Preston had a nagging feeling that Cynthia was being set up. His handsome face turned serious as he thought about the things Freddie mentioned
He thought, Jason’s new reality show? Funny enough, I know Jason. Two years ago, when Jason went to Friyx to shoot a commercial for a luxury brand, a model threw a tantrum, and Preston was the one who stepped in to save the day,
Thanks to Jason, Preston kind of entered the modeling industry with one foot in. Back then, Jason mentioned he owed him a favor, but they never kept in touch again. Fortunately, he still had Jason’s contact information.
Preston picked up the phone and dialed a number… Meanwhile, Jonathan was also on a call. It was Nina calling-
“Mr. Bennett, please don’t be angry. I honestly didn’t know this show was produced by Betrico Multimedia. When they invited me, they said they’d also ask you to participate, so I agreed,” Nina asked carefully. “Did they really not invite you?”
