“Who knew Vicky was connected to Lise!”

Cheers and whispers filled the air as Lise, one of the show’s most prestigious guests to date, appeared on screen.

Casually, Vicky asked, “Lise, today’s episode involves us bringing someone close. Are you able to come?”

“Sure, give me a moment to get ready. I just woke up and haven’t even washed my face or changed out of my pajamas,” Lise replied, making a charmingly rueful face.

Impressed, the host said, “Lise, you look incredible even without makeup.”

Carrie watched from a distance, realizing Lise’s effortless look was carefully planned—an insider would spot the details missed by the public. She discreetly moved further from the center of attention, noticing Stewart did the same.

Their eyes met, acknowledging their shared insight, and they quietly chatted about their craft, slightly removed from the surrounding buzz.

Vicky ended her conversation, and the host eagerly turned to Carrie, inquiring, “Now, Carrie, who will you be inviting to the show?”

Have You Decided Which Friend…

The female MC, seeing the close bond between Vicky and Lise, quickly aligned herself with Vicky. She approached Carrie with a smile. “Carrie, I understand you’re new to showbiz. Don’t worry if you don’t have many connections in the industry; it’s perfectly okay to bring someone from outside.”

“Carrie, why not invite Asher?” Stewart raised his eyes to Carrie, observing her serene expression, as calm as a rose in the midst of winter. Despite the chaos around her, Carrie remained unaffected.

A male guest interjected with a tone of surprise. “Asher? Are you talking about the Asher I have in mind? Is that right?”

Suddenly, a member of the audience recognized Carrie. “Oh, now I remember! Isn’t Carrie the actress who’s working with Asher currently?”

“No wonder she’s co-starring with a leading star. She’s even more gorgeous in person!”

Yet, there were some critical murmurs. “I’ve heard some chatter about her trying to use Asher’s fame to boost her own, clinging to the success of a top star. Is she up to the same tricks today?”

“Asher is so committed to his craft, and here she is, a newcomer, attempting to shortcut her way to fame by leveraging his. It’s quite disgusting.”

Hearing these comments, Vicky interjected sweetly. “I’ve heard you and Asher are close. If you called him, he’d surely make it, wouldn’t he?”

It was a dilemma for Carrie. If she agreed, she’d face accusations of chasing fame. If she declined, it would imply she wasn’t actually close to Asher.

Realizing his mistake, Stewart gave Carrie an apologetic look, attempting to correct his blunder. “The ice-breaker activities are crucial for interaction. Bringing a good friend along would really enhance the experience.”

“It slipped my mind that Asher doesn’t usually do variety shows.”

Vicky quickly made a face, casting a significant glance at Carrie. “Lise is incredibly busy, but she came because of me. Surely Asher would do the same for you, right?”

Carrie replied, “Asher and I are simply colleagues. If he decides to come, that’s a favor; if he doesn’t, that’s his prerogative. But as someone new to this, I’d rather not owe him such a big favor.”

The host intervened to defuse the tension. “Carrie, have you decided which friend you’ll invite?”
