Chapter 29 A New Host of the Radio Show
Later, she didn’t stay at home for long. After breakfast, she went upstairs to change her clothes and left in a hurry when Afra wasn’t paying attention to her. Fortunately, her car was still there, so she did needn’t to take a taxi.
There were a lot of cars today, and the flow of vehicles on this road was originally huge, so Suzanne was stuck in a traffic jam for an hour. By the time she arrived at the office, it was already past nine.
Nancy was a little surprised when she saw Suzanne appear at the company. “Hey, Suzanne, David said that you would take three days off? Why are you here?”
“I was busy at first, but now that I’m free, I should come.”
Suzanne smiled and felt that the office with the air conditioner turned on wasn’t very cold, so she took off her suit jacket and hung it on the chair.
“Besides, I am going to interview an important figure today. How can I not come?”
“After David learned that you had asked for leave, he had asked Karen Morgan to have the interview for you.”
Nancy leaned towards her and whispered next to her ear, “I heard that David wanted to train her to be the host.”
“Isn’t Karen Morgan the manager of the finance department?” Suzanne pressed her lips. She had heard from her colleagues that Karen, the finance manager, was the niece of the assistant director David Birch in this TV station and a talented student who graduated from Sanders University.
“That’s right.” Nancy nodded and said a little unhappily, “Why could an accountant be the host of some entertainment program, she has a backer.”
Suzanne glanced at Nancy, indicating that she should stop talking as there were too many people around.
Seeing Nancy shut up and trotted back to her seat, Suzanne’s face turned a little cold, seemed to be a little unhappy.
Was Karen trying to replace her?
Glancing at the office area not far ahead, Suzanne sat down on her seat. The corner of her mouth was slightly raised, revealing a mocking smile.
She took out her mobile phone and called the star’s assistant. When she learned that they would arrive at the TV station after half an hour, she asked someone to buy some hot drinks for her and she went downstairs to receive them in person.
Half an hour later, a minivan arrived at the TV station on time.
Suzanne welcomed them with a smile and took them to the eighth floor. When they passed through the corridor, she happened to see their assistant director, David, walking toward them with a tall young woman.
“Suzanne, didn’t you ask for leave?” David was stunned when he saw Suzanne. He didn’t expect her to be here today.
“I wouldn’t dare to ask for leave.” Suzanne pursed her lips and smiled politely. Her voice was soft and gentle, “I thought I still have an interview today, so I hurried over.”
As she spoke, she glanced at the young woman beside David and asked in confusion, “David, who is this?”
“Oh, I thought you will be on leave for a few days, so I find someone to help you with your work,” David said, calmly introducing the people next to him to Suzanne, “This is Karen Morgan. I guess you have met her before.”
Hearing David’s words, Suzanne sneered in her heart.
What help? Even if she asked for leave and couldn’t make it, shouldn’t Nancy, who was also a host, take her place?
Why did he take his niece from the finance department?
Did he want to pull her out of this position without being ashamed?
Even the director didn’t dare to use the power so presumptuously. As the assistant director, he was good at it!
Because of the presence of the little star and his assistant, Suzanne couldn’t say much to David. She could only say politely, “Thank you for your concern, David. It’s almost time for the interview. I’ll take Mr. Heaton to the powder room first.”
“Oh, oh, then go ahead.” David waved at her. Although he didn’t say anything, he felt quite unhappy in his heart.
But since Suzanne was here, he couldn’t stop her.
Suzanne had made ample preparations for this interview. Perhaps what David did upset her and made her feel uneasy. After the filming began, she said the wrong lines several times.
The director next to her scolded her. David, the assistant director, glared at her and said impatiently, “Suzanne, what’s wrong with you? Why do you always make the same mistake as last time?”
Suzanne tidied up her slightly messy hair and smiled embarrassedly at him, “Sorry, I was distracted.”
“Seriously, if you have something to do, you should stay at home!” David muttered discontentedly. Although his voice was low, Suzanne still heard it and felt a little bitter in her heart.
But soon, she put on a perfect smile and started the interview again.
After the hour-and-a-half-long interview, Suzanne’s body and mind completely relaxed.
After politely shaking hands with the guest, she went to the bathroom.
Suzanne had been working in the TV station for a long time, and she had always been a nice person. This was the first time in her life that she had felt so obviously targeted as if they had to replace her.
When she thought of the young woman beside David, she sighed softly. Just from the stern look in the woman’s eyes and her arrogant attitude, she knew that this person was not someone to be trifled with.
But what was an assistant director of a small TV station compared to the powerful Morrison family?
But Suzanne didn’t want to, and she wouldn’t even bother to fight with others. The reason why she came to the TV station was that she liked the job very much and loved it. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have stayed here for so long.
Suzanne sat on the toilet in depression for a long time. Later, when her mood relaxed a little, she was ready to open the door and go out. At this time, she heard conversation outside.
