Carrie rolled her eyes, her tone dry as she clarified, “It’s just work.”

Narrowing his eyes, Kristopher let out a sarcastic snort. “Short on staff at Silver Elephant Media? Or do you just prefer handling things personally with Mr. Rodgers?”

With an exasperated glance, Carrie snatched up her phone and stepped aside.

Carrie sank into the sofa and answered the call.

Soren’s polite voice came through. “Have you eaten? Care to join me for dinner?”

“I just ate. What’s on your mind?” she replied, her eyes drifting to Kristopher. He sat alone, gracefully using his utensils as he ate with quiet composure. Even when he ate in a hurry, he did so with an air of elegance, his noble presence making the scene almost soothing to watch.

She couldn’t help but think of the phrase “a sight for sore eyes.”

Soren’s voice snapped her back to the present. “There’s a variety show happening the day after tomorrow. They need a guest for a single episode. So… what do you say?”

Carrie frowned in confusion. “Is this tied to the new drama? I’m not sure I’m the best fit. Shouldn’t Asher be the one to go instead?”

Since she wasn’t officially signed with Silver Elephant Media, it didn’t make much sense for her to participate if it wasn’t tied to the drama.

“No,” Soren clarified. “It’s a reality show. Your charm and looks could really draw fans. Right now, you don’t have a solid fan base, and when something trends, critics can hijack the narrative. This could be the perfect chance to start shaping a positive public image.”

Carrie had pondered Soren’s perspective before. While her passion lay in acting, she knew that in a world driven by popularity, steering clear of variety shows could make her career unnecessarily challenging.

Yet, after enduring a string of negative headlines, she felt it was wiser to stay under the radar for the time being.

“I think it’s better if I keep a low profile for now,” Carrie responded politely but firmly.

“This sounds like a great opportunity,” a deep voice interjected unexpectedly.

Startled, Carrie glanced up to see Kristopher standing over her.

Surprised, she looked up, meeting his gaze as he stood beside her, towering slightly as he looked down.

He was close enough for Soren to catch his voice and ask, sounding intrigued, “Is he with you right now?”

“Yeah, he is,” Carrie admitted.

Kristopher’s face remained unreadable as he spoke, his voice calm yet firm. “You can’t keep hiding forever.”

Carrie covered the phone’s mouthpiece and shot him a glare, her annoyance clear.

Kristopher simply shrugged, a hint of challenge in his voice. “What? Am I wrong?”

“I’ve got things to take care of, so I’ll hang up now. My decision still stands,” Carrie said into the phone, politely cutting Soren off before ending the call.

She turned off the phone, her brow furrowed as she looked up at Kristopher. “Did you really have to embarrass me in front of my boss?”

Kristopher’s expression grew dark as he responded, “Do you honestly think I did that to embarrass you?”
