Chapter 345:

Unseen by the host and guests who were engrossed with the onscreen interaction, Kristopher caught the audience’s attention first. Excitement sparked among them as murmurs spread rapidly.

“Who is that man? He’s even more striking than Asher!” “Is it even possible to be that attractive?”

The stir among the audience eventually drew the attention of those on stage, prompting them to turn and discover the source of the disruption.

Carrie’s reaction was emotional; upon catching sight of Kristopher, she was momentarily paralyzed, as if hit by a sudden shock. What brought him to this broadcast?

In that instant, the director, too, rushed to the scene. Disbelief had marked his expression when an audience member relayed who had arrived—compounding when his assistant confirmed Lise’s presence. It clicked for the director then that Kristopher was likely here for Lise. It was common knowledge in showbiz circles that Kristopher adored Lise, placing her on a pedestal above all else.

With Kristopher, Lise, and Asher all involved, the episode’s viewership was destined to skyrocket. Contemplating this, the director couldn’t contain his enthusiasm, beaming as he approached Kristopher.

“Mr. Norris…” he said, ready to inform him about Lise waiting backstage.

However, Kristopher, seemingly oblivious, walked right by him, heading towards his destination.

At that moment, as Carrie’s and Kristopher’s eyes met, there was an undeniable connection. Within his deep, dark eyes, she perceived an unwavering resolve. Despite her shock, she acknowledged as he approached that he was indeed there for her. Panic surged within her, her hand tightening on the microphone until her knuckles blanched.

The scene she had often fantasized about, now a reality, did not bring happiness but anxiety. The urge to escape overwhelmed her, yet she was at a loss for how to handle the imminent situation. However, leaving the recording at this point would surely ruin her career.

Her mind turned blank, and her lip caught between her teeth in a futile attempt to calm herself by reminding herself that it wasn’t a live show. She hoped to discuss the situation with Kristopher later, perhaps even redoing this part of the program.

Stewart quickly understood the gravity of the moment. Mistakenly believing Kristopher had come to disrupt Carrie for Lise’s sake, he confronted him. “Mr. Norris…”

Receiving a cold glance from Kristopher, Stewart instinctively retreated, stepping aside to let him pass.

Kristopher paused in front of Carrie, his expression aloof as he observed her silently. Finally, he broke the silence. “Why weren’t you upfront about being on the show?” His voice was cool but had an underlying softness, reminiscent of a gentle wind that stirs troubled waters, calming yet concealing deeper turmoil.

From the sidelines, the director felt a flicker of relief that he hadn’t brought up Lise prematurely. Yet, a new worry dawned—Was Kristopher really here because of Carrie? Might the station manager have been safeguarding Carrie instead of Vicky?

Considering the connection through Lise was tenuous at best, why would Kristopher support a show for Vicky? A vivid memory of how they had taunted Carrie sent an unsettling shiver through the director.

Through some ironic twist of destiny, they had alienated the one person who most deserved their backing! Carrie’s eyes stayed fixed on Kristopher’s suit collar before she finally spoke. “I figured you weren’t fond of variety shows.”

“I’m not,” Kristopher answered with a deep, steady tone, pausing before adding, “But I’ll make an exception for you.”