A very flattering voice asked, “Where are you going for lunch, Karen?”
“Lunch? I can die of annoyance!”
Another woman snorted. It was Karen. Her voice was very sweet, but at this moment, it was mixed with a lot of anger, “Didn’t she ask for leave? Why did she suddenly appear?”
“It’s not good to be hurt because of this! Didn’t your uncle transfer you to Suzanne’s department? So why are you afraid that you won’t be able to find an opportunity to replace her in the future?”
“I don’t have that much time to wait!” Karen said impatiently, “Earlier, David always told me to wait! Now I’m in this department, he told me to wait again! Am I not so pretty as that Suzanne?”
“That’s not the case.” The woman paused for a moment, “After all, Suzanne has been in this place for a long time and she is very popular. If she is suddenly replaced by someone else, there will be a lot of complaints.”
“So what!” Karen snorted disdainfully, “What’s the point of being popular? The audience will forget about her after they get used to a more beautiful host!”
“Karen, you can’t underestimate Suzanne either. I heard that her boyfriend is the vice president of an enterprise and has a powerful background. You should act modestly. What if she complains to her boyfriend?”
“Humph, it’s not like I haven’t seen her boyfriend before!” Karen sneered and said gloatingly, “Unfortunately, maybe he has no feelings for her at all. Otherwise, another woman wouldn’t have appeared around him.”
Hiding in the bathroom stall, when Suzanne heard Karen’s words, she bit her lips slightly and felt a pain in her heart. She clenched her fists as if she was angry.
It turned out that Vito had been so flamboyant that he was with Rae without being ashamed.
After calming down, Suzanne opened the door and walked out.
Seeing the two women shut their mouths at the sight of her, Suzanne smiled and elegantly walked over to them. She turned on the tap and washed her hands, “Go on. I want to hear it as well.”
“Hear what?” Karen was wearing a long dress and a pair of 0. 33- feet high heels today. She looked gorgeous, which made Suzanne, who was wearing flat shoes, look a little short beside her.
She crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Suzanne arrogantly. She sneered, “Didn’t you hear it? What else do you want us to say? Are you unhappy when you heard us say that your boyfriend doesn’t like you?”
“You’re wrong. He’s not my boyfriend.” Suzanne took out two pieces of tissue from the tissue box to wipe the water droplets on her hands. Without looking at her, she said in a flat voice, “We broke up a week ago.”
“Oh, is that true?” Karen covered her mouth and pretended to be surprised. Her fingers wearing black nail polish looked particularly eye-catching against her white skin, “I heard that you have been dating since college!”
Suzanne stopped wiping her hands. Her expression was slightly cold.
Karen investigated her?
Although Suzanne’s head was lowered and Karen couldn’t see the expression on her face, she knew that Suzanne must have gotten angry.
A triumphant smile flashed across her eyes and she approached Suzanne, “I heard that he’s your first love!”
Suzanne clutched the tissue tightly in her hands and tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart.
She raised her head and smiled at Karen, not afraid of the provocative look on her face at all, “Yes.”
“So what if it’s my first love? I abandoned him since I felt tired of this relationship!” Suzanne said casually, throwing the wet tissue into the trash can.
“I’m not that nostalgic.”
“Not sad?” Karen raised her eyebrows as if she didn’t believe her, “Tut-tut, is it because your family is poor that he doesn’t want you anymore? I heard that his girlfriend is the daughter of an important member of the board of his company!”
“It’s me who doesn’t want him, OK?” Suzanne smiled, showing an extremely confident smile, “My looks and figure are all good, why should I stick with one man? There are many better options out there!”
Karen gritted her teeth. Suzanne’s every move was perfectly expressed without any flaws. Even if she was provoked by her, she didn’t panic at all, which made her a little angry.
“Miss Morgan, you don’t look well. Have you been working too hard recently?”
Suzanne asked. Then she patted her forehead as if she had thought of something. With a vexed look on her face, she said, “How could I have forgotten? Miss Morgan majored in accounting. You must be not used to being the host all of a sudden.”
“Suzanne Reid!” Karen growled. Gritting her teeth, she glared at Suzanne.
Suzanne looked elegant and calm as she glanced at her coldly.
“Miss Morgan, sometimes even though you have a powerful background, it doesn’t mean that everything can be done according to your plan. Don’t be too optimistic.”
There was some contempt in her eyes when she looked at Karen as if she had never regarded her as an opponent. It was the first time that she had shown such a powerful aura which was particularly oppressive, making her like a condescending queen.
“Well, we’ll see!” Karen sneered with a vicious expression on her beautiful face.
She passed over Suzanne and left arrogantly, “It won’t be long before I take your place!”
The woman who came in with Karen hid quietly to the side from beginning to end without saying a word. After seeing Karen leave, she glanced at Suzanne uneasily and also left in a hurry.
Suzanne didn’t care about Karen’s harsh words at all.
