Chapter 254

his eyes were icy, but it wasn’t worth being alarmed as his eyes were always icy. However, her heart skipped a beat for some reason.“Bring the other guest up,” he ordered, ignoring the host’s question, making her stumped for a moment. In all her years of being a host, this was her first time being ordered around onstage.Even as upset as she was, she still reflexively raised the microphone to her mouth. “Let’s welcome our next mystery guest.”The door opened once again, and what Amelie first saw was the oh-so-familiar white strap maxi dress.The owner of the dress left her hair hanging loosely around her waist, and she had a stunning face.Elyse?! The mystery guest is Elyse Clayton?!The other female guests’ countenances turned awful at Elyse’s entrance, and they all looked toward the director.None of them had forgotten how the production team had kicked the humiliated Elyse out just before the show began filming.You invited an ill-reputed celebrity back?! The director scratched his head uncomfortably while gesturing to Leo with his chin, signifying, ‘the one who pays gets the final say’.
