Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett’s POV:

As Abner had said, I received the formal notice that Spencer would take part in the program this afternoon.

I was expecting that someone would take my place and interview Spencer. But in the end, I had to bite the bullet and do it myself.

While I was preparing for the interview questions, I saw that many of them were about Charles’s marriage. Of course, I skipped over them and only included questions about Spencer. I could not help but wonder how gossipy the person who had prepared this interview outline was. This was Spencer’s interview in the first place: Why were there so many questions about Charles?

Jokes on them, I had no intention of broadcasting my private life to the public.

The interview segment had finally commenced. I was on tenterhooks the whole time. I hoped Spencer would get my hint and not put me in the limelight.

Everything went well at the beginning of the program. I avoided talking about Charles, and Spencer had been understanding. He talked about his own experience with fervor and assurance.

But before I could be completely relieved, what I had been dreading happened. I asked about Spencer’s close friends. Among all people, he specifically mentioned Charles.

“In addition to him, I believe you have other interesting friends as well,” I said, averting the topic. I did not want to talk about Charles, especially when a lot of people were watching.

“I have few friends who grew up with me. Charles is one of them.” Spencer made no response to my conversational gambits. 

“By the way, I’m sure many of our audience is curious about Charles’s marriage,” he added with a smirk.

Oh my God! Just when I thought that things were going well, Spencer would play by the fire.

“How about we talk about your current relationship status? Do you have a girlfriend?” I tried to change the topic again.

Spencer ignored my question and smiled ambiguously. “Compared with my relationship status, everyone is probably more interested in Charles’s.”

 He paused for a second and winked at the camera. “I’ve prepared a photo of Charles’s partner that you’ve never seen before. The audience is lucky today.”  

I took a deep breath and bit my tongue in suspense. The crew of the program did not tell me about the photo in advance. I was so nervous that I felt that my throat became dry. Unfortunately for me, it would be rude to cut Spencer abruptly. Besides, this interview was being broadcast live.

A few seconds later, the photo Spencer was talking about was displayed on the big screen behind us. It was a photo of a little girl in a light pink princess dress. Her long hair was braided, and she looked cute. Fortunately, nobody could recognize her as she had her back to the camera.
