Chapter 52 - 52: Please Continue
Linda’s face darkened. Just when she was about to explain, she remembered the vast number of reporters in the venue and thought that if she were to say it out loud, the headline of tomorrow’s newspapers would definitely be her and Gabriel’s dating rumors.
When she thought about it, her mood suddenly became better as she smiled. “How can that be?”
As long as she could stay connected to a man like Gabriel, she would be willing even if her reputation was ruined by rumors.
Serenity clearly had a look of disbelief. “Please continue .” With that, she swiftly left.
Gabriel squinted as he looked at her back, which looked as though she was escaping.
After Zander was done talking with others, he prepared to go to the hall. When he turned around, a woman and a man walked toward him and he bumped into Sam.
Serenity held a glass of champagne and had a faint smile. “Mayor Hall, we meet again.”
Zander nodded his head. “Ms. Serenity. Why don’t I see President Rivers today?”
She gave a simple answer. “Business trip.”
Serenity was the young missy of the Rivers family, so he did not find it weird that she appeared here, but with her was that man who wanted to interview him previously. This made it difficult for Zander to not be suspicious of the reason that the two people were talking to him.
“President Rivers is really busy.” He smiled and placed the glass of champagne back to the long table behind him. “I have something on so I will take my leave.”
With that, he stepped to the side and wanted to walk past them. When Sam saw him leaving, he stepped forward and stopped him. “Mayor Hall, I’m Sam Kiln from ME Magazine Agency. Please give us a chance to interview you.”
Zander Hall’s expression turned cold before his expressionless face was filled with a sense of threat. “My time is very precious. Please move aside.”
Sam said, “Mayor Hall, I know you arc scared that magazine agencies will write without basis. But our magazine agency is an official one and would definitely not produce articles like those entertainment magazines, which make groundless accusations. I can assure you that we will write the truth and not those fictitious things.”
Zander remained indifferent and his attitude became colder. “I said that I won’t accept interviews from any magazine agencies. Please move aside!”
Sam became frantic. He’d been a reporter for ME Magazine Agency for so many years and he had yet to meet such a difficult person. “He…”
He had just said the first word when his sleeve was tugged by Serenity. A waiter carrying a tray walked by, and Serenity placed her wine glass on the tray before smiling toward Zander, who had a cold look.
She calmly said, “Mayor Hall, we heard a rumor saying that you arc about to be promoted to deputy governor. Although such rumors may not be true, it is not groundless accusations cither.”
She carefully observed Zander’s expression. His expression was calm and had no change.
He was indeed a sly old fox to be so calm.
She continued, “The provincial director may not have confirmed it, but if you’re willing to accept our interview, our magazine agency will report more of your honorable deeds and even build an image for you. This will be beneficial for your selection as deputy governor. What do you think?”
Zander remained indifferent. “Ms. Serenity, on account of your father, I will not embarrass you. But if you continue to pester me, wait for my lawyer’s letter.”
Sam was angry and frantic as he blurted out, “Why are you so stubborn?”
Zander’s expression turned dark.. “If you continue to pester me, I can only call for security to drive you out!”
