“Alright, if you really can’t handle it, you can call me for backup.” Lina offered.
Linda smiled. “I shouldn’t need to call you. After all, I’ve been in this industry for a while.”
Linda knew that if she didn’t let reporters ask their questions, it could lead to bigger problems later. It was better to address things head–on and avoid unnecessary complications.
“True.” Lina put her phone away. “I almost forgot that you’re Amber F.”
“Is that a compliment or an insult?” Linda questioned.
Lina replied. “Of course, it’s a compliment. Everyone acknowledges your skill.”
After the launch event ended, it was time for the press interviews,
As Linda had anticipated, the reporters were all focused on her. The film’s lead actor was a newcomer
without much hype, so it was normal for them to receive less attention.
“Ms. Felix, are you here as YK Media’s representative to prove something?”
Linda faced the camera and answered, “Whether I am or not is none of your concern.”
“Ms. Felix, do you follow the news of your ex–husband, Mr. Wilson?”
Linda replied, “No, I never pay attention to things or people that aren’t meaningful.”
“Ms. Felix, Mr. Wilson mentioned that you were his one and only spouse. What’s your take on that?”
She said, “I don’t have much to say. I believe the best answer was given four years ago.”
“Ms. Felix, if Mr. Wilson pursues you relentlessly in the future, will you respond?”
Linda answered, “No.”
“Ms. Felix, even if Mr. Wilson has truly changed, wouldn’t you consider giving him a chance?”
Linda replied, “A chance? That word doesn’t exist in my dictionary. Besides, giving too much of it is
meaningless.”
“Ms. Felix, if Mr. Wilson pursues you, what would you do?”
Linda answered, “I wouldn’t do much. My prospects are good, and I have plenty of admirers. He doesn’t
measure up.”
She glanced at Lina, signaling that she could step in to end the interview.
Lina moved forward and guided Linda away. “Thank you, everyone. The interview concludes here. Please contact Ms. Lane for any further questions”
in the car. Lina reflected on Linda’s responses “Are you really okay?”

Linda questioned, “What do you mean?”
“Your answers to those reporters just now,” Lina replied.
“It’s fine, don’t worry,” Linda assured her confidently.

The interview was broadcast in real–time, and soon, hashtags like #LindaSaysHeDoesn’t MeasureUp and # LindaAndWilliam began trending. This was entirely expected by Linda.
The impact of the news was most noticeable in the hot entertainment news.
Linda sat in her office, listening to Wendy’s work report.
“Ms. Felix, your answers were really bold,” Wendy said after watching the interview video. “You’re quite
fearless.”
Linda shrugged. “How else would I be your boss?”
“Do you really have no feelings left for Mr. William?”
Linda put down her pen and looked at her. “Are you bored?”
Wendy sensed the tension and quickly excused herself. “I’ll leave you to your work. I’ll come back later to collect the reports.”
Linda watched her leave and smiled bitterly. Emotions were
too intangible, and Linda was no longer a young girl anymore. Those games weren’t something she could afford to play anymore.
As for William, he could think however he liked.
In the president’s office of Wilson Group, William watched Linda’s interview video with a heartache. He had been given many chances, but he had failed to seize any of them.
Four years ago, when Linda had given him all her love, he had shunned her. Now, he desperately sought it.
It felt as if fate were playing a cruel joke on him, and it was no joke at all.
As William gazed at Linda on the screen and lost in thought, a commotion began outside his office.
